Also: hey, those pesky coders and other white collars got way too expensive, let’s lay them off in droves to make it the employer’s market and rehire some back, but on our terms and not theirs (cheaper, no perks, but they will be glad to land a job anyway).
Source: a little bird told me some companies do such rehiring, and for many H1B holders it is an offer they can’t refuse.
- lucidone 3y agoHad a friend laid off and saw his job posted not a month later (with the stereotypical #hiring LinkedIn corpojargon). Many employees make a big hubbub of the org being employee-centric, people driven, blah blah blah. I almost joined their org because of how my friend talked it up last year. Despicable.
- WesolyKubeczek 3y ago> Many employees make a big hubbub of the org being employee-centric, people driven, blah blah blah. It never is. If anything, tech corporations that have been hot startups two decades ago are shedding their larval teletubby skin and transform from sheltered colorful environments suited for men-children into... well, just your average run-of-the-mill ruthless capitalist businesses your boomer parents/grandparents know and loathe. The thing is, if they mention they are people-driven casually, they likely know the notion — you can expect some respect for employee rights (provided you do your own homework, can haggle like a used car salesperson, and can tell decision makers from HR personnel); if they emphasise it so much it reminds you of a cult, or if they don't mention it at all, but are instead brimming with descriptions of the company's grandeur, run — if you have anywhere to run these days.
