Only a drudge minimum-wage worker could say something like that.
1. The further from supervision (headquarters), the higher quality the employee. Management cannot afford to send below-average workers and managers far from their oversight. On the contrary, only the highest-caliber people would be considered for remote postings because only that class of employee has the combination of good judgment, long-term vision, and problem-solving ability to adequately protect the employer’s interests.
2. Believe it or not, there are people in the world who are unlike you: they are ambitious, driven, excited at being challenged with new problems to solve, new conditions to work within, and *opportunities* to succeed and create new successes. They have a wide vision about what is possible and they see the glass as perpetually half full. These sorts of people jump at the chance to re-locate to distant places and challenging conditions. They do so in order to prove their superior worth and ability.
That's stated a lot better than what I wrote. Thank you for a more coherent post--well said!
