Facebook Inc. Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg has weighed in on the long-running legal dispute over Silicon Valley technology giants pirating each others’ employees in a way that may hurt her company’s rivals.
Sandberg said in a court filing unsealed last week that while she was an executive at Google Inc. in 2006, she knew of an agreement to avoid recruiting some workers from software-company Intuit Inc. After she joined Facebook in 2008, Sandberg said she declined to limit hiring employees from Google.
