More useful == cheaper. Centralize your profits to a major metropolitan area (where your executives and maybe board live) then use global labor markets to suppress the wages of your employees.
If I live in a lower COL area, I get a significantly higher wage than expected in my area, my employer saves money, and I get full remote work that I like, I call that a “win-win”.
Indeed, but people in countries with lower cost of living are still workers, right?
It irritates me when people say things like "suppress worker wages" when they actually mean "pay less money to American workers living in San Francisco"
The people being hired in Bangladesh are not having their wages suppressed. On the contrary, they are making more and enjoying a higher quality of life than ever before.
