meh. I’m an empath. I can’t help but feel for people who are put in shitty situations through no fault of their own.

Why would anyone go back, though? There'd better be incentives and guarantees or you can consider my previously (incorrectly) assumed useless arse gone. No one should be accidentally or prematurely fired. That's clown shite.

You've never had a real job, have you?

Just so you understand this happens in America all the time.

I worked for a contractor inside a facility, that facilities practice was to lay off entire contract departments at the end of each year. It happened like clockwork, at the end of the year when their budget went dry, then came the layoffs. Hundreds of people each year laid off for up to 4 months. Once January 1st came around, they would hire them back or replace them with new hires. Sure better budgeting practices would have worked but it wasn’t the hand they were dealt.

The US budget has been dry for decades yet we have been spending so now it’s finally time to cut. Unfortunate for those being cut as it’s, most of the time, not their fault but that’s business. Better budgeting practices are coming to the US so it’s gonna hurt some workers but provide relief for other Americans.

You mean like the hundreds of millions of Americans—many of them blue collar working people—who have had a significant chunk of the the money they worked for hard all their lives taken from them by the government and wasted?

There are two sides to this and two groups of people affected, not just one.

As others have pointed out, this exact thing is not unheard of or even really unusual in the business world.

Seems like whatever MBA advises an executive to fire and rehire essential employees is drawing an unearned salary.

Although it is something that Musk does. That's why Trump enlisted him. Because making deep and fast cuts is how he operates.

Trump enlisted him because he gave Trump a quarter of a billion dollars to.

Firing almost 200 people and then realizing so quickly that you shouldn’t have done that (that means it should have been obvious from the start) is a clown show. Just because some clowns do that dumb shite in private industry doesn’t make it less of a clown show.

Is this what your ilk calls a melt?

Tbh, I knew this thread would get a significant portion of this board riled up. I wanted to watch the carnage, which isn’t very virtuous.

This has been quietly happening since the first mass firings happened. 180 is just the largest number at one time to this point.

That's the problem with how poorly this was executed.

You don’t know why they were specifically fired for.

Pssst......neither does DOGE.
