Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff has been one of the most vocal opponents of Indiana's controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act, a law that allows businesses to refuse to serve members of the LGBT community.
Last week, he canceled all events scheduled in Indiana and withdrew its sponsorship of Indy Big Data in protest of the law. He's discouraging employees from traveling to Indiana and stopped investing in the state as a whole.
Now he offered at least one Salesforce employee a $50,000 check to move out of the state.

Finally, something we can boycott. We are salesforce members.
Or I should say, WERE.
The accepted mischaracterization of the law. Or maybe the "hand up don't shoot" interpretation.
He got his panties in a wad.
Don’t let the door hit you on the a$$ on the way out.
These girlie boys are soooo sensitive.
It is, ostensibly a free country. Let ‘em move.
Any Salesforce stock holders out there? Perhaps the board should be questioning the CEO’s decision to incur unnecessary expenses.
Ooooh....such a tantrum. Stamp that foot, girlfriend.
I do not know who this Eugene Kim is...but I think they need to be called out over spreading the above blatant misinformation. Yes this is the false impression some people have...but any kind of responsible journalist should be in the business of correcting such false impressions, not spreading them.
Sounds like he discriminating against Indiana
Cool, America at work,.....freedom and liberty to move around and about, and have your expression. Let them move out of Indiana, I;m moving in.
A state with no homosexuals? Hmmm...
The company hasn't turned a profit in the last 10 quarters. Not sure how they stay in business as it is.
LOL

When the college lefties and the Muzzies come for YOU, Marc, whatcha gonna do ?
Maybe Know it All Marc should use that 50k to take courses in Constitutional Law and the American Revolution so he could honestly understand and appreciate the real issues and resolutions here.
Oh yeah, and The Bible too.
Plus the Origins and History of HIV/AIDS, the Psychology of Homosexuality (including the problems thereto)
And maybe go live in Saudi or Russia for awhile.
I’m sure that other examples would hold up as well, but the band Wilco canceled an upcoming concert in Indiana recently.
A band that size likely uses contracts. Since the venue owner and the promoter were not in violation of the contractual agreements, how is it that they can deny service based on geography (that the band had contracted to appear in)? It wasn’t a scheduling issue, it was xenophobia.
Put Wilco before a human rights tribunal for discrimination.
MAKE THE LEFT PLAY BY THEIR OWN RULES
