I’ll still gladly piss on his grave but that’s pretty good. Can’t you just picture that douchebag typing this aloud to himself like “and SEND! What a dick.”
Edit: “I’m gonna use short simple sentences so this fuckin moron can get the point.”
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.
Yeah I’m with you
We’re all on the same page in this thread so far. If we weren’t, we could simply supplant Jobs with a less divisive character.
Then, we’d be unencumbered in appreciating the simplicity and beauty of this unavoidably inherently spicy email. Love this one!
Another with a backstory I won’t spoil:
However you felt about him, one email from this guy could ruin a company.
Yea, that’s one reason I feel the way I do enjoy him.
Spoken like a feudal lord who believes that Lord Adobe is taking his serfs.
Wall street crime will never send you to the slammer.
Martha Stewart would like a word with you…
The exception that proves the rule?
That was also over 20 years ago!
Over? Goddamn.
Yep, she got out of prison March 2005.
Martha was a scapegoat

it’s not enough to employ people, these fucks think they OWN THEM AND THEIR TALENT FOREVER.
It’s disgusting.
As a kid I emailed a lot of Silicon Valley execs and once got a response from Jobs. He explained in about 4 words why my idea was bad. The guy was surgical with words especially in emails.
… What was your idea and the response?
Yeah c’mon, story time let’s go!
