Was Apple paying them what they were worth, or did they pay them more than they were worth in order to damage Masimo? I don't think we know enough to say one way or the other. There must be some level at which poaching employees with inflated salaries crosses the line into anticompetitive territory.
Masimo is a profitable company, but that doesn't mean they can survive a bidding war against Apple.
- 8ytecoder 3y agoThey’re worth what precisely what someone is willing to pay them. Their expertise is probably more valuable for Apple than Masimo. It would make sense for them to be able to work at Apple then.
- IlliOnato 3y agoNot if, for example, equally qualified engineers not working for Masimo are not offered the same salaries. Of course something like this is not easy to prove.
