Be afraid when your company owns your brain...
The scary part is he was under court order to drive 160 miles to and from work everyday to work for 8 hours a day without pay
to finish a program that he may not even eventually own and told he must finish it and show Alcatel how it works.
He worked for 12 years on this program before coming to Alcatel.
His big mistake was trusting those vultures and telling them about it. He should have waited until he wasn't working for them anymore, then developed it.
Alcatel is suing everyone: Intel, Cisco, this guy.
They've found a new way to make money.... litigation.
Alcatel: Where we litigate, not innovate.
