It's not called "poaching" if they've been let go. It's called "hiring".

Seriously. GM is hiring unemployed people who have the skill set needed to work at their company. That's just like...how hiring works.

FTC just banned non-competes too.

I think noncompetes (when they used to exist) were pretty much always dissolved on layoffs.

Makes sense: If the company secrets were that valuable they wouldn't've laid them off.

They usually bind your severance package to an NDA and/or non-compete.

Doubt non-compete was enforceable in the first place, though. NDA is still applicable for proprietary info

They can't prevent you using your skills to find and use at another job, but if you know how they make the flux capacitor you can't sell that on the job interview.

IMO: If you helped make the flux capacitor you should be able to say that as job experience in order to negotiate a higher wage wherever you decide life takes you.

NDA yeah - That's totally normal and I had to sign one when I was laid off.

Too bad the Tesla board are utterly unwilling and indeed unable to stop the implosion.
