Today's local talk radio had callers who claim that companies mostly big corporations would rather hire new people than those that were laid off. Some hypothesize that it has to do with possible back pay and benefit reinstatement, making it cheaper to just get new workers. If this has happened to you or someone you know we actually know how to handle it. BLAST them on social media. Scream at the masses. Tell them that even though they fly their pride flags one month of the year they really and truly do not care. How many of the same corporations ran those little feel good Covid propaganda pretending to give a crap? I don't know, but what I do know is that if these guys who got screwed over by big corp. ask the government to step in and fix it we are all just going to be more screwed.

What is wrong with you people?
Why not just tell people "Learn to Code" too? This is the exact same attitude that leftist redditors would have. There's zero difference between here and reddit a lot of the time and you guys can't even see your own hubris... Such arrogrance.
What are you talking about? I don't want people to lose their livelihoods but I also don't think that anyone is owed a job. When you accept a job offer you are accepting the businesses expectations for that job. If you are not performing, goodbye. I have over 300 people that I am responsible for developing into a highly engaged and high performing team. When there is someone on the team that isn't doing their part to grow with us, than they are holding the team back. I expect everyone to meet the performance expectations and if they are not, to be actively engaged in their improvement plan.
Now that you know where I stand as far as that goes, I also have the unfortunate responsibility to let people go who do not want to get onboard. It is a time consuming and sometimes year long-plus process. If I was forced to lay people off, I would be laying those people off in a heartbeat.
When business picked up, I would NOT be bringing them back on. You actually behaved like a redditor who let their emotions cloud their ability to accept that their could be a logical explanation that has nothing to do with trying to victimize anyone.
