"Poaching" is disgusting rhetoric, as if employees were the property of their employers.
- sp332 12y agoIt fits if they're explicitly hiring Apple employees just because they work at Apple.
- dexterjs 12y agoHow could you confirm it's not based on their skills? You make it sound like Tesla has a personal grudge and isn't just seeking top tier talent.
- actsasbuffoon 12y agoIt's difficult to "poach" people who are happy and well compensated. No one put a gun the these employee's heads. I love Apple products, but what did they expect to happen when they colluded with other industry heavy-weights to suppress developer wages? This was bound to happen sooner or later.
- icehawk219 12y agoSadly that's exactly how most companies view their employees. I especially love hearing PM's refer to me and fellow tech team members as "resources" instead of "people". Nothing like being dehumanized on a daily basis.
- twiceaday 12y agoYou are not the resource. Your man-hours are the resource. Don't take it personally.
- NiceOneBrah 12y agoNo one is arguing that people belong to their employers. Poaching is a standard term to describe the process of strategically hiring people who are already working at a specific company.
