There's a HUGE difference between paying in a locale based on COL and lowering an existing salary for a remote worker simply because they might have lower COL.

If you relocate at Google or Facebook, or any large company, they will adjust your salary for the new office you move to. If you move from SF to Upstate New York, you need to update your address with HR for tax purposes, and they would most likely adjust your salary under this plan.

I moved from Austin to Seattle and my salary was adjusted up. If I move back it would adjust down (which is weird, because Austin is almost as expensive as Seattle now).
