I was never poached, never had my head hunted. Would have loved to have that happen just once!

F1 poaching/head hunting is part of the game as there has never been enough good, experienced people to go around (long may it continue)
Most recently Redbull Powertrains have enticed many Mercedes HPP (Mercedes F1 engines) staff away
Also Aston Martin are poaching aggressively from top teams as they build up their team, even offering a signing on bonus for more senior positions
Ferrari have a UK based head hunter, he knows the technical management structures of all the teams on the grid, who is who, who is good, who is not, who to avoid etc
In F1 being paid not to work and staying at home is referred to as 'Gardening Leave'
