This. If he hasn't actually revealed any trade secrets yet, why are they suing them? Because he may reveal trade secrets? I understand HP's interest and need to protect themselves, but they are doing it preemptively. As of yet, he hasn't done anything wrong.
- rbanffy 16y agoBecause the day he starts working at Oracle he will start having to answer questions and make decisions that will be based on confidential information he learned at HP. The risk of that damaging HP's business is high enough that HP feels it's necessary to sue him.
- Blunt 16y agoI just find this highly unlikely... Managers at large multinational companies just are just a few levels deep into management tend to know jack about 'trade secrets' or what the actual secret sauce is much less have their hands on it via separation of duties policies. I don't see the real "threat" here.
