Challenge #00710 - A345: Vicious Competition

MongoCorp runs across a rival business concern…AzTech.

Despite the near meteoric rise of MongoCorp Consolidated Business Concern, there was a rival in the South Americas. AzTech Incorporated.

They profited by a pyramid franchise scheme that sent prescribed percentages of profits to the central offices in Tacuba, and busily recruited and expanded all around them.

Their flagship products were QuetzlcoatlNet and the Obsidian Drive. The sharpest technology on the planet.

But their sacrificial employee management skills were in direct opposition to MongoCorp’s. MongoCorp began making a habit of recruiting those former members of AzTech who had been cut off without insurance and expelled from the corporate structure.

Naturally, AzTech objected. They sued, claiming the usual blunt-force legal tactics of corporate espionage and head-hunting. MongoCorp countered with proof that the rescued former employees were working in areas where their former expertise was next to useless.

Similarly, the smear campaign came to nothing as MongoCorp’s loyalty incentives left AzTech’s reeling in the dirt.

They eventually came to an understanding. Though silicon was AzTech’s flagship, they also excelled at advanced farming techniques.

But nothing would stop the slow leak of former AzTech employees towards the greener fields of MongoCorp.
