don't see how/why anyone else but the owner of the company would care about this.. Imagine being so wrapped up in your head about work that you're mad someone went and worked for another company, like you'd rather them be unemployed than work for someone else. Seems rather silly. I love my job, but I couldn't care less if a coworker went and worked for a competitor- if they are bettering their life, then good for them

I’d be a little pissed at a person that left the company I work for and immediately started working for a direct competitor and was trying to steal my customers. I know there are rules against downloading information but people still remember things like sales strategies, generic pricing, margins, etc that can be used to gain significant advantages over people.
