“These are incredibly personal issues that directly impact many of us — especially women,” Salesforce told employees in the message, which CNBC obtained. The company did not take a stance on the law. “We recognize and respect that we all have deeply held and different perspectives. As a company, we stand with all of our women at Salesforce and everywhere.”

The note continues, “With that being said, if you have concerns about access to reproductive healthcare in your state, Salesforce will help relocate you and members of your immediate family.”

8. If I Had Any Female Family Members, I'd Sure As Hell Ask For It...

No way I'd want to stay after all that crap the Texas Taliban just pulled.

10. Wow! Good on them!!!

When you stop and think about it. If we considered each US state as a separate country, then we could look at relocating from Texas as a form of asylum? Some residents are being persecuted. Basically, everyone beside old white Republican straight males.

11. Hope a bunch of them pul up stakes and leave, depress the TX tax collection efforts.

I certainly will not be visiting my relatives there any time soon and probably, sadly, never again.

12. Making Texas redder

Seems like an odd way to combat this law

[LanternWaste]

13. Salesforce did not state they were attempting to combat anything.

Merely to assist its employees and contractors to move if they wish to.

No real purpose for you to restate their goals as something other than what they are simply to then question that movement of your own goalpost.

indeed...
