The lawsuit is just one of many high-profile cases in which Amazon Web Services has sought to restrict the ability of employees to jump to rivals, and particularly Alphabet Inc’s Google cloud unit. Hall is at least the fifth senior employee sued by Amazon after departing for Google since 2012, according to court filings and news reports. — AFP
When Brian Hall accepted a job at Google early this year, he says his former employer was congratulatory. Amazon.com Inc cloud-computing boss Andy Jassy said by email that he wished Hall would have stuck around longer, but that he wished him “nothing but the best”.
A human resources executive, informed of Hall’s move in a text message, replied: “Very happy to hear this news.”
