I think it might be a big deal if the employee at Walmart ran himself out of town and into Fred Myers because all he wanted to do was work in the system that Fred Meyer uses. Also, if this employee had a chance to have the code on a band on his arm and refused. Those might make things a little closer to this comparison. Or, if said employee bashed on Walmart for how they do things. The list goes on.
QBs change teams from time to time, it happens. I have never heard this before.
