| Though I agree with telling them to shove it, I am doubtful its smart to put a data center in Florida. Unless you can afford the emergency standby needs from the strain of hurricanes.;) But this is not the last we'll hear of this. I figure some law professor will open debate in a classroom, and some tech-saavy lawyers will (EFF?) commit to this as unfair taxation. How about dumping our old CRTs in the Hudson? Or old modems? (I know, more EPA violations..its pollution)
I had a friend that worked in the city and lived in NJ. He paid BOTH NJ and NYC wage taxes. heck, I worked 1 mile inside Philadelphia and had to pay local borough and philly wage taxes. I would have to pay telecommuting too (as an employee of a company located inside their zone).
Sounds to me like: -quit the job and consult for them or -get them to compensate for costs (electricity, systems, cable/WAN connection) if not already -make salary worth it
(sucks. money you save on commuting, protection to environment and pollution and you still get shafted!) |
