I’d agree with you if this was just a random person, but from this thread (I haven’t read the article) I gather that s/he was actually an intern... surely every intern/employee would sign some kind of non-compete / trade secret / intellectual property agreement? In that case, the CEO is completely justified in pursuing to enforce that agreement!
Again, it would be different if the CEO threatened a random third party that happened to do a weekend project in the same vertical...

- darrenoc 5y agoWhy are you reading and replying to the comments when you haven't read the article? You've come at this with a terrible take by inventing a non-existent NDA that would exonerate the CEO. Why bother?
- lp0_on_fire 5y agoThe article didn't specifically mention "no NDA" either. We've only seen one side of the story here I don't know if I were the former intern in question writing a blog post about this I'd be damn sure to specify that there's no NDA or other agreement in place that would legally prevent him from doing this.
- darrenoc 5y agoThere's no mention of any NDA, you've just constructed it as a straw man.
- lp0_on_fire 5y agoThis kind of angst is what I'd expect to see on reddit, not here.
