It's either hotels or fast food and I choose hotels

Something like 10 engineers left my company over the last 6 months. Management decided to buy more equipment with the spare budget

Now I got like twice the work to do, but have new shiny toys to do it with.

Another thingy about all this is that the amount of people who are furious that they don't get their treats on time is less of a financial burden on the company than sufficiently staffing their locations.

Basically McDonalds figured out that if they just have a few people who are dedicated enough to McDonalds to run the entire store at all hours, they'll be fine and profitable anyway

Like... 5 of the 7 backend people we had quit over the course of a few months, every single one over pay.

Anyway, I just got invited into the office for a pizza party tomorrow!

I don't need to know anything about virii! My CUSTOM PROGRAM keeps me protected! It's not like they'll try to come in through the Internet or something!
I too recently quit over pay, even though the pay is ridiculously much, because the company wanted to pay me 15% less for *officially* working remotely than it has been paying me for the last year and a half for exactly the same working remotely. Also the work has been making me angry basically all day every day for the last 6 months, which helped with the decision.

The different pay based on location / cost of living is such bullshit. It makes it completely transparent that your pay has nothing to do with the value of your labor and everything to do with how little the company can get away with paying you.

I also enjoy "but if we pay for the quality of the work then we'd have to pay the people in India the same as you, too, you don't want to be paid on their scale do you?"

No, but I'd be happy for them to be paid on my scale if their work is as good as mine!

How would you feel about ten grand a year (global per capita gdp) if they got the same?

That's if you just globally flatten all the pay regardless of skills/danger/stress/effort/hours, which would have other knock-on consequences for pricing such that I have almost no idea how I would feel about it because it would change everything. Honestly it would probably be pretty good once all the poo poo settled, but the transition would be horrific.
