A majority of tech workers in California are from somewhere else, who came to California for the opportunity. They know what it's like back home. And yes, especially the 30-somethings with kids, they're leaving

I'm not saying there isn't some desire among employees but most companies do not want to pay taxes in 50 states. I don't think the vast majority of workers can simply move without changing employers.

Surely not but I would wager that most employees work for companies that already have multi-state (and in many cases multi-national) operations, and therefore have the administrative infrastructure to support employees in arbitrary states.

You are an engineering manager for XYZ Corp. Your boss asks you whether employees should be able to work out of state, and still be equally productive.
After during research, you come to the conclusion that yes, productivity won’t fall. However, you note that finance has flagged the payrolls issue.
Your boss tells payroll to sort out multi state taxes.
