If they treated the people working at their facilities like human beings then this wouldn't be an issue.

At this point, they should let Papermaster do his thing for the sake of innovation.

I mean, Apple has been poaching execs for a long time. Did IBM think that they were going to quietly be able to stop Papermaster form joining big blue? If so, they were DEAD wrong. I'm sure Apple offered Papermaster a killer offer, like you've written "A once in a lifetime deal" -- Do you think he's going to hold his head in shame and crawl back to the stuffy world of IBM? Especially after getting a glimpse of what working for Jobs at Cupertino would be like? NO WAY! Papermaster's going to do everything he can to keep his position with Apple.
