...which is why we should all be particularly angry when companies in Silicon Valley agree to not try to recruit each-other's employees. It doesn't just hold down wages, it makes it more likely some employee is going to suffer abuse because they don't know what options they have.
- fweespeech 11y agoYep. Fuck all those companies.
- dwightgunning 11y agoI thought the 'agreements' were related to active poaching. I wouldn't bat an eyelid hiring somebody who's already quit or is genuinely on the verge of doing so.

- arebop 11y agoThe agreements were variously related to active recruiting (don't cold-call employees of X), passive recruiting (don't hire employees of X), and active retribution for exploring career options (if you at company Y learn of any employees of X seeking jobs at Y, notify management at X).
