When Rules Don't Apply is a 28 minute documentary that explores "no-poach" agreements and how they violate antitrust law. Watch the full film on vimeo for free here. For years, Apple’s Steve Jobs, Google’s Eric Schmidt and other hi-tech CEOs engaged in a conspiracy against their own employees, agreeing not to hire each other’s workers. The secret deal denied career advancement and better pay to the very people who made their companies successful.

I put in one of those no-poach agreements and significantly benefited from it. Hey, I'm just that kind of guy. Karma eventually caught up with me, though.

Is it still possible to sue Steve Jobs?

He was the hardest hit by wage suppression.
He only made $1/year!

Yup, one fucker I cannot stomach is this Jobs fella. What a miserable human being who was only good at one thing. It's too bad. I'm sure his family wished he was good at at least two things.
