Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Google CEO Sundar Pichai was reportedly keeping a close watch on the loss of key talent to rivals, especially Apple.
What Happened: Amidst an ongoing antitrust lawsuit brought by the U.S. Department of Justice, an email exchange between Pichai and a Google executive revealed the CEO's insecurity amidst concerns that Apple was working on its own search engine.
In the email, Pichai asks the Google executive to give him a monthly report of loss of talent to key competitors. What stands out in this conversation is Pichai wanting to micro-manage this for Apple in particular. He asks the executive to email him about every individual talent poached by the iPhone maker.
