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.
Did any Soylentils experience this first-hand? How did things work out for you? How accurate/informative a depiction did you find this documentary?

High-flying engineers still make engineer salary, not "Wall St. Asshole" salary that let you retire by 40s.

That's because the engineers don't do anything useful, like.. um... leveraging stuff, and oh, professionally generating competitive opportunities.
If engineers could just collaboratively deploy state of the art solutions then they could assertively synergize ubiquitous "outside the box" thinking too.

I guess the wall street assholes really are smarter than us. We are all potential kaczinsky.
