Because the company has had some bad employees and made some mistakes in the past doesn’t mean it would be a terrible place to work presently or in the future.

What would you do if you were offered to double your salary by moving to Tucson?

I could buy several double-wides in Tucson if I doubled my salary

I don’t know if I could ever turn down doubling my salary

Tucson is way too hot. It sux. Agree with your other points as well. Arizona is

Lived there already. I will pass, especially with bad leadership

You lost me at Tucson

Tare

Agreed. That’s the worst part. And I don’t think meaningful sanctions are

Money is overrated. If I had Pope's current salary, that's more than I ever need

I couldn't live in Tuscon or Phoenix. Too hot. I'll take terrible Idaho winters

Y-Zag

I left Idaho for that reason. Will never go back

Western Idaho winters are very mild

I did all that and moved to the Tucson area. Oro Valley is as nice as any place

Nat Gas Man

I live in Az and am familiar with those areas and agree with you - Tucson isn’t

Depends on what my salary was.

I’d rather be dead in Utah than alive in Tucson

I'd have to quote Police Academy 2(?) and say "---- no, we won't go!"

OldFogey

4/14/21 11:11pm

I wouldn’t do it - it’s too hot down there

Double my salary and go to a place that will do anything to be successful?

Blue Cat

4/14/21 11:45pm

Don’t kid yourself it isn’t any cheaper

Nat Gas Man

4/14/21 11:48pm

Cheaper than what?

Blue Cat

4/14/21 11:54pm

Ok yes it is about the same as Provo, but his housing would likely be about $2M

Nat Gas Man

4/14/21 11:58pm

In a heartbeat.

Depends, if I made money in the NBA, had my dream job, was making over

Double my salary?! I don't think there is much that would turn me away from doing it.

I grew up in Tucson. I hate Tucson. I would do it in a heartbeat.
