Evolving Reddit’s Workforce

Article note: Didn't they fire everyone who wouldn't relocate to SF a couple years ago? I have mixed opinions about the location-based compensation issue. Of course top talent that can do their job remotely deserves the same pay regardless of where they happen to be working remotely from, and it's better for employees to have that market and mobility... but at the same time for work that dose require physical presence, you'd have to offer me pay with _extra digits_ to even consider relocating to one of the sprawling coastal metropolitan clusterfucks. Also, forcing hot-desking on people who _are_ primarily working in-person seems like the same class of trend as "open offices" - absolutely morale-and-productivity crushing misery for all because it's cheap and flexible for the employer.
