Most of their staff is from US/UK, but they just do not want to pay fair wages, which is why I posted the other thread where it was highlighted more.

Is it more fair to pay you $120k or more fair to hire three people in a lower cost area?

This argument sounds more selfish than fair to me.

It's unfair to pay low to some and high to the other (as I pointed out earlier most of their employees are in US who are getting paid the average US salary).

A company should follow some rules to neutralise the discrimination between employees, it shouldn't be all pick and choose and take advantage where they can, that's not really the reason one should have a remote distributed team to get cheap labor.
