I’m sure women will be stoked to have Apple relocate them to a state that could kill them.

No, it's "move or be laid off", not fired. There's a difference. Being laid off means you get unemployment, at least in most states. Quitting or being fired for cause, you don't. And Apple is giving them a little extra severance package.

Apple is still shit for doing this, because presumably they're doing it to get rid of people without doing a real team layoff, and because they're moving to Texas.
