On the same note, what is the difference between a company being acquired by Netflix vs the employee being poached by Netflix. Why is the first one a positive and the second one a negative.

Someone else is taking the employer's property, but the employer isn't being compensated for the loss of their property. But buying a whole company? That's paying the shareholders for their property. Therefore that's good.
