exactly, same work, same pay

That said, there is actually a case to be made for paying people less if they move somewhere cheaper, since a large driving force behind the high salaries for people working at big tech companies is the inflated cost of living in Silicon Valley. If rent/mortages don't cost them as much, they can be paid less while maintaining the same (or even better) quality of life, hypothetically allowing the company to improve or discount its services/products without hurting their bottom line.

In practice, those savings will almost certainly end up in the pockets of executives and not benefit anyone, so such cuts should not be taken lying down, but the case can nonetheless be made.
