> they’ll look for the cheapest labor they can get away with

Don't you look for the best deal when you buy things?

That's how markets work.




Yes, I am very much aware of that. My point is that as a worker if you really push for remote / WFH policies, it can backfire on you because location isn’t a constraint anymore. Why pay someone in the Bay Area when I can pay someone in Idaho? Or in this case India. I’m not saying I like it or prefer it, but it makes sense.
