Amazon Is Suing An Employee For Taking A Job At Google

Amazon has filed a lawsuit against one of its former cloud-computing employees after he took a job with Google's cloud, legal documents spotted by GeekWire's Todd Bishop confirm. 

 

Amazon alleges the employee's new job violates his noncompete clause, which, in Amazon's view, should have prevented the employee from working for a competitor for 18 months after leaving Amazon.

The employee in question this time is Zoltan Szabadi, who was leading Amazon's Strategic Alliances Emerging Partners unit. He was responsible for finding partners that sell Amazon's cloud and offer services for it.
