If a layoff were actually a real layoff, you could get your job back once business conditions improve.
Tech "layoffs" are something of a euphemism for terminating (rather than pausing) employment for business reasons.
- kelnos 2y agoThat seems unrealistic. Laid-off workers need to find a new job long before their former employer could hire them back.

Some businesses are seasonal, so it might make sense there as well.
