Arizona* Lucille wouldn’t even joke about moving to Texas
It’s just sneaky layoffs through attrition. Honestly these are work from home jobs (listen and evaluate recorded snippets) so there’s no other reason to make them move.
Tax laws. Thats why they want them to move to Texas.
“No.”
California has some pretty decent laws tilted to employees, I’m curious how this will shake out.
Anybody at Apple will have half a dozen offers by the end of the week if they tell LinkedIn they’re open to new opportunities.
I’m not sure people from the Siri team are going to be in high demand.
Reason #437 to unionize
I’m somewhat a fanboy of Apple but this would ruin it for me. No way you could get me to step into the state with the lowest quality of personal liberties in the country.
Hopefully not without moving assistance. I can’t imagine that people can just pick up stakes and move 3 states away!
Take the severance, then get a job somewhere else near home. They’ve worked for Apple—the world is their oyster
