From CNET: Amazon is suing a former Amazon Web Services manager who left the cloud computing unit to work for Google's competing service.
The e-commerce giant alleged that Zoltan Szabadi, once a strategic partnerships manager for AWS, has violated a non-compete agreement he signed when he first started working for Amazon, according to a case document (see PDF below) published by GeekWire on Monday.
Tech companies have increasingly required employees to sign non-compete agreements in hopes of saving their trade secrets from competitors for as long as possible. Amazon is seeking an injunction to stop Szabadi from "engaging in any activities that directly or indirectly support" any operations at his new job, according to the document.
