Perspective.

The employer sees employees as resources. Property. Property doesn't have agency. Someone else is taking the employer's property, but the employer isn't being compensated for the loss of their property.

But buying a whole company? That's paying the shareholders for their property. Therefore that's good.

The leap from resources to property is a slippery slope. Also, why should shareholders expect compensation for an employee who leaves as long as the he or she was doing whatever his or her function was till their employment ended.
