“At this time the company decision is that we are currently unable to rehire any employees that were impacted by the RIF. This could change in the future as we continue to review policy. If so, we will most certainly reach back out.”
Former manager and adjacent manager gave good feedback to HR. Hiring manager was going to make an offer and at the last minute this came through.
@dy probably for the same reason, I won't leave that toxic hellhole until I get an offer or get laid off. This economy su-ks and we all got bills to pay!
are you a dog? why would you go back to the place which kicked you out like that?
@af Laying off ICs to save managers. Insane. Which site?
@a3 thanks for sharing- though there were no discrepancies or issues. They laid off our team and only kept the manager, changing their title to an individual contributor. Recruiter told me this is a new company policy, not an individual do-not-hire.
