just wondering, suppose one day the company decides to give all the locals some form of allowance (what it's called doesn't matter), and all the expat benefits stay the same, would that make the expats angry and feel less rewarded for their sacrifices even though there is absolutely no change to their overall package?
what about the other way around, suppose the company decides to double the expat housing allowance from its current level, on top of inflation and everything. if it comes to a vote in the AOA, do you think the locals would vote it down?
