[selfinvariant]

To add more color about the VMWare decision:

- the compensation strategy seems in line with what other companies were doing. Compensation adjustments based on local markets are fairly standard for the large tech companies. They seem to be fairly limited though (< 20% of TC) inside the US - Lots of tech companies allow their employees to work remotely until the end of 2021 keeping their current comp. I'm not surprised to see that changing and VMWare may be the first canary (or I'm just not aware about other companies already doing that)
