Now that they've gone to the expense of moving their remaining 30 employees to San Francisco and have demonstrated such incredible loyalty to their employees, let's see how many of those remaining 30 take advantage of the many opportunities in the Valley to jump ship.

I was apart of the reddit exodus when they closed the Salt Lake City and New York City offices (I was in SLC.) It only took me 90 days which was the minimum requirement to not have to pay your moving expenses back. Since then, which happened in January 2015, I would roughly estimate that 50-60% has turned over at reddit.

All of this to say it typically doesn't end well for the company unless this is what they're planning on.

To be clear, you took the relo package, waited the minimum number of days, then jumped ship?

The answer to your question is yes, that's the way it worked, but I didn't do it intentionally. My next company just happened to call right around then.

Not just that, but how many people will join their ranks as well? The story won't go unnoticed and most people in the Tech Industry will hear about it in some shape or form.

They will have a hard time to find new people. Especially seniors. They wont leave their good, stable jobs for an employer like that.

The company is probably hoping that the L1/TN visas will keep them loyal.
