Imagine a company paying people what they are worth rather than what they can get away with.

Still waiting for a real argument that addresses this issue instead of substance-free snark.

Companies can already do this; there are plenty of opportunities for outsourcing - and yet, somehow that "exodus of employment" hasn't yet happened - I get the sense that while going full remote may cause some jobs to get outsourced that weren't before, there won't be a total exodus, as has been repeatedly predicted in the past every time we've moved towards being more remote-capable.

Afaik, most companies that outsource are paying local market rates, not the same rate regardless of geography.

Because as an employee I charge whatever I can get away with completely regardless of my worth or how much actual value I produce.
