Yes, My opinion is that when Google hired personnel from other companies, it
was doing it in an ethical way. Because every new company needs talented and qualified
employees, poaching cannot be considered immoral. All that constitutes a firm is a
collection of people who have been either employed or trained by the same business. A
similar strategy was used by Google, which sought to fill open positions with people who
already worked there and have skills and expertise that might be applied toward the
creation of new products.
It is only ethical to engage in poaching if it is done in order to get an advantage
over the competition. Google’s goal was not to undermine its rivals, but rather to
strengthen and polish its own workforce in all corners of the globe. There are companies
like Microsoft that have made similar efforts, but the Google workers did not join
Microsoft.
Clearly, they couldn’t find any better carriers or development chances. Microsoft
employees were lured to Google by the prospect of improved career prospects and
advancement possibilities there. Employees’ devotion to their firm might be gauged by
the fact that they have received a job offer from a rival business. Workers relocate if the
offer is attractive and helpful; if not, they stay put.
Employee decision-making is involved in poaching, making it an ethical practice.
They’ve recently received an offer from a different business. In the end, their decision is
their own. If an employee thinks he is getting a better deal elsewhere, he will quit his
current employer. In order to maintain its staff, the corporation has just one alternative to stay up with the competition. It’s fairly uncommon for workers to start looking for a
2
new job if they feel stagnant in their current one. The company from which the
employees are departing should make adjustments to its policies or salaries as a result of
the departure.
