Emails From Schmidt And Sergey Brin Show Agreements Not To Hire Apple Workers
> Meg called to talk about our hiring practices.  Here is what she said.  Google is the talk of the valley because we are driving salaries up across the board.
Then Eric Schmidt says:
> I would prefer Omid do it verbally since I don't want to create a paper trail over which we can be sued later<p>So Silicon Valley execs were illegally conspiring to drive down wages, and who knows how much more was done outside of the paper trail mentioned.<p>Then we have an article discussion yesterday and blog posts etc. in the past few weeks about how companies can't find great engineers, and how we need immigration law changes that blocks Mexicans etc. but brings in more engineers to drive down engineer wages etc.<p>Maybe if CEO's weren't illegally conspiring to drive wages below their market value, there wouldn't be a so-called "engineer shortage"?<p>I mean it's risible.  They conspire illegally to drive down wages, then whine that not enough people want to work in this field where wages have been artificially and illegally deflated.
