In Mexico till recently abortions were illegal, was sales force deciding not to do business there? Did it make motions to oppose it?

If they didn’t boycott or make a fuss in Mexico what makes Texas different or France where you’re okay till 12 weeks.

Will they boycott countries where abortions are more cumbersome than California?

The French have a decent policy for the most part perhaps we could enact something similar.

Salesforce does a lot of business in Texas, and hasn't announced any plans to change that, so I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say "boycott". The source article just mentions a relocation offer. I suppose I don't know Salesforce policy specifically, but every big tech company I'm familiar with has programs to bring overseas employees to the US if they want (and can get a visa).

Texas is an American state. Are you looking for a bigger difference?

Yes I’m looking for consistency in stance instead of hypocrisy.

It’s a lot easier to transfer employees of any skill and speciality to different states. Transferring employees between countries is a lot harder, and for some careers (e.g. tech support) going to be nearly impossible.

It's not hypocritical. Salesforce wants to keep employees that relocated to their Texas offices happy. France and Mexico have not changed the status quo, and I'd assume most of their employees in those countries have always lived there.

Will they relocate me if a state raises my tax burden and offer relocate me due to the hardship?

Are they only offering the relocation to employees who might need an abortion or because you differ in opinion?

Salesforce, like most companies, adjusts compensation for local cost of living...

You know as much as I do.
