seldo,

"We laid off 7,000 people and now we want to hire 3,300 people because we could not for the life of us figure out how to do a reorg" is a really weird flex, Salesforce. https://www.linkedin.com/news/story/salesforce-wants-to-rehire-staff-5772244/

@seldo @shyra As someone who has been diagnosed with PTSD caused by an out-of-the-blue layoff last November (literally days before we were told by our SVP that our department was "fine" and "secure" with our jobs; 95% of the layoffs were from our department), all I can say is F*** Salesforce and any company that does this.

And to even try to play it off as humor with the whole boomerang stuff. OMG, why?!?

Lay off expensive, hire cheap.

@seldo likely they will save a lot of money by getting rid of people who had earned benefits pay raises & vacation time etc

@seldo basically we laid off a bunch of people for a short term stock gain, made some money, and now we've got to hire people back so we can do it again next time. 🤦‍♂️

@seldo alternatively they did that to preempt tenure-based benefits. Fire the old timers and bring in new folks.

@seldo Pretty sure 90% of being a senior leader is just looking around and seeing what the other cool kids are doing. It's middle school cafeteria rules basically...

@seldo I think my company is gonna end up doing this

@seldo "Please give us the opportunity to lay you off again"

@seldo one that basically every medium to large tech company has been doing. layoff thousands then start hiring again aggressively. 🤔

seldo,

@r343l It's almost as if it was all with some ulterior motive, like depressing salary growth and labor influence.

@seldo @r343l Except they’re not called layoffs, they’re called eliminated positions. Your principal-level position has been eliminated, but feel free to apply to our open positions. Oh, no principal openings? Hmm. Anyway! Best of luck!
