Has anyone else poached workers from an old job?
How did you feel? Great? Like an asshole?
Well, I still have my awesome job I've been woo hoo'ing about for last 2 years.
I used to have a similar job for much less pay at a really shitty company, but they DO have some skilled people there that are actually making decent $.
I got a new guy to train from there a couple weeks ago. I got good word on him from very trusted friend in same line of work.
Ugh! He got hauled off to jail on a failure to appear warrant AT WORK Friday!
Now I (1.) Look like an ass for telling them to hire the kid. (2.) Now I have to do the fucking work instead of watch him while I "train" him.
But the main thing is that he will keep his job if he can get bonded out of jail. He's doing great work, good knowledge, keeping a close eye on his work, etc.
Now to poach a few more that I actually know. My friend giving me the word on who I might get is the one I really want to poach, I need to work my way up the ladder.
Same friend told me..."Fuck 'em. Poach 'em all then maybe this shithole will shut down!".
The people I know and really want will take lots of coaxing, and they are at least less likely to get hauled off to jail.
I think I am doing the right thing by saving people from working for totalitarians, well, not THAT bad, but "work for assholes" (FACT) to come work with me in the growing team I am happy to be in on.
Anyone else saved or stole someone from an old job?
