it's perfect email composition. short and simple, right to the point, while still containing enough relevant information.
Yeah, agreed. Say only what you need to, let the implications do their own work.
yeah, why be explicit about the illegal collusion.
Is it illegal to agree not to recruit each other's workers? I'd be kinda surprised.
Very much illegal. It's a form of labor wage control
Imagine once you get a FAANG job you cant get another job offer from a different FAANG company, now your stuck, no price bidding, no ladder hopping, no finding a new job when your unhappy
It is not illegal. Companies can agree to not recruit - an activity initiated by recruiters - from each other. Now, if they agreed to not hire each other's employees, that would be a violation of right-to-work.
He nowhere says he has a rule to not hire Adobe employees; he's saying he has a rule that his recruiters can't use Adobe's employee org chart as a shopping menu. That's completely legal.
I don't think that is accurate. I am not a lawyer but I believe that it is collusion between competitors with the intent to manipulate the labor market.
I feel like that's the exact sort of loophole the U.S government would choose not to address for convenience, of course.
Oh! Enforcement is a joke, no doubt, but that doesn't mean it is legal, just makes the government work hard for it and since they were strapped (now scrapped), they don't pursue action against these fuckers.
Yeah I'm with you
