It’s not really poaching if they’ve already been fired, now is it?

"scooping up" would be the right wording

Don't worry, our boy Elon will find a way to call it poaching and throw tantrum

"Poachers keep taking property from my bins in their giant trucks!"

True, they went over easy. Well done, GM. Those employees are no longer scrambled. Things are really turning sunny side up.

Eh.

If they were laid off it would depend on contract status and how the severance was paid out for when it changed to headhunting.

Plus, I don't even think this happened same day. If it was between the public announcement and separation date then it's 100% poaching.

Not that it matters at all though, it's not like it's illegal, and it barely has negative connotations anymore.
