I would say that the Microsoft position is more precarious than Google's
DonnieBoy | 12/23/05
|
|
No. Google is dependent on ads...
John Zern | 12/23/05

Man you are dense
BFD | 12/23/05

Clearly Google didn't want this trial to be public.

Hiring a defector from the evil empire is NOT evil. Actually, Google is
DonnieBoy | 12/23/05
|
|
Yes, Google hires scum of the earth.

That's not a nice thing to say about Microsoft Employees.

The word you're looking for is "need"
IT_User | 12/23/05

Microsoft offered the settlement, not Google.
B.O.F.H. | 12/23/05

Buwahahaha, give us what he court said and we let you off.

This doesn't help Microsoft in China, not at all!

Clearly, Microsoft did not want any more publicity about the best and
DonnieBoy | 12/23/05

No, Microsoft brought the suit. They knew Google would fold.
No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/23/05
|
|
So what happened???
IT_User | 12/23/05
|
|
Basically MS realized they had nothing to gain by continuing the case.
DonnieBoy | 12/23/05
|
|
Wrong, thjey had everything to gain, and nothing to lose.
No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/23/05

Saving somebody from the evil empire is NOT evil
DonnieBoy | 12/23/05
|
|
Dude, lay off the drugs...
No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/23/05
|
|
Helping a guy that did not want to work at MS is an act of kindness.
DonnieBoy | 12/23/05
|
|
Google tried to get the case moved, lost, an knew
No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/23/05
|
|
So if MS had so much to gain, why did the settle???
DonnieBoy | 12/23/05
|
|
It's obvious why this came about
John Zern | 12/23/05
|
|
Because MS got money, and taught Google a lesson.
No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/23/05
|
|
No, they tought the world that MS is not a good place to work.
DonnieBoy | 12/23/05
|
|
Google folded??? Sounds like Google won this round. Lee can continue
DonnieBoy | 12/23/05
|
|
Yes, Google got the scum...
No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/23/05
|
|
So if the guy is scum, why sue in the first place. They should be glad he
DonnieBoy | 12/23/05
|
|
They were glad, and glad to slap Google around at the same time.
No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/23/05
|
|
MS slapped themselves around. The lawsuite just helped highlight

Point well taken: Rats fleeing a sinking ship ??? (nt)
Plain Logic | 12/26/05

|
Really Don
Robert Crocker | 12/24/05
|
|
Yes. Google folded, (lost)
John Zern | 12/23/05
|
|
Looks like Dr. Lee won his case.
B.O.F.H. | 12/23/05
|
|
Agree, except for the reason he left..
John Zern | 12/23/05
|
|
Perhaps that and Microsoft need to make an example.
B.O.F.H. | 12/23/05
|
|
Lee won nothing, but a home for scum...
No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/23/05
|
|
Your perspective does not mesh with released documents.
B.O.F.H. | 12/23/05

|
Lee got sheltered like Marc Rich but is reachable.

Microsoft should rehire him
Salman Pak | 12/23/05

Wonder if "We'll stop stealing your people" was part of the agreement?
Plain Logic | 12/23/05
|
|
Lee was not what you would call a "Top Exec"
John Zern | 12/23/05
|
|
Will this stem the "Rats fleeing the sinking ship" syndrome ???
Plain Logic | 12/23/05

Ex Microsoft Employees
Yensi717 | 12/23/05
|
|
THAT was the most logical statement
John Zern | 12/23/05
|
|
I agree!
No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/23/05
|
|
The guy must have been at least somewhat good, or . . .
Plain Logic | 12/23/05
|
|
The problem is NOT the average programmer at Microsoft.
DonnieBoy | 12/23/05
|
|
Another point, you put them to work on something exciting, they are much
DonnieBoy | 12/23/05

Yensi, Who said "all MS programmers are horrible" ???
Plain Logic | 12/23/05

Well, the ship won't sink, but it sure does STINK.

Bad news for Microsoft's employee-slaves
interlocutor | 12/23/05
|

Stupid employees should not take the job then.
No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/23/05

It is not that simple...
interlocutor | 12/23/05
|

Employment is at will, it does not give up certain rights.
B.O.F.H. | 12/23/05

Million dollar bonuses for a 'slave'?
