I'll bite. Whatever's Steve Jobs' state of mind was, it was still wrong.
What if you were looking to change jobs or would have jumped jobs given the offer proposed. Is it right to limit your recruitment because Steve Jobs was sick or worried about a project? What if the project wasn't the iPhone, but the Apple Newton? What if the destination company wasn't Palm, but Google?
The circumstances surrounding the situation don't absolve Steve Jobs of what he tried to do.
- djt 14y agoi never said whether it was right or wrong though. Yes it is unenforceable, what i was saying is that Steve Jobs was a human and not a god. FYI quite a few tech companies were in this pact not to hire from each other.
- eumenides1 14y agoA lot of companies were in on this pact, and I think they should all be punished. Steve was pretty consistent on this issue, he talked google and many other companies on this. This is what makes him "bad". He did it willfully and repeatedly. I think what really irks me about the whole case is, that it's a free market for competition, but it's more free for corporations than employees.
