Techno -Higigans limited salaries to programmers

A real corporate scandal in Silicon Valley can begin in the very near future. The fact is that employees of technological companies began to complain that they, apparently, were seriously underpaid.

The authorities began the investigation and found that Google and Apple concluded a "gentleman's agreement" with each other. Its essence is that companies promised each other not to lure talented engineers with high salaries. If a salary race began between employees, this, according to the leaders of both companies, would lead to damage to them and the entire industry. The salaries of ordinary engineers and programmers limited the ceiling of 100 thousand dollars a year. They say that the agreement was concluded from 2005 to 2009. The salary grid was installed with a common force.

The claims of former techno -giant workers are also related to Intuit, Adobe, Intel and Lucasfilm. It is believed that these corporations connected to the agreement between Google and Apple later.

There are rumors that the gentleman's agreement between the companies first broke Apple, which led to public agreements. Having ruined its cartographic service, the company from Cupertino allegedly began to omit engineers working on Google Maps. Given that Google and Apple jointly control 83% of the smartphone market, the choice of the employer for thousands of programmers is not so great.
