Getting his trusted friends and colleagues to work with him?

Yeah I thought that was pretty common. About 7 years ago I watched a VP walk out to do a startup and he took several key guys with him as his starting dev team, and within a year hired off one more dev and a manager. In California.

Of course, I don’t know what was in whose contracts. Maybe that’s something you negotiate for?
