So if Apple came to your company, promising licensing, collaboration and other things, when all along their intention was to "take" "your" employees, you'd be cool with that deception?
The employees made out better - good for them. That's a lot easier to do when you have a market cap 400 times higher than that of the company you made all these promises to, and then left holding the bag.
- meindnoch 1y agoIf another company taking some of your employees will affect you company's bottom line, then you better pay those employees handsomely.

- burnerthrow008 1y agoSincere question for you: Do you actually believe that your employees belong to you?
- FireBeyond 1y agoNo. That's why I framed those words. They're not taken, and they're not yours. I thought I was pretty clear that I felt the outcome for the employees was positive and that Apple's actions were actively deceptive. It was clear in the trial that Apple had zero intention of collaboration, licensing, or patent sharing and just used that as a pretense to "get in the room" and see who showed up on Masimo's side so they knew who to target with competing offers.
