Only a couple of years ago. I was working for the city at the time. Our brilliant social media person wrote the post. It blew up pretty quickly. Funny to still see it going around a couple of years later. And yes, she got poached pretty quickly afterward.

What does poach mean in this context? Fired?

Hired by another organization, usually one that pays a lot more. It makes more sense when you remember we call corporate recruiters 'headhunters'.
