"Forever layoffs" and other ways to dodge the WARN act

Corporate America back to its old tricks.

The obfuscating language is always telling. Just like calling a janitor a sanitation engineer is a fiction meant to obscure the job, "forever layoffs, micro firings" and such are meant to hide the real thing.

NEVER keep your layoff a secret. Just like you should discuss your paycheck, and your employer cannot legally stop you, you should discuss when your employer lets you go so everyone can know that the company is avoiding their legal responsibilities for unemployment and severance.

@r4 LOL !!!

Ot is accepting resumes from AI bots as long as they don’t request a salary.

@fp To maintain appearances.

Why are there so many job postings here https://www.naukri.com/opentext-jobs

So many secret layoffs here. You got to message someone on teams and find that them or their whole team is gone.

This is legit, but, short of a general strike, what's to be done about it?

Good watch. Nothing really new, but articulated well enough. Thanks for sharing.

Been in this industry forever. Worked lots of places. OT is the first time I've experienced 'stealth layoffs' where everyone involved just like, "nothing to see here, move along."

Don't really expect that to change, regardless of who the new CEO is. Too many clueless middle management, too much culture inertia.

Not a damned thing to be done about it but vote with your feet.
