If empathy is important to you, please consider not using the term "poaching". Employees are not animals that belong to an employer based on an imaginary hereditary right. They have the choice (and often exercise it) of employment at a new place based on the relative attractiveness of both opportunities.
- xmprt 6y agoI think the word poaching has taken on new meaning when used in that context though. I don't remember the last time someone used poaching when talking about actual animals. I don't hang around many hunters.
- Dave9k 6y agoPoaching has a much broader meaning than the one you describe. It's simply taking someone's property without permission. With modern employment contracts (non-competes/no outside work/drug tests...) I believe the comparison to property is quite apt.
- quadrifoliate 6y agoI don't think I understand. Under what circumstance does a company A recruiting away employees from company B count as "taking away B's property without permission"? There is no permission needed by law to offer a better employment contract to, well, anyone.
