I got laid off and the recruiter said, “We’ll keep you in mind for future roles.” I’ve heard that line so many times, it feels meaningless. Does anyone actually ever get re-hired that way?

It was a while ago, but I have had recruiters reach back out after the fact to tell me about a role they thought I’d be a good fit for. It’s in everyone's best interest to build relationships, even though it feels like that doesn’t happen as much anymore.

I have also heard that line many times. I never have gotten a call back later about any other roles. I think they just say that to be polite.

I personally never have but I’ve known people who’ve used connections in previously failed interviews to help get jobs. They’ve always had to be the ones to reach out first though, the job never does.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
