What is the point of laying people off due to restructuring if the company is just rehiring those roles two months later? We have now posted two roles that were previously filled by people who got laid off. It really shows a lack of strategy by leadership.
Don't you agree?

We went through this at my company recently, and the positions that magically reopened a few months later also came with a significant pay cut over what the previous employees were being paid. 20%+ decrease. A lot of people are desperate for work and willing to take a lower salary just to keep the paycheck coming in. Companies are taking advantage because, well, companies suck.

Market determines rates. Same as employees taking advantage of higher salaries in 2021.

Sometimes intentional to get rid of low performers and find replacements.

@Analytic Manager: Agreed. Happens all the time, though. Especially last year or two.

If something doesn't make sense for the long-term wellbeing of an organization (or society or anything), the explanation is usually short-term benefits (follow the $$)

Of course there are plenty of inept leaders, but one would expect The Shareholders to dispense with them (unless $$)

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
YOE ~8
Skill set : . Net full stack + Angular + Azure

Thanks

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job. I’m about to take a data analytics course to make an attempt to break into that field. I’m currently looking for a mentor to help guide me during this time. Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks

I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
