"Ford rehires 350 engineers after AI fails to preserve expertise or train juniors" In order to rehire someone they must laid off or fired? You don't rehire new

  Farther down it clarifies that only some of them were former employees, and others were poached from other companies: >Over the last three years, Ford says it has hired 350 veteran engineers, many of them former employees and others from suppliers And not all former employees were laid off. Senior 'greybeards' have many job opportunities elsewhere and often leave for better offers.

    > many of them former employees > And not all former employees were laid off. Thanks for confirming that the article does say that Ford did, indeed, fire and rehire some employees.

      The article does not say that any of the former employees had been fired. You just want to believe in the narrative that companies who lay people off for AI will regret it. Narratives are dumb.

        I genuinely don't care about any of this. I'm just reading what's written: > And not all former employees were laid off. To me, this is very clearly saying that SOME were former employees that were laid off, just not ALL were.

          That's just you misreading the comment. That quote is not from the article.
