Is there a term for this practice?

The practice I am referring to is when an employee gives a two week notice at their old company and the old employer finds out who the new employer is and tries to sabotage the employee's chances at the new job before they even started. You usually see this when someone is leaving to a competitor or the employee has a specialized skill. I've seen this happen to a couple people I've known, and I've called it reverse poaching, but there's got to be an actual, better term for it.
