Chick-Fil-A's engineering office is in middle of nowhere south Atlanta. You either have a long commute from midtown and above or you're living in some sketchy neighborhoods.

According to this article[0], they have trouble retaining employees, because their office location is so bad.

Most Chick-Fil-A employees are probably not engineers.

Which is why the comparison is pointless.

>According to this article[0], they have trouble retaining employees, because their office location is so bad.

No, nothing in the article says that.

> The decisions are based on the battle to recruit and retain top talent. More of those companies are moving to the Beltline.

The fourth paragraph.

Less directly, they quote a spokeperson:

> This new office space will allow us to grow while inspiring new and existing talent Christina Coleman, director of campus planning and operations for Chick-fil-A

> Basically you're saying people shouldn't work there because they'd have to live around poor blacks instead of high rise condos with rich whites.

> South ATL isn't all bad but your implied racism is.

He didn't say anything racist! This is a baseless attack.

I wouldn't want to live or work in college park either. It has one of the highest violent crime rates in the entire state [1].

The parent poster even mentioned working around midtown, which is incredibly diverse.

Don't be like this. It's harmful to our community. Even if you did think he was racist, there are better ways to approach the issue than with venom.

You don't even know this person's race anyway. Way to assume.

In-N-Out does as well. In-N-Out location managers make serious money and the company is known for promoting from within, good benefits and positive employee experiences.

Interestingly, both Chick-Fil-A and In-N-Out are highly religious organizations.

True conservatism can be appealing when every new thing is a means to strip away rights, money, and privacy.

Is there anyone in the universe voluntarily quitting their job at Google to go to work at In and Out Burger? No? So in what sense is it a better place to work? Clearly not empirically.

If pay weren’t a consideration I would have been working at a coffee shop years ago.

I love working with a complicated temperamental machine and cranky demanding sometimes charming people.

Which is why I went with my 2nd choice: programming

My understanding is that it's just based on employee satisfaction with their workplace. The implication is that In-N-Out Burger might be a better place to work relative to other options for its employees than Google is relative to other options for its employees.

I bet lots would if the pay was the same.

God, if pay for all jobs were equal I'm not sure software development would even make my top 100 list of jobs I'd like to do.

As an engineer?
