Thread regarding Micron Technology Inc. layoffs

Have you or anyone you know been instructed to reapply for a job after being laid off?

I'm trying to see if somebody told me the truth or lied to me.

This may be true:
"There were quite a few employees overpaid for what they were doing and they were targeted / cut. If they come back, their pay will be a lot lower than what they were paid before."

Even if it is true, they also should have cut the managers that were hiring and overpaying for a given job. Firing the overpaid workers fixes the symptom but not root cause at the management level. The VPs need to get an excursion coordinator to help them do a D8 with the "five whys" to get to a root cause and implement some corrective actions, or they could just resign as they are the ones that got the company in the position that it is in today.

Out of curiosity, why do people complain about a company they work for? If it's horrible, just quit and move on. If Micron was as awful as some of you say, just where should one work?

People who were laid off were told they can reapply in the future. ie they're not blacklisted from working at Micron again like some prior rounds of layoffs were. There will still be a note about them being laid off in their file and can be interpreted in different ways depending on who's doing the hiring.
After seeing who was impacted from this round I'd be in favor of proceeding with interviews with an applicant who was laid off this year if I'm in a position to do hiring when the market recovers. There will always be many others who see a prior layoff as a black mark and toss their resume though.
If you're asking whether someone is saying they were told to apply immediately after being laid off, I'd say they either misinterpreted someone trying to let them down easy ("you can reapply but hiring is frozen") or made it up. If your laid off friend is making this claim they could be trying to save some face, in which case maybe you should leave them be. Being laid off is embarrassing even when it is luck of the draw.

Not necessarily instructed, but yes, I have applied for jobs after being laid off. Like any other job, you have re-apply when an opening becomes available. God helps those who help themselves, people have to apply, not the other way around.

I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question to some of you, but I'd really like to know.
