A sense provided by Google for "poaching":
>take or acquire in an unfair or clandestine way
Which fits this use perfectly. Mindless thought policing of this type seldom produces any good; please employ with great caution.
- aidenn0 11y agoFirstly: Are you saying that it is unfair or clandestine to offer someone a job? Secondly: Connotation matters. Poaching is clearly a pejorative term.
- pervycreeper 11y agoClandestine, very often, certainly. Admittedly this use principally reflects the employers' perspective, and maybe a better (more accurate, more neutral) term could be used, but this is a separate issue from any association with hunting.
- letitleak 11y ago>take or acquire in an unfair or clandestine way Hmm.. The non-poaching agreements were about refusing to offer jobs to reduce wages in an unfair or clandestine way. I hope companies use the term poaching more, it makes easier to start a class action lawsuits against them. Offer anyone a job who you want to hire based on their skills and/or experience.
