Apple Exec Hired From IBM Ordered to Stop Work
- josefresco 18y agoIsn't IBM a 'consulting/services' company now having sold off their PC unit to Lenovo? How is Apple a direct competitor? Given the large size of IBM and Apple, and the many areas they compete in I don't see how this non-compete is enforceable. Seems like sour grapes to me.
- briansmith 18y agoThey still sell a wide range of servers and a lot of server-related hardware.
- evilneanderthal 18y agoMisleading headline. He's been ordered to stop work until the court makes a decision - not necessarily permanently. Of course, now he has the Nazgûl to deal with.
- potatolicious 18y agoSour grapes I tell you. IMHO the NCA is probably the most unreasonable document an employer can make you sign. Divulging company secrets to a competitor, either during or after your employment, is already illegal, and furthermore enforced by your NDA. Any further restrictions is just the employer overstepping their moral rights, and the only thing it does is restrict employee mobility.
