Seems like something that WFH would solve without having to upend so many employee lives.

Are they expecting for people to just pack their shit up, and go? We have to stop letting these companies pretend that all the workers are just meat puppets

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 85 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, probably not. They probably want them to quit. This is a cost cutting measure that they don't want to admit to publicly.

[–] turddle@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Yep. Sounds like that to me. Even Apple can’t afford San Diego which is why OP’s WFH idea isn’t an option

They want to force them to quit. Then they can move the office to Austin and rely on cheap illegal labour.

Probably not illegal per se but definitely cheaper and easier to fuck over: Texas labor protections are functionally nonexistent
