Electronic Data Systems Corp. criticized its founder, H. Ross Perot, for luring eight executives away just one day after a moratorium against such recruiting expired. “We’re just disappointed he did it,” said Bill Wright, a spokesman for EDS, which is now a subsidiary of General Motors Corp. After the auto maker bought the computer services company, Perot and GM executives began feuding. GM finally paid Perot $700 million in 1986 to leave EDS, which he had founded in 1962. As part of the agreement with GM, Perot was barred from hiring any EDS employees for two years, a period that expired Wednesday. On Thursday, Perot announced the formation of a new company, Perot Systems Corp., which included three EDS corporate officers and five of the company’s divisional managers. The new company’s first job will be to conduct a three-month, $500,000 study on how to cut costs at the U.S. Postal Service.
