Albuque...I'm amused by the suggestions.<br /><br />Locations:<br />Albuquerque is high on the list<br />Austin Texas<br />Arkansas and Alabama <br />Missisippi (due to great relocation funding, but the humidity would be an issue).<br />Pheonix too.<br /><br />Heat is ok, up to a point.<br /><br />As to the CEO: Doesn't matter. HQ isn't moving. Maybe the CEO wants to hunt there or something though... The main issue is inability to hire people in at current market salaries. The salaries required to attract are too high... :( <br /><br />The number of people? A lot. If I told you, you would be able to guess the company and that I'm not allowed to do. :( <br /><br />Its in the thousands. We aren't the largest employer in LA, but we're in the top 10. One of our competitors has already commited to moving a partial division out of state (IIRC 2,000).<br /><br />If we move, it will rock South bay home prices a la 1991-1995. Big if...<br /><br />Neilwannabuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04297458705683991405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27885619.post-88069263906109310092006-11-15T09:06:00.000-08:002006-11-15T09:06:00.000-08:00I live in the South Bay, but I work in Pasadena. ...I live in the South Bay, but I work in Pasadena. We are renting even though our combined salaries are well over $200K. We sold our home in the IE in Oct. 2005. It's pretty sad making this much money and not being able to afford a home (that we want) in the South Bay. <br /><br />Looks like if you company relocates, a lot of home will hit the market. Just curious, how many people will be affected?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27885619.post-80070079464894253382006-11-15T08:36:00.000-08:002006-11-15T08:36:00.000-08:00If you actually make something the only thing in S...If you actually make something the only thing in SoCal to do is leave. <br /><br />Remember a few things about corporate relocations. The top three reasons for the final choice are in order; where the CEO wants to live, where the CEO wants to live and where the CEO wants to live. There are no other reasons, ever. Study after study shows this. Now usually this also comes with tertiary business type reasons by accident so it isn't like it is a bad business move. So, you make stuff that sits outside but can be affected by environment. <br /><br />Albuquerque or Wichita. Kingman? SLC too cold?Rob Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10042154106850545479noreply@blogger.com
