RIM Accuses Motorola of Blocking Job Offers
theodp writes "Taking a page from the insanely-jealous-husband-playbook, Motorola management has adopted an if-I-can't-have-you-nobody-can stance on its fired employees, reportedly blocking RIM from offering jobs to laid-off workers. In a complaint filed in state court, Motorola is charged with improperly trying to expand a previous agreement 'to prevent the RIM entities from hiring any Motorola employees, including the thousands of employees Motorola has already fired or will fire.' Through its Compete America membership, Motorola has repeatedly warned Congress that failing to accommodate the lobbying group members' 'principled' demand for timely access to talent would not be in the United States' economic interest and would make the US second-rate in education and basic research."

If you find this post offensive, don't read it! THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING! I am what I am because of how apes behave.
R.I.M. is a Canadian company, and this is Motorola's way of keeping talent in the U.S. All good and patriotic Americans should support Motorola's actions in this matter!
As it was modded, clearly meant as "flamebait". But there is actually a good point here.
As much as people like to bitch about outsourcing here in the USA, why should we allow our talent to migrate to Canada? Doesn't allowing High Tech workers to work for foreign companies support Microsoft's contention that we need to increase H1Bs because the talent isn't here anymore?
If you want news from today, you have to come back tomorrow.
If they're such "talents", why are they being fired in the first place?
learned more there in six years than I could have ever learned anywhere else in twice the time.
Please. As everyone knows, Seattle is the center of the tech universe. Your comments show that you are a fraud who probably lives in your mom's basement. Go back to your masturbation.
Ha ha ha, you're poor as fuck.
Y'know, the way you talk about "indulging" in health insurance makes me think you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I don't wish ill on you, but if (and more probably when) someone in your family gets sick, I do hope you'll look back on this and maybe learn something.
Cost of living varies wildly in the US, in proportion with population density. I fucking dare you to try living on 12k in a city. (which would largely remove your ability to farm, due to land / space constraints.) without going into the debt trap, that is.
