I think several people live in a vacuum and forget how 99.9% of companies would have handled this. Granted forcing people to relocate to San Francisco will be a cultural and major geographical change but they are getting 3 months severance if they decide it isn't worth it. I don't know what promises were made to the NYC employees prior but if living in NYC is seen as a higher value than taking the leap to the San Fran that should be enough time to find other employment. It would be a much larger deal if the office was based in a low cost of living area and asked to move to San Francisco where it is much more expensive.
