Aug 9, 2017 at 5:51 comment added RaceYouAnytime @Xanne your suggestion is a good one and I upvoted, but it's not the expression I'm trying to recall. Either way, I appreciate all suggestions. As for "undermine," I am personally thinking of an idiomatic expression, not a single word.
Aug 9, 2017 at 5:47 comment added Xanne Does this ring a bell, @RaceYouAnytime, or isn't it the word you recall? Undercut is another option, similar to undermine.

Aug 9, 2017 at 4:31 comment added rajah9 "Undermine" is a great word for the context. (Any reason to not use "undermine"?) If she were trying to recruit them for her new position, she would be "poaching."
