We're not sure if the grass is necessarily greener on the other side, but it doesn't have to be, so long as there's more green to go around. Citing sources who have spoken on the condition of anonymity, The Loop says Microsoft has been in contact with numerous Apple retail store managers to come work for the competition in exchange for a pay raise.
Sources say not only are Apple employees being offered "significant raises," but in some cases, Microsoft is willing to pay for moving expenses as well. Once hired, the ex-Apple employees begin contacting the top sales staff from their previous place of employment to offer them a higher paying job at Microsoft.
Good move by Microsoft or foul play? Hit the jump and sound off.
