In December ASIC laid off dozens of employees as well as the RMBC in the middle of a pandemic and the announcement happened the end of April at the time when there was a vaccine so uncertainty. Now ASIC is hiring 20 people in April and 32 in June. RMBC is hiring 44 in April. What was the point of firing loyal, experienced workers that were needed. Now they have to spend MORE money on training and it will take a while for all the new employees to get up to speed

Yeah it made no sense.... laid off employees had to reapply for their old roles. It made no sense whatsoever.
I’m in rmbc and I’m just riding out this $hit show until the end....
India is already helping closing chats after 8pm for asic and rmbc. It’s a matter of time.
ASIC and RMBC combined. There is still combined less payroll for the departments than before the 2020 layoffs. And the savings numbers at end of 2020 meant Glenn and Tom got nice bonuses. And the training other employees is for when ASIC employees graduate to RMBC. The people they are hiring for RMBC are prior laid off employees so minimal training needed for them. ASIC in addition to servicing agents is the training grounds for RMBC. Eventually both areas will be doing both roles meaning they are one person doing two jobs leading to each employee being devalued and grossly overworked. The daily metric expectation being floated around for the new combined ASIC/RMBC role will be impossible to meet leading to a lot of UNs and eventual turnover. Our manager is not in favor of all this.
The job descriptions for the RMBC positions say that you are expected to train other employees. Are they preparing for a shift overseas?
