personally I would be pretty pissed if a company made me an offer that I had NOT decided to take, then proceeded to tell my boss that they had done so. Now if I don't take the job I have problems at the current one due to a pissed off boss.
Programming is a race between programmers trying to build bigger and better idiot proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots, so far... the universe is winning.

I saw nothing in there that should qualify as illegal or warranting a suing over. It sounded more like the 3 companies were trying not to be d*cks to one another by constantly trying to steal employees. There's nothing in there about keeping wages flat. They just didn't want to start bidding wars. If a new offer was made the sky could still be the limit. The others just agreed not to counter it.

They are d*cks by not competing for qualified employees. It's funny how companies don't want to compete if they don't have to for anything.

The article didn't I was making the opinion about keeping wages flat. There's no reason to raise the bid if the other party won't counter higher. The sky isn't the limit because both sides won't compete or bid against each other. They could basically just pay the person the same wage or very nominally the same and the person would basically make the same at either place. That's the point. Companies are supposed to have to compete for employees the same way they have to compete for market share.

I'd be pretty pissed too.

I've found this especially true of family owned businesses. They see it as some kind of betrayal. It's funny how that street is one way in their favor.
