General Motors Co. Chief Information Officer Randy Mott called Hewlett-Packard Co.’s efforts to question two technology workers hired by the automaker “retaliatory” and a “fishing expedition.”
The technology company’s petition filed in state court in Travis County, Texas, last month to take depositions from the workers comes as Detroit-based GM is hiring about 7,500 information technology workers over five years as part of a broader shift to move such work in-house instead of using outside contractors, such as Palo Alto, California-based Hewlett-Packard.
