> Google [...] would reduce the pay of those who choose to work remotely or move farther from the office.
Sample size of 1 here: Google approved my working remotely in a small town outside a major city at the same compensation as working in the office in that major city. So no pay cut.
I think there's a game of telephone going on with the facts in these articles:
"could see different changes in pay" -> could lose money" -> "would reduce pay"

Exactly (Google employee here as well).
Those articles are completely disingenuous. You could have made the headline “Google will increase the pay of remote workers” and it would be equally true.
