Actually, it was facially more sinister than that. They were recruiting
significant people from their competitors and then benching them, effectively
depleting the technical staff of their competitors. The corporate culture
inside that place would have made a good suspense thriller. The people they
recruit right out of universities and tech schools saw that as being normal,
and they took that culture with them wherever they went. Myself, after growing
up in the army followed by active USAF duty, I knew much better, and I was
determined to retire at the age of 50 so I could better enjoy life.
