Starbucks has moved to Tennessee. They told about 100 staff members they had to move to Tennessee, as well. The workers are refusing to move even if it means losing their jobs.
This is not good for Tennessee. Let the leftists stay behind in Seattle. https://t.co/GDuP0Qobrd

Starbucks office workers are reportedly balking at orders to relocate to the company’s new $100 million Nashville hub, with some left-leaning workers repulsed by the prospect of living and working in the capital of deep-red Tennessee.
The java giant has been struggling to persuade employees to move from Seattle — even after warning some they could lose their jobs if they refuse, Bloomberg News reported.
The pressure has centered on Starbucks’ roughly 100-member North America sourcing team, which was told to move down south or risk losing their jobs.
To sweeten the deal, the company has dangled stock grants worth tens of thousands of dollars and offered other incentives to lure workers to Nashville, according to Bloomberg.
Pro-tip to Starbucks - there are people in America who would love those jobs and will move to do them.
All Southern universities have seen a vast increase in attendance. Just hire recent college graduates and keep them in the South if these workers disdain Nashville. https://t.co/bnfWUQQoxV

There is a huge hiring pool!
I'm glad they're refusing to move to Tennessee. Much, much better for Tennessee.

Keep them far away from red states. Libs have messed up enough stuff.
Hire new staff. Those Seattle people will absolutely HATE Nashville....the land of Morgan Wallen.

Wait isn’t it actually good? The leftists stayed behind 😂

This is the huge silver lining.
Coming from someone who lives in the PNW…TN doesn’t want these folks

Great for them. Hire new staff that lives in reality not leftist fantasy.

The new hires will also probably be much better employees!
Disagree. I see it as Best Possible for Tennessee.

Last thing Tennessee needs is more liberals contaminating Nashville.
There are already too many libs in Nashville right now, including the Mayor.
Celebrate Tennessee your best day ever, you all are blessed.

Keep all the Leftists over on the West Coast. They don't need to come destroy more red states.
