Guy is an idiot for shopping it around like that. When you're employed, you have to sign typical non-compete, proprietary information docs and all that stuff, but its still rather easy to take knowledge with you as people move team to team over the seasons. The non-competes aren't usually enforced since its a small community and most know you'll work for multiple teams at some point. The info and work you do is all owned by the teams though. You turn over all that did for them when you leave. Laptops and equipment used are owned by the teams, programs are accessed thru in house portals, etc to prevent you from straight up copying files and sharing. But there's ways around it that aren't all that hard. You won't get full files (which makes it easier to get caught) but you'll get enough info to piece everything together at your next place. The one thing that is pretty closely guarded though is shock data. Only a small batch of people have access to that and they also don't move around as much as other jobs (good shock and engine people tend to stay put). So he's either an idiot that was shopping himself around doing stuff that plenty people do but are smart enough to keep their mouths shut or he got something like shock data and was shopping it around
