What does the inclusion of the move to Texas actually have to do with the downfall of the company?

I get that it is the original title, but even the article itself points out that the company was in dire straits well before the move.

The move (and forced relocation of employees) was likely a way to force attrition, since it was followed fairly quickly with layoffs elsewhere.

If anything, including mention of the move in the title just muddles the readers' expectations of the article, IMHO, and the article would be better off without it.

You might expand the full title to "After move interpreted by experts as likely a way to force attrition" to explain the relevance :)


I agree. I think we can reasonably posit why given the source. Call it selective YIMBYism maybe?


Maybe the CEO wanted to move back to Texas before they went bankrupt? /s
