>we had people boasting about having a stable job, then hearing about a job at another BigNameCo, and applying for it just to drive up their own wage. No intention of leaving their own company, and that it was turning into a routine process rather than the odd here-and-there.
Regardless of your opinions about the morality of this practice, there's no basis for calling it collusion.
- vacri 13y agoSure there is - people here on HN were openly talking about colluding with their friends in other companies to do it. It's not to say that all engineers were doing it (which I think is a salient point), but in all these arguments, the engineers are painted as naifs who had done nothing as a group to merit this. To be clear, I don't agree with the ethics the companies displayed, I just think it's unfair that the collusion between some engineers gets glossed over amongst all the outrage.
