Yeah but the majority of them aren't willing to move. If a company gave you 2 1/2 months to uproot and move your family to a totally different state, how likely would you be to do it? They probably expected large amounts of people would be established in San Diego and would not want to move.

So they will have to move 1300 miles and uproot their entire lives if they want to keep their job? Sounds like a terrible position to be in.

I'd be doing it if I wanted to keep my job? It's a short flight from Austin back to San.

There are so many costs involved that this is a non-starter for a lot of people.
I would not want to fly back and forth on my own dime to satisfy my company. Not to mention, uprooting family/social networks/etc.
