Apple to over 100 California employees: Move to Texas or lose your job::Most of the team working on key Siri operations is already based in the Texas captial’s Apple campus. Others in San Diego are receiving al ultimatum.
This should be illegal
Note that isn’t illegal, it just means the company doesn’t get to get out of paying unemployment when it happens. And that’s only if someone is willing to challenge them on it.
What do you mean? If it was, they would just fire someone in CA and hire someone in TX.
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.

didnt they just build some billion dollar donut they cant fill?
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.
A couple years ago, sure! Today, the entire tech sector is downsizing.
It’s a bit of a weird time. The big guys cut thousands of jobs last year, but if you were willing to go to anything that wasn’t FAANG, there were jobs everywhere.
I had ~5 offers within a month of being laid off last spring.
AANF(M) engineers can still write their own check generally speaking.
Reason #437 to unionize
Hopefully not without moving assistance. I can’t imagine that people can just pick up stakes and move 3 states away!
Especially to fucking texas. I couldn’t handle that political 180. It’s why I moved away from the south and back to MN.
It’s Austin…
Yes it’s Austin, but Greg “let them drown” Abbott is still the governor in Austin too…
Let’s not forget about Senator Ted “if it gets too damn cold, join me in Cancun” Cruz… The whole state is led by political winners.
Oh is abortion not banned in Austin but only the rest of the state? That’s a relief.
“No.”
California has some pretty decent laws tilted to employees, I’m curious how this will shake out.
