People were betting that Texas was infallable in energy production.

I only know a few transplanted oilpatch workers, but they always did everything possible to be in Alberta for Christmas to pay Alberta taxes because of lower tax rates. The difference in the wfh, typically tech crowd is that Toronto salaries are generally much higher than Alberta tech salaries, so even paying Ontario tax rates than to have a lower salary against Alberta rates.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Don’t even get started with people getting paid Bay Area salaries coming here to live on the cheap.
So ya, I believe this is an entirely new problem. Companies are doing everything to crack down on this so maybe it’s not going to be a problem for long.

The whole different salary for different location concept is going to break down one way or the other in the next decade. The flaws are becoming obvious now, but the solution is not yet apparent. Tech folks will figure it out somehow.

So I followed up, apparently gyms were closed was more like: I dont want to wear a mask, so they might as well be closed. And small stores were closed forever vs big box stores, but are open now. So mostly just Facebook ranting from the sounds of it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I didnt mean to take a shot at you, I was just surprised by your comment, vs the info I'm seeing, but that info was heavily colored after all.
My old company had the same pay for the position nationwide. It's one of the reasons I left, because in Calgary we were doing 8x the work, with far worse shifts than the other cities.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I was surprised to see this in the news because AFAIK Texas has been pretty openly doing this since March 2020. As someone else mentioned, the snow storms they have been getting have probably done more to isolate people than anything else haha.
