Salesforce offers to RELOCATE workers and their families from Texas after state's ban on abortions after six weeks
2021-09-13
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] But they aren’t relocating the company itself, interestingly enough.
  • IT giant Salesforce has offered to help relocate its employees working in Texas, following the passage of a restrictive abortion law in the conservative US state

  • 'If you want to move we´ll help you exit TX,' Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said in a tweet on Friday

  • In a memo, the company said: 'If you have concerns about access to reproductive healthcare in your state, Salesforce will help relocate you'

  • The law, which bans abortion after six weeks, has prompted outrage among women's rights activists and Democrats

  • The Biden administration is looking for legal ways to block it

#8  Hey, if they feel the need to go someplace else, it should be a matter of their own choice. That's the whole justification for having individual states to begin with.
Maybe letting people solve local issues locally might catch on, rather that the "one size fits all" prefered the the swamp critters.

#7   "Reproductive health care" should mean access to obstetricians and gynecologists.

This was the original pitch for Planned Parenthood way back when. "It's not about abortion, it's about 'reproductive health care' and birth control for poor women."

As for Salesforce, I wonder how many people will actually go to the trouble of moving. The offer makes for a nice virtue signaling opportunity, though. "Look at us, aren't we wonderful!"

#6  "Reproductive health care" should mean access to obstetricians and gynecologists. Not access to abortion mills like Planned Parenthood.

#4  Distance working when everyone else is on-site confers serious competitive disadvantages. Why do Progressive companies discriminate against women of child-birthing age succeeding in the workplace?

#3  Translation: "If you are just too damn stupid to use birth control, Salesforce has special bennies lined up jut for you!"

#1  I have a client who got shitcanned from Salesforce, then promptly moved to Austin a few months ago. I'll have to ask him about this posturing bullshit - I doubt it'll affect his vested shares.
