Sounds like a scene from that movie with the quote “I drink your milkshake”.  
Is fiber contracting the new wild west?

I have seen plenty of contracts with ‘anti-poaching’ clauses in them.   How 
enforceable they are is beyond my pay grade.

 

And no - I generally won’t consider hiring someone from a contractor or 
competitor unless the employee approaches me first.   Even then I’m going to 
tell them that they need to go discuss it with the current employer first.

A fiber contractor, to whom I had awarded at least a million or perhaps as much 
as $2M worth of work to in the past 7 years had one of his guys stop by my work 
crew and try to hire them.  They offered “more than what Chuck is paying you” 
without knowing what Chuck is paying.  

 

Nice guy.  I told the crew (one jumped ship immediately) they should do what is 
right for them and their family.  I can always hire and train more.  

 

But the personal cheap shot nature of this act was curious.  People are 
puzzling.  I would never do that in such an overt manner.  
I did have a couple of his former employees on my crew.  He had let them go and 
I picked them up.
