    I would just move temporarily, and after probation period move far away. Surely they can’t fire me because my living situation changed and had to move…

      In this hypothetical scenario this gets implemented it would certainly be standard to have a clause to protect employers against exactly that.

        Seems kinda shitty that you basically can’t move without employer’s approval.

        Also poorer people living farther away would get discriminated.

          It’d be fair to just keep paying the same compensation you received before moving; you could still move, but you’d have to pay the price.

          And yeah, there are still a lot of problems with this approach as long as housing is left to market forces. But those problems are inherent to free markets, not to this possible solution to another problem.

      They very much can, will, and do for much less. Welcome to an “at-will” employer. The only thing that’s illegal is discrimination
