Sadly, this type of anti-competitive behavior is not limited to the companies named in the lawsuit. Most corporations work cooperatively with each other (via their HR departments) to determine what the market salaries are supposed to be…and by virtue of discussing it with each other, end up setting them on their own.

More manufactured outrage from California. Employees migrate between companies in Silicon Valley all the time (that’s the biggest reason Silicon Valley exists in the first place). The agreement was just that their recruiters wouldn’t actively try to snipe talent from each other. If the companies were really trying to limit the mobility of their employees, they’d just migrate their engineering departments out of California.

My rather pessimistic guess is that this idiotic suit will gain some traction in California, but get smacked down on the federal level.

More shit for Apple. They deserve it, to say the least.
