Has anyone renegotiated salary for a new position after being laid off or do they force you to keep your last salary. The salary is definitely below market since I've been there a few years.

If you have been laid off, you are a new employee so you can negotiate a new salary even after being laid off for one day. If the company says that you have to accept your old salary that is below market for comparable jobs at the company, then it's probably illegal according to AB-2282.

Took me a little over a year to find a new job after the 2017 September layoffs, but new salary is 20% higher than it was at Oracle.... plus they have these things called "bonuses" they give out a few times a year...
Dude - let it go, oracle is history, don’t apply for any jobs there, seek greener pastures
Get multiple offers and let them compete. Otherwise, they will lowball.
It's been about a month since the layoff. I definitely don't want to come back at the same salary and
also return the severance. If I apply and get the job without a change of salary, I will not accept the job. I am concerned that I will need to report that I refused a job to the unemployment office and may lose benefits.
like someone said, if within a year, you may be able to keep some of the capital you've built as it relates to benefits and such as they will see still see you as an "employee"...after that first year, you are viewed as an outside employee and start over with a higher salary.
They are obviously going to fight you on the salary hike.
But if they want you enough then you should demand a raise to market rates. Otherwise just get a job somewhere else.
Why would you take a job below market rates??
I'm a rehire. AFAIK, if you have left Oracle for 1 year, and were marked as "eligible for rehire" by HR when you left, it will be fine to negotiate the salary.
Otherwise, it will be very difficult, although possible. I don't expect things will be different if you were laid off.
I've already signed the termination agreement so thought I would be a new hire and could get a better salary.
I tried that but it is a no-no as far as IDC goes. U will be Lucky if you save your job. If you don't get laid off, you can expect a hike only in 2021 in IDC. You may get stocks if you are pally with your boss.
