I can't imagine having to move state to keep my job, but having to move from California to Florida especially feels like an outrageous demand. Not just because of distance but because...I mean, are you fucking serious?? Florida? You want me to move from the biggest, bluest, mostly progressive state...to Florida?
There's no amount of compensation in the world that would make me do that. That's borderline self-harm.
Not borderline, it outright is self harm. Buying a home in Florida is idiotic due to climate change and insurance companies pulling out of the state, and there are travel advisories recommending to not go there under any circumstances (especially trans people, who can be arrested and fined for existing there).
To be fair the exact same thing is happening to California due to the wildfires. Which are currently happening right now
True, but at least with fire there's still land to rebuild on. At least until they get "The Big One" and the bay area falls into the ocean.
Bro hear me out

One of my favorite sites: http://iscaliforniaonfire.com/
Dwyane Wade has more money than he’ll ever need and even he got the fuck out of Florida as soon as his contract was done because he knew it would be torture to keep his daughter there.
My parents and brother just moved from Oregon to Florida... like wtf. At least they have something there for them, uncles who own houses and business there giving them a place to stay and a steady job there. My brother was unemployed and looking to move anyway, but Florida? I'm just hoping they treat it as a stepping stone to getting back on their feet and then move to like Georgia or somewhere else nearby
I never thought I would live to see the day when Georgia was considered preferable to Florida.
There's Atlanta and then there's Georgia.
Florida and Texas are absolute deal breakers. I won't even travel to either of those shitholes.
It used to be more common with some of the automaker jobs. Had friends who's families moved all over the US to follow their work periodically.
