My fav comment is "I don't want to live in fucking Massachusetts." CT people are so strange.

To be fair, having lived in both, they’re definitely more different then they first appear…and “Boston” is much different then “Massachusetts”.

No, that's not the point. The point is the Commonwealth is the greatest place on earth. They should be green with envy! As Lego has shown us--there is only one city in new england worth a damn, and that's the City on a Hill. Sicut patribus sit deus nobis !

I have traveled across this globe (well the civilized parts) and I believe firmly that Boston is the best place in existence. Except, maybe Australia cause they have palm trees but they also have Tuna Casserole, so I still think its a loss.

You may believe that, as is your right in this great commonwealth, but for I, Boston is the most treasured place on earth. I shall sing it from the rooftops, as the great Eddie Murphy once did on his trip to America!

As I said however, I’ve only been to other civilized countries, so I’ve never been to France. I hear people like Paris but I am scared of baguettes (inferior to our Boston brown bread!)

Yeah it sounds like this is LEGO consolidating corporate offices and also a move to reduce the remote workforce. New Boston-based postings for the handful of positions I saw will be in-office three days a week.

Definitely sucks for folks in the CT area that worked there though. The cost of living change will be no joke and I really doubt they'll offer an ample relocation package if at all.

I'd wager this is also a means to tap into engineering/design pools for US-based product development. I think all of that is centralized in Denmark currently.
