Seems like something that WFH would solve without having to upend so many employee lives.

      Also, the topic was taxes, not cost of living. But it is understandable that when folks can’t justify their bias they simply shift the goal posts.

      Pay is higher in CA so that isn’t the smug data point you thought it was.

        The topic was cost of living. Then someone mentioned it AND taxes. Then this person replied to the cost of living part.

        Seems weird to read this conversation and see the claim bias and goalpost moving. They very clearly are not shifting anything.

        Also you’re making a pretty wild assumption that by stating facts with evidence that they’re “biased”. Don’t be that guy/girl. I hate it when conservatives do that too.

        Average monthly salary in the cities is listed at the bottom of that link I gave. The two cities differ in monthly salary by $14 dollars on average, per the available data. Those same submissions show that the cost of living is ~20% higher in San Diego than Austin.

          Not relevant as the topic is IT at Apple and not folks at McDonalds as well as being about Taxes for the Company. The Company cares not one whit for the CoL of their Employees except when it affects the quality.

            It’s relevant since the topic was cost of living. If you’re going to try to talk to people, try to keep up with the conversation.
