Well RJ currently has 574 job postings on their website. It does my heart good that they simply cannot catch up. I was one of the 550 let go and was of course told that I was absolutely rehire eligible. Of course that hasn't happened. I was at RJ for 10 years, got great reviews and nice (not great) raises. Since I was let go I have attempted 3 times for a job in areas I am totally qualified for. A couple former peers even reached out to me saying I should apply. The applications never went anywhere. I hope the brain drain continues until Paul, Bella and Vin make it to the front pages.

hooray we made it to 593 job openings. HR is losing ground every week. Nothing could make me happier. It appears that RJ is adding 10 new postings a day while removing roughly the same number. The knowledge that has left RJ must be immense. How you feeling about this Paul?
As of this posting there are now 586 job openings. RJ will soon make it past 600. Way to go Paul. How can a company function with so many openings. So sad for the "worker bees" trying to survive at RJ.
I agree, let RJ HR try to sway things. Everyone can see thru it.
I actually would be happy if RJ HR is monitoring this page. They need to see how bad a hand Paul dealt to 550 people. He should be proud of himself, laying off 550 people then purchasing a number of companies, record profits, huge cash on hand, phenomenal turnover, agencies turning down work at RJ due to their contractors refusing to come to RJ. Well done Paul, well done.
thanks HR for the post, what would we do without you trying to moderate this site. why don't you do your job and stop the abuse?!?
There are other factors that can contribute to the number of job postings increasing: maybe they are indeed growing?
The pandemic is much more under control than a year ago. IT is able to work remotely indefinitely. Their net income has exceeded pre-pandemic levels. Their stock is at an all time high.
I know this website is for venting, but maybe they are doing something right.
Lets face it, all of us laid off last year, was not to save money but to clean house of the older IT team or get rid of people who the VPs had a grudge against. We will never be hired back! I'm just wait to see another major outage like the Exadata platform going down and maybe Paul will wake up that Vin and Bella are running a mess!
I wonder what Paul thinks of Vin bringing in contractors at $200 an hour due to the inability of HR to hire knowledgeable IT personnel. Makes sense to get rid of someone making maybe $50 an hour and bringing in 2 or 3 to replace that person at $200 an hour. Way to go Paul.
