“U-T San Diego quoted the state Office of Business and Economic Development as saying that Petco turned down offers to move to other states.”
If San Diego / California was really doing that poorly, housing prices wouldn’t be jumping.
Another gauge I use: I have two college age kids and neither has had a problem finding part-time jobs while in school.[/quote]
It’s easy to assume they wanted to stay, but like the post above, a LOT and probably more reasons with deciding to move has to do with the decision makers and how it impacts their own lives. For Toyota, their central leadership is in Japan so moving from CA to TX doesn’t probably affect “their” lives that much even though it would affect some plant managers.
For Petco, they were FOUNDED in San Diego and I’m guessing, (didn’t check), all the execs at the top actually live here so they probably rather stay than to move and have to commute…
Bottom line is people are selfish and care about their own situation more than what’s good/best for others/company/etc so if you go in with that assumption, a lot of things/decisions/news articles make a lot more sense.
