Samsung, LG Sued Over US Employee Recruiting Policies (reuters.com)
A former sales manager for LG has sued Samsung and LG in a California court, alleging that both the companies have poached each other's U.S. employees despite having signed an agreement to not do so. Reuters reports: The plaintiff, A. Frost, says in the lawsuit that a recruiter contacted Frost via LinkedIn in 2013, seeking to fill a position with Samsung. According to the lawsuit, the recruiter then informed Frost the same day: "I made a mistake! I'm not supposed to poach LG for Samsung!!! Sorry! The two companies have an agreement that they won't steal each other's employees." It is "implausible" that such a deal in the United States could have been reached without the consent of each company's corporate parent in South Korea, says the lawsuit, which does not state a specific damages amount.
Yeah, terrible fucking summary, Makes it sound like some asshole is suing them for not honoring their non-poaching agreements. The actual article makes it clear that they are actually being sued for HAVING those non-poaching agreements in the first place.
SJW: Someone who has run out of real oppression, and has to fake it.
