The only sense in which 'hired' is less precise is that it doesn't communicate that the former employer is bitter about the situation.
Otherwise "they hired people who worked for me" and "they poached my employees" describe the same thing. If the bitter attitude is important to express, then it could be phrased as: "They hired people who worked for me and I have a stick up my ass about it."
- bananaface 6y ago"Hired" does not communicate that the other employer was the instigator. "Did the employee reach out, or was he poached?" I just do not think it's worth getting anal about the terminology. Who gives a shit if your old employer says "poached" when you just got a $50k pay rise?
- liability 6y ago"Contacted and hired" 'Poached' is inherently and deliberately demeaning terminology. There's no reason to not criticize it's use.
