Wasn't Facebook part of the class action lawsuit that sought to supress wages and colluded in anti-poaching between Intel, Apple, Microsoft, and Adobe?

They may pay more, but they collude to make sure people couldn't leave without going far outside the bay. That's a monopolistic trait.

I agree they weren't putting a gun to people's heads but they were making the environment less available.

I don’t think Facebook was part of that group. More importantly though, it was in the aftermath of that, where large companies started more aggressively poaching employees, that large company compensation ballooned and startups started to complain about the top large companies hogging talent.
