this is an incredibly disruptive thing to so many peoples lives. The Enfield office has a lot of families, homeowners - and they aren’t big on WFH even though a lot of their jobs are computer based and have zero reason to be in person. Lego is a pretty stingy operation (I’ve heard) when it comes to salary - and they are fine losing a ton of tenured talent and restaffing with more junior folks.

That’s my thought, and I think that’s their plan. Lose long standing employees, pay some college grads pennies to live with 5 roommates.

Their location is barely in CT even, it’s more Springfield area then Hartford (if you can split the two), and I think this matters because Hartford is the higher paying market with the nicer suburbs (Federal GS adjustment is the same as Boston). So Lego’s people in Enfield are probably getting paid even less being closer to Springfield.
