Those who cannot remember history . . .
I think we have a winner! Another Reality Winner, that is.
Intel has unleashed its legal dogs upon one of its former hardware engineers, alleging the bloke tried to steal confidential chip blueprints to potentially pass on to Micron. Xpoint marks the spot Intel and Micron parted ways earlier this year on their joint project, having unleashed the tech upon an unsuspecting world. …
that the "expert" is somehow able to fly through all the layers of corporate recruitment to land *THE* job which they need (to further the plot).
If they are, then the hiring company deserves all it gets for ignoring HR practices and hiring someone on a nod and a wink.
Are you complaining because Micron hired him? As far as as I know slavery has been abolished, people are not chained to the will of the current employer as long as they want, especially when the employer has the right to get rid of them in any moment and if people feel threatened every now and then to be made redundant they are always looking around for other opportunities.
"Intel has unleashed its legal dogs upon one of its former hardware engineers..."

"Rivers had a go at taking confidential trade and personnel data with him as he left."
&
"...that did not stop Rivers from allegedly hoovering up a selection of personnel files into a USB device..."
Why/how did a hardware engineer have/gain access to personnel data?
And I ask myself, what did he want with the personnel data? was it to help him poach colleagues? Was it to allow him to stalk Emma from accounts? Was he just sucking up everything he had access too "just in case".
I wonder if he was not really getting on well with his bosses, or if he is just a digital kleptomaniac... I feel sure there is a part 2 to this story that hasn't come out into the light yet.
