  Over the six months after his department relocated to the East Bay, 55 of the 70 employees in his group
   who were asked to relocate left. 25 of them joined his new startup.

This sounds to me like sabotage on his part, planning to harvest preferred members of that team for is own interests.

Uh, sabotage? The author indicated that this company underpaid employees and treats their needs and quality of life with indifference.

If you're talent is a resource, then the company mantra should be "We are lucky to have you as an employee" not "you are lucky to work for us as your employer".

That, or actually make the place a lucky place to work. Pay well, provide great benefits, create a great workplace. There is a HUGE difference between saying people should want to work for you vs. actually being a place people want to work.
