Citing what they describe as a “hostile” political climate, hundreds of Adobe workers are protesting the company’s decision to hold its flagship MAX conference in Miami Beach in October, according to a Wednesday report from Business Insider.
The outlet secured a 10-page petition sent to company leadership, signed by more than 500 employees of the San Jose tech giant. The petition said workers were “shocked and dismayed” by MAX’s move to Florida, and called out the state’s history of “egregious policies,” BI reported.
“We sincerely hope that the overwhelming evidence that Florida is a hostile environment for Adobe’s employees, partners, and customers will lead to a reconsideration of the location selected for Adobe MAX 2024,” the petition reportedly said. Workers also asked that Adobe review its event planning process and bolster event security, according to BI.
Apart from two all-remote sessions during the pandemic in 2020 and 2021, and visits to San Diego in 2016 and Las Vegas in 2017, Adobe has held MAX in Los Angeles every year since 2009. The company, known for popular software tools like Photoshop and Acrobat, uses the conference to show off new iterations of its technology to designers and businesses.
Conferences have long boosted local tourism in cities where they're held, and their importance as a marker of ethics appears to be growing. In October, the National Black Nurses Association moved its annual conference scheduled for July from Hollywood, Fla., to San Francisco, citing “anti-Black policies and laws” in the state.

The 500 crybabies should ask why Moscone isn’t the preferred location for MAX. The convention management companies will be happy to explain why.

Poor Delusional F%$$cks
Florida= cold drinks, hot women, beautiful beaches, no tent city, weather is nice, and the night life is crazy.

WHATS NOT TO LIKE
This Florida resident is absolutely crushed.
Thats whats so funny about this article, my friends in Clearwater and Palm Harbor are looking for ways to keep leftist nut jobs from all over the country out of their hometowns.
My buddy has 2 older neighbors from NY who were sitting with his group at the cigar bar complaining about how fanatical DeSantis voters were and how threatened they felt. My buddy just told them to move to one of the many blue cities throughout the country where they would feel more at home. They wouldn’t be missed.
I fled Calif. a little over 50 years ago.
Beautiful, with so much to see and do.
Florida has been very good.
Too many stoopids.
Too many people.
In COMPLETELY unrelated news, Adobe announces layoffs in 3..2..1
Jobs gone in a Flash!
“Once they get to Florida, they won’t want to go back to California.”
October is still hurricane season.
Hahahahaha.....hahahaha....cough.....gulp.....hahahah!!! Anyone want any of these dumb #!@# administering meds to them?
I got this stat from a website called globaldata.com
“In 2021, the representation of Asian employees in Adobe US workforce was 29.2% of which 41.9% were represented by women. Black & African American and Hispanic & Latinx employees represented 2.8% and 5.2% of the US workforce, respectively.”
I wonder if these woke idiots at Adobe will resign from Adobe knowing their company is a hostile environment for blacks and Hispanics!
They should move back to India.
“Anti-Black policies”?
Are they upset that the blacks are unable to rape, rob and murder white people in Florida?

Well, then, don’t come, ding dongs. And please don’t move here when you’re tired of Kalifornia. Just go somewhere else, such as my old state of Maryland, Northern Virginia, New Jersey, etc., where y’all will feel more at home. Thank you.
