>”So a compromise would be to continue with the offer we have made (to [REDACTED]) but not to make offers to any of the others unless they get permission from Apple.”* This is just so absolutely shitty behavior. It’s bamazing they were willing to talk about it so openly in email format. You get to be so great at your job only to risk being blackballed by hush hush non compete handshake agreements? Unions don’t go nearly far enough to balance out this power asymmetry. I don’t know what would. Honestly I don’t know what could without knock on effects with their own awful potentials to hamper competition and innovation. Hugely punitive repercussions when this sort of things comes to light might be a step in the right direction though.

I mean, you took it out of context the line before said: I don’t think we should change our hiring policy based on this. The line after said: let’s discuss before you make other offers.

  I think the context does not support your response. Because while they may have stated that it shouldn’t change their hiring practices, the rest of the conversation fully indicates that it did or would in fact be a consideration in their future hiring practices. So what they stated as far as hiring practice policy does not match up to what they said their practices might be going forward. There is a mismatch here. I of course do not know from what is presented how that actually played out. Whether or not the hiring practice policy of not changing the policy is what prevailed, or whether or not they did in fact render hiring decisions on the basis of the implied noncompete agreements that may have been made.

    It was the final email from Brin that said that… so from the context that was the end of the discussion. Or did I miss something?
