They probably are and it’s likely a different set of people than those that were laid off.

They probably all got laid off.

aboutruby | karma 1129 | avg karma 2.47 · | 2019-01-24 06:46:03

Seems to me like some of them got laid-off and some got reassigned.

SG- | karma 1332 | avg karma 3.46 · | 2012-09-21 01:48:04+00:00

Maybe they got fired and these are the replacements.

nmfisher | karma 3238 | avg karma 3.02 · | 2024-04-30 07:54:31

I mean, that probably at least partly explains why they were laid off..

norwalkbear | karma 306 | avg karma 0.87 · | 2022-09-21 13:52:31

Just more regular people about to be laid off and suffer.

I'm assuming some of those still employed switched to other lines of work.

It’s certainly possible that the people who came up with this idea lost their jobs because of the latest layoff.

Kon-Peki | karma 4126 | avg karma 2.34 · | 2022-11-03 09:11:42

Yeah, they're hoping that the people they didn't fire don't "get out before the next round of layoffs"

pmorici | karma 12372 | avg karma 3.51 · | 2018-03-05 05:21:29+00:00

I hope so. If they aren’t then they would be better off finding work in some other part of the country.

It looks like the companies laying people off were the ones wanting staff back at the office.

gtirloni | karma 11092 | avg karma 2.86 · | 2023-03-13 16:42:14

It sucks for those impacted but at least it's not some BS excuse like in most recent layoffs. I hope they find new jobs soon.

RHSeeger | karma 5929 | avg karma 3.1 · | 2024-01-11 06:21:32

I'm making the assumption that they're _also_ still hiring, and that the people that were fired could, instead, be transitioned into other roles. I would be amazingly surprised if they were not still hiring.

undersuit | karma 2514 | avg karma 1.23 · | 2023-10-06 15:46:56

No, they'll continue to be laid off like in previous years.

iJohnDoe | karma 772 | avg karma 1.44 · | 2023-07-05 11:55:36

I wonder if they are posting themselves out of a job again.

redcobra762 | karma 249 | avg karma 1.35 · | 2024-01-11 15:41:26

There are a specific handful of people I genuinely hope are part of this layoff…

ta1993gh | karma 8 | avg karma 8.0 · | 2022-10-04 12:40:43

Weren’t they just laying off a bunch of people? Now on a hiring spree?

rtpg | karma 18369 | avg karma 3.39 · | 2014-07-01 14:42:24+00:00

Well 13 of them just lost their (well-paying) jobs so maybe not

ska | karma 12592 | avg karma 2.33 · | 2016-02-26 18:06:20+00:00

I don't see what's missing. Those people are laid off.

AnthonyMouse | karma 32571 | avg karma 2.49 · | 2020-04-09 05:38:03

Is this related to the thing where the bill they passed is paying out more as unemployment than people would be making if they kept their jobs?

It's possible they know exactly what they're doing, are doing everybody a favor, and will just hire them again when everything opens back up.
