So they need to leave M$ and join OpenAI first. Then they can return with their nice new salary from OpenAI.

No sarcasm necessary. This is literally how tech industry employment works.

In reality most of them do not work in an AI related area and therefore they do not have a chance to pull such a stunt. That's why they are complaining now.
