Well, there are likely to be about 174 people in Elk Grove, CA who may be a little miffed with Apple. The company has decided to shift jobs from their facility there, about 122 miles northwest of Cupertino, to a location in Austin, Texas. Elk Grove employs over 1,100 workers, primarily in support positions: call center, warehousing, and distribution. The jobs in question are telesales positions, including 99 online store reps, 19 customer service tech support reps, and 37 of those lovely people who will chat with you online when you’re feeling lonely. On the upside, they’ve been offered the option to apply for a new position at Elk Grove or keep their existing jobs and relocate to lovely Ausin (I hear it’s pretty nice, if you don’t mind the yearly invasion of mild pretension). It is kind of a long trip, though.
