Woke up (way too early) this morning and heard on the radio that eLance has relocated their entire company (“lock, stock and web site”) from New Jersey to Sunnyvale, CA . They spent a hefty chunk of change on moving their employees to the silly valley. My still asleep brain hoarded away one fact from the broadcast: they hope to overcome the shortage of high tech workers in NJ. Didn’t anyone warn them that everyone here can’t find good people either? And I sure hope they checked the real estate prices before they left. Whew. Oh wait, I forgot, it’s cold back there; good idea to move ’em before winter hits! And, hey, if it doesn’t work out, they can all find new jobs in a jiffy!
