Convenience. Directness. I live in NYC in an outer borough. To get to the neighborhood next door it's a 45 minute series of bus rides with the wait or... A 5 minute drive.

Now add in I have a family and try to make a toddler wait for the bus and xfer just to get somewhere.

To be fair it's a tech company though so it can impact those in the tech space. Generally it doesn't but you know what I mean.

Mine is on a server I rent but there's absolutely no reason it can't be in my house. My other federated servers are.

They already have a higher than normal quality of life based on their salaries and rsus.

They have quite the humane quality of life. They make more at entry level than the average family in the us wife and husband combined.

They generally start out of college making 150k at least between rsu and salary.

This is completely false because people like to ignore the fact that there are worldwide recognized definitions for this.

Unskilled workers does not mean you don't learn a skill. It means you don't have specialized training required to do it.

We've had the concept of skilled laborers for ages. The words artisan or journeyman have represented it for ages.

The reason unskilled labor jobs make less is because it's easier to replace the person. Wages are entirely based on the value you provide vs the difficulty of finding someone who can do your work.

We see this in the exact market this thread was about. At the height of the pandemic when companies were hiring like crazy expecting massive growth they paid up to 500 to 600k in some cases with sign on bonuses etc. Now that the market is completely flooded with people looking for jobs and there's not enough hiring going on the salaries being given out are significantly less in many cases (often like 250k to 300k instead).

I mean we're talking about Amazon workers here. So, these are not the typical Americans and the typical american is not being forced back to office because they very likely never had the opportunity to work remote to begin with.

For those making these salaries, they can very much with the extra pay they receive compensate for many of the issues raised in a previous thread.

You say this but there's a reason our tech salaries are way way higher than most other countries.

An Amazon tech worker on average will make 250 to 450k total comp a year.

Anyone working for these big companies in the engineering fields is easily making 300k a year and up after rsu. Those salaries dont exist in Europe. Some companies offer close in the UK etc but... That's why people stay in the us.

Also if we don't like our salary we just go hop to another place for a raise.

The us sucks for people without an in demand skill like basic laborers or unskilled workers. It's amazing for folks in a market with demand.

(Source I hire and work in both regions. And have looked for ways to move to the eu region.)

Oh sweet. Good to know!

Inflation. Currency is worth less across the world.

They are getting less moneys worth without raising the price.

The market. With the post covid shift, the market is asking for profitability over growth. So like every company public or wanting to go public is more interested in profitability.

My company went public a few years ago and we felt similar pressures from the market starting earlier this year maybe before.

Hmm. Not sure. Sunshine is a reverse engineered version of Nvidia gamestream. Prolly have to rely on steam for remote streaming with amd I'm not sure sorry. :(

Sunshine and moonlight. Works amazing.
