3 years on....I'd say it worked out to be a good decision.

IBM (Insidious Blue-smoke & Mirrors) has become accustomed to its role as 800-lb gorilla that rules with an iron fist. Unfortunately, that is now its corporate persona with both customers and employees (including executives). Hats off to Papermaster for being willing to stand up to this corporate bully and pursue a career opportunity of a lifetime. Although the lawsuit is without merit, it may unfortunately grind through the system for far too long based on the tenacity (and ruthlessness) of IBM's legal team.

IBM has a bad habit of tempering with former employees further employment. This has got to be in part sour grapes on IBM's part for the loss of the sales of PPC chips when APPLE switched to INTEL. How does Mr. Papermaster heading up the iPOD group interfere with IBM's business, it doesn't. IBM doesn't compete in this realm and neither does APPLE compete with IBM in any way. Services - no. PC's and MACs - no, Servers - no, Software - no. IBM likes to flatter itself far too much in the industry, and its paranoia has raised its ugly head in many other former IBMer cases. I suspect that Mr. Papermaster finally got tired of the new IBM philosophy, "Every moment here must be unpleasant." as opposed to the old attitude, "Respect for the individual." IBM's suit is specious, abusive and utter garbage. It should be dismissed.
