Yeah, that's a problem. If the dollar loses 10-20% against their native currency, then they all of a sudden have a 10-20% pay cut.

Even if that happened (which is highly unlikely) then the employees would still earn more money since SF/NY salary - 20% is greater than salaries outside USA.

Most smart people I know who work in areas with weak currency use USD or Euro. Hard to find a better reserve currency than that.
