Remote working discount?

I love that I get to work remotely but lately I have been worried that I’m getting paid less than I deserve because of it. I don’t have any hard evidence but I feel like it’s easier to justify paying someone who you see every day more than a remote employee. Also I think there are friends of mine who’d kill to wfh and so they can replace me more easily with others that feel the same. How do you tell if you’re in a situation where you’re underpaid?

From the perspective of a hiring manager, I would say that as a generalization, remote positions certainly tend to get lower payout than on-site, full-time roles. The reason this tends to be true has less to do with the fact that there is a supply-demand imbalance (i.e. in many cases there are more people who want remote jobs than employers who offer them) than the fact that when you are hiring for on-site, full-time jobs in very expensive labor markets (like big metropolitan areas, for example), someone's "worth" has a lot to do with that market's compensation dynamics rather than their intrinsic resume / CV value. Situations when this isn't true tends to be when someone starts off as a full-time, on-site employee and then transitions to becoming remote. At that point, I don't typically see employers docking pay for the employee who is now working more flexibly /remotely.
