Employees turn the tables on Softbank and hold the company to ransom
The employees proposed that Softbank receives only 10% of the project's value, while the remaining 90% was to be paid to the employees. Piotr Jeleński, member of Softbank's board, describes this as an act of, "Dishonest competition and a breach of business confidentiality," which will result in criminal proceedings. The contract is likely to be taken over by Computerland, Softbank's greatest competitor. However, Michał Michalski, spokesperson for Computerland refused to comment on the situation. Meanwhile, Softbank assures that the loss of the contract will not influence its 2006 financial projections. (Puls Biznesu, p. 8) M.K.
