Jobs can't be stolen. It's just a structured activity that we give worthless colored paper (or bits on a bank's server) to people for doing.



Responding because I'm getting downvotes... I (an American) was hired at one company because the management felt the country where the company was started (not in the USA) had sub-par engineering talent. Now I don't believe that statement to be true, in this specific case or in general, but wouldn't that make me a thief? Should I be locked in jail for taking a job people thought they owned?
