The agency where I work has. But it’s in a small market. I don’t find it weird to work with my old colleagues at all - I know and trust the people they rehired. Can’t speak for them though.
We brought back furloughed employees, but they were very intentionally furloughed instead of laid off, because cash flow permitting, we wanted to hire them back. And everyone involved was made fully aware of this.
So bringing them back wasn't awkward, but I did have convos to ensure we were cool anyway.
I had a friend who went through this.
She was laid off with covid, she freelanced for them, got re-hired, got laid off again, freelanced again, got hired a 3rd time and she took it but only until she found something else since she didnt trust the company anymore.
That is just cruel.
Nope I’ve been at companies that did this (not at McCann) previously. Most of the folks we hired back were very happy to come back .
Just make sure all is clear with HR - laid off employees can have covid special benefits so you just want to clear that up.
During covid it’s probably fine. Normal time, the trust is broken, job security gone and it won’t last it’ll just be a stepping stone on the way out the door on their term this time.
Pro
I’ve had team members laid off twice because of the same client.
Normally, maybe. During covid, go for it!!
But, don’t offer me less $$
