Employee leaves to get paid their market rate = evil poaching!
Management firing everyone to replace with lower cost workers = a necessary market adjustment
- tomjen3 15y agoIt may be my limited understanding, but poaching is when a company actively targets a particular person (say by calling them) rather than putting out a general call for CS grads with 10 years Rails experience. But, again, I may be wrong.
- dpritchett 15y agoYes but if the employee is getting more at the new job then they were by definition underutilized and/or underpaid at the job they were "poached" from. Collusion amongst employers artificially limits employee earning power and cripples the invisible hand of labor economics. Top flight employees should always be working at the edge of their abilities for commensurate pay. Anything less is an inefficient allocation of capital that hurts the industry as a whole.
