Rivos countersues Apple over employee intimidation with restrictive agreements

You can seek employment anywhere you want, what you can’t do is use company time and hardware to do it, nor can you during working hours recruit other people within on company time. You would think that people earning so much money would have plenty of avenues outside of work to meet and talk to each other instead of being lazy and doing it on company time and material (hardware). They can’t plead, poverty.

Also, this is a battle between the one percent and Apple will lose not because it’s wrong, but because the one centers are privileged, and they generally don’t like to put rules on themselves.

Another thing you can’t do, or shouldn’t be able to do but once again, the one percenters have a different set of rules for themselves is steal material/info/documents, from the company you work for, but enforcing that has been so sloppy, among companies that most people think they can do it whenever they want. And usually the high-end employees get away with it. Once again, there are different rules for those that are high up on the hog.

Who is the one percent if not Apple?

Is Puneet Kumar that wealthy?

This is a battle between the one percent, operative word between. All of the participants the engineers, designers, programmers, judges, lawyers, and Apple easily fit into the one percent, and to join the one percent club you merely need to have a net worth of $10-11 million dollars or more. This illustrious group doesn’t like to be constrained when it comes to doing what they like, in comparison to those beneath them and at a subliminal level, they usually look out for each other when it comes to certain legal conflicts. Which is why Apple ultimately will lose the case.

The phrase one percenter is merely, just another way of saying (white collar worker usually a knowledge worker or decision maker) upper class worker/citizen or company referring to (the people who run the company in question). All of the people involved with Nuvia certainly qualify.

Note: to be part of the 2% you merely need to have a net worth of 2 1/2 million dollars.

With the work demands of Apple, I think they can plead time poverty. Apple expects a full commitment from everyone, and if you're working 60+ hours a week that very much restricts your recreational time - plus it can breed resentment, and a blurring of the mental line between official company time and "do my own thing" time.
