The article makes mention of this, specifically customer support people are benefiting from this, which according to the article would have a 50k/year salary otherwise.
They're also based in Chicago - 70k is right where things start to get comfortable.
i think they said none of their employees live in SF and lots are remote. At least half are spread out across the globe. So $70k probably goes a long way in small towns.
even better!
My question is the PORTION who are benefitting - is this 2 employees? 20? If it’s 20 this is a serious commitment, if it’s 2 it’s more of a PR stunt...
