So he was not okay with Google hiring former engineers Apple let go. Unbelieveable.
- atomicfiredoll 13y agoI guess that when Jobs told them, "you'll never work in this business again" he was serious.
- cwaniak 13y agoIt might come as a total shock to you, but "this business" doesn't end with Apple and Google.
- autodidakto 13y agoYou're supposed to laugh.
- atomicfiredoll 13y agoNeither do the anti-poaching agreements. Zing! Thanks, I'll be here all night!
- allochthon 13y agoUnbelieveable. At the level of principle, I agree. At the level of practicalities, knowing a little about Steve Jobs, this is believable, unfortunately.
- Natsu 13y agoI'm amazed by how much of this agreement seems to have been driven by him. I know these investigations take a really long time to process, but part of me wonders if his passing on had anything to do with this being discovered.
- drawkbox 13y agoNothing really made me not like Jobs previous to this but I feel the same way, this was his doing and it changed my opinion of him. However I never thought he treated Woz right and that should have been a tell on how he saw engineers no longer working with him. High talent fields do seem to get pretty sport/league like where talent are locked in by agreements/contracts, only here the companies got the sole benefit. Maybe we need a Programmers League with free agency.
