Seriously? Because your working conditions are terrible, remote engineers are bad for having good working conditions? Here's a hint - stop wasting your time hating others for being happy, and work out how to improve your own working conditions into something you enjoy.
I resent my peers being given visibly unequal treatment. It's no different than if some engineers get free lunches and others did not. I guarantee you there's onsite engineers in Coinbase who feel the same way.
As for "improving my own working conditions," that's exactly what I did, by quitting that job and taking one with a co-located team, and I'm much happier because of it.
Let me repeat it again - for you, nothing at all has changed except that other people around you are also suffering. Your attitude is awful.
If someone came tomorrow to your office and gave a million dollars to each of your team members and $10K to you, you would resent your team members for receiving more money than you, right? People like that are only happy to see others clawed down to their own level.
That there's no (visibly) unequal treatment is definitely part of it. I want to work for an employer that I believe is fair.

I take it you're a fan of Jeb's tax plan.
You sound very bitter. I hope you find what you need to cure that, but please don't pollute hacker news with your sour grapes. I'm sure there's a nice person underneath that veneer and I hope you can find a way to be that person more often.
