What did they steal? CEO destroyed his own company when he bought a bunch of highend speaker brands. WTF is a medical device company doing buying consumer audio companies?


That’s not for you to decide. It somebody is eating/smoking/drinking themselves to death, does that give you the right to murder them?


I don't follow your argument. Are you saying eating or smoking to death is like a CEO making bad decisions that causes their company to struggle?


No, it’s that murdering someone doing those things is wrong. Even if the company is clearly circling the drain that doesn’t give apple or anyone else the right to steal their staff and infringe on their ip.


There’s no such thing as stealing staff especially when you severely underpay you employees. $100k for sr devs. Pay them what they’re worth and they won’t leave.


They very probably broke non solicitation rules, and stole ip.


California doesn’t allow employers to conclude with each other to suppress employees salaries. Non solicitation agreements are illegal. Employees are allowed to freely move companies and get market value.
