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

    A decade ago, a lot of folks would probably seriously consider this. Austin is a rad town and cost of living is cheaper than San Diego. Now moving to Texas could put you at significant risk if you’re a woman.

    Apple, a company that likes to value diversity and inclusion, is apparently fine with putting its female employees in harm’s way for a tax break.

    Of all the shit Apple has done, this is particularly disturbing.

        austin is crazy expensive now. it was already starting to get that way when i lived there ~ 25 years ago.

        and i’d pick the san diego climate any day over anywhere in texas.

        all the tech companies should move to another smaller city in a blue state all at once. turn Salem OR or something into the next big tech hub

      value diversity and inclusion

      Bullshit.

      They don’t give a shit.

      It’s something of importance to their target demographic, so they play into it.

      Sorry, values diversity and inclusion?

      Yeah, if you include the slave labour that was literally chained inside their factories in China?
