If you were a HCN, do you think pay should be equal between HCNs and expatriates in equivalent positions? If you were president of your subsidiary in a host country who has profit/loss (P/L) responsibilities, as a PCN your pay is ten times higher than the pay for the highest paid HCN (your vice president, who is the third highest-paid employee). The second highest-paid employee is another vice president, a fellow PCN like you, who does essentially the same work as the HCN vice president and is paid five times more than the PCN. What do you think?
