In the US I can't think of any circumstances where an employee would own his employers customer information.I know of some scenarios where the employee is entitled to this information but I wouldn't think Jeanie's role would have warranted such ownership. YMMV.
It seems clear to me and especially based on Eva's post, to easily read between the lines that she's been poached by a past employee looking for a free jumpstart to their new business off the hard work of another.
I do wonder what is going through Jorge's mind right now, as he was set to leave and is now staying..
He's probably planning what he's going to spend his new raise on.
