EMC and Massachusetts to HP and California: You can't have our executive

Erin McElveen details the case of David Donatelli, an executive at our very own EMC, who left for a better deal at California's HP, only EMC sued and now he can't go because of a non-compete clause in his contract, which is legal in Massachusetts but not in California.

And yes, of course, there's a bill to outlaw non-compete clauses in Massachusetts.
