That'll still happen, but... Amazon.com Inc. AMZN -2.08% plans to split its second headquarters evenly between two locations rather than picking one city for HQ2, according to a person familiar with the matter, a surprise decision that will spread the impact of a massive new office across two communities. The driving force behind the decision to build two equal offices in addition to the companys headquarters in Seattle is recruiting enough tech talent, according to the person familiar with the companys plans. The move will also ease potential issues with housing, transit and other areas where adding tens of thousands of workers could cause problems. Under the new plan, Amazon would split the workforce with 25,000 employees in each city, the person said. Amazon is in advanced talks with multiple cities but hasnt made a final decision on which two locations it will pick, according to people familiar with the matter. The Wall Street Journal on Sunday reported that Amazon was in late-stage discussions with Crystal City in Virginia, Dallas and New York City. So now I'm gonna say Dallas is back in the running, and is actually a strong favorite over NYC because of costs of recruiting talent there v Dallas --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:911860861] in Amazon tri...
