> The company set up an internal calculator for workers who left the expensive areas of San Francisco and New York to calculate how much their pay would be cut if they did not return
If you moved based on what the calculator said and then they cut your pay that's pretty messed up. I don't think the workers should expect to be paid the same as higher cost of living areas, but transparency in how these calculations are made should be available to them (especially if the rates can change year-to-year).
