Report: Palm spurned Apple offer on hiring | Apple - CNET News: "Two years ago, Palm's then CEO, Ed Colligan, rejected a proposal from Apple chief Steve Jobs to promise not to hire each other's employees, according to Bloomberg News.
According to Thursday's Bloomberg story, which cited unspecified 'communications' between the two executives, Colligan in August 2007 said that Jobs' proposal was ill-considered. Jobs was worried about losing key Apple employees to Palm and said 'we must do whatever we can to stop this,' reported Bloomberg.
'Your proposal that we agree that neither company will hire the other's employees, regardless of the individual's desires, is not only wrong, it is likely illegal,' Colligan told Jobs, according to the communications reviewed by Bloomberg."
