'serious leisure'

How is it leisure if it is during work hours, and creating something you need?

The activity also creates new social ties and obligations [as does gift-giving more generally]

The cost or exchange system of gifts is something to explore more. Rejecting commerce doesn't mean there is no longer a system through which goods and services flow, and that alternative system is often less obvious. Read Graeber.

because supervisors are involved, and uses these points to suggest that poaching is not just about worker resistance

Do people still believe that managers aren't workers?

This morality is never properly defined, but is enforced by the community of poachers.

This can be a positive, a system based not on rules but continuous assessment by the community on a case by case basis. More about juries than laws, the people at the time have more power than the tradition. Although laws, maxims or even documented precedent can be useful for people attempting to navigate the system, to understand what is allowed and expected.
