Meta and Salesforce are looking to re-hire some workers they just laid off. It’s putting those people in an awkward spot::Big Tech wants to bring back some of the workers it laid off. The decision might come down to how a company handled the layoffs.

      I think this is the answer. Time for the companies to experience the bad side of fire and rehire.

    Require big extras plus signing bonus to cover the time and frustration of being laid off.

    Then spend your free time interviewing with other companies that better match your expectations

    If you rejoin either of these companies after they already fired you, you get what you deserve.

    Not much longer we’re going to have to bring a lawyer to interviews to make sure we get paid our worth and not get one pulled over our heads.

      I would accept it back and just not give a shit while I work on skills I want to improve. On the job training basically.

    Make sure they double your salary, and if they don’t give you an ironclad contract, keep looking for other jobs. Screw those guys.

    If they no longer wanted you because investors told them to get rid of you, why would they care about you if you rejoined?

      If you’re not desperate for a job, and found it at least tolerable before, then I’d say ask for an outrageous salary increase. Worst-case, you stay at your new job, best case you go back to your old job but making more money.

        Meh, with that higher pay you’ll be first on the chopping block the next time investors get antsy anyway. Better to just stick with the new place.
