This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

As a note, my company, a fortune 50 company, does not adjust for cost of living. They adjust to cost of labor.

So if they were to magically hire overseas (not a thing they do), they would pay people from Spain average Spanish wages for the industry.

Yep, that is actually the correct term, cost of labor. I work for a smaller one (NASDAQ 100) and they do hire remote and do adjust for cost of labor.
