> Whose side are you on?

I'm on the side of allowing all employees, including executives and rank and file employees, to quit and work for a competitor without being sued. This is how a competitive labor market is supposed to work.

"Quit" is the operative work here. The employee in question was building the competitor using Apple resources. He didn't quit and work for a competitor. He worked for a competitor and then quit.

I wish it was that easy, it will work for small companies Until you run into economy of scale where your previous company has advantage over your own.
