I'm confused. Why ask people who work for you to live where you are? Is it actually important or does that opinion just have momentum. I also live in Tennessee but have been a remote worker for a decade. I deeply disagree with the politics of this place but you know, family's here. I think they just think they are right, regardless of if their claims are backed by evidence or care / concern for secondary consequences like you are describing. Flip the seats. If only it were so simple. P.S. Check out how cringe the Tennessee "quality of life" page reads. Three clicks off of the homepage of TN.gov. TLDR: Tennessee, "we keep it cheap" https://tnecd.com/advantages/quality-of-life/ https://tnecd.com/advantages/quality-of-life/
