This is... irrational. The same with interviewing for a job that's being advertised as not remote, and believing that you can somehow change the employer's mind with no leverage.

Realistically, this is how things play out. The company has you, person A, person B doing the same tasks. You have the same workload, but at some point A and B start complaining to management that you're not pulling your weight. And why? Because unconsciously, you know that A and B are being paid double the amount as you for the same work. You're more likely to show up late for meetings, have absences, and need extra accommodations if the company ever needs you to travel. And (I assume you're female by the account name) no company needs the threat of gender discrimination / abuse when you finally exhaust yourself on this 1/2 arrangement, and stomp your foot to demand a raise. These consequences are foreseeable.

These ideas are really, really extreme to be coming from someone with no workplace experience.
