Hiring and layoffs are not mutually exclusive. Especially for a huge company with many subsidiaries.

So now that they’ve mass fired for RTO compliance regardless of an employees merits and contributions- will they need to rehire all those roles?

I haven't heard its for RTO. I heard it cutting any and all bench plus others. They cut the bench if you sit for a month or so with no project, but then have to hire for that same talent later when a project comes up and no one is available.

Didn’t they just post positive Q3 growth…?

By continuing to cut the bottom out from under them.

Did an interview yesterday that was supposed to be behavioral, but turned out to be more like the case interviews I did in undergrad. I think I showed off my business knowledge, but he kept harping on my lack of an official framework (vs me saying "I'd explore it from different stakeholder perspectives: customer, line employee, management"); pretty sure he considered it a failure.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
