[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is going to create some very weird incentives to hack the cheapest location that still pays full salary. Like the furthered out SV/DC/NY suburb. [/quote]

I highly doubt the pay calculations will be according to home value. That level of granularity frankly will lead to discrimination lawsuits. [/quote]

I wasn't saying it was. Although that is factored into COLA adjustments. I just don't think you can 'hack' Facebook COLA's calculator by living in Haymarket and claiming a Washington, D.C. price tag.

They'll know.[/quote]

If they pay me less to live in PG vs MoCo they are going to get sued. And lose. Quickly. [/quote]
Sure, tough guy. They could use COLA per zip but it’s a level of granularity not worth it. You’d have no grounds since there is no requirement to live in a certain zip.[/quote]

Let’s put it to a jury.

That said, I don’t think FB will do this (PP was speculating). But if they do, this will be the result. [/quote]

I think you are mixing two different issues. If someone wants to move to Florida and WFH rather than DC, there will be a COL adjustment that reflects that. But if someone wants to live in MoCo vs PG with the office in DC, that's very different. I haven't seen COL adjustments for a general area.

However, what will make a difference is adjusting for employees who never come into the office anymore, regardless of where they are working. At the very least, this seems like a two-prong pay issue.

There will be a cost for no longer going into the office.[/quote]
