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?

I generally tend to attribute things like that to just corporate incompetence. People aren't communicating and someone thinks because people left they have to post the jobs. But it could be more diabolical, there have been reported accounts of companies posting jobs while reducing their workforce. The idea is to make it look like things are going great. The truly lousy part of it is that people who are desperately trying to find a job get caught up wasting their time applying for jobs the company has no intention of filling.

I hope incompetence as well! But not surprised about the more malicious intent

Are they bringing new people for less money? I’ve seen it happen.

Sad if true but would not be surprised

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Considering an offer to go from firm (4 YOE) to become a privacy/product counsel for a tech company (non-faang). One concern for me is the potential of a recession in late 22 into 23 with the fed rate hikes. My fear is if that happens, me being on the chopping block as new in house counsel. If I stayed at the firm, I feel reasonably secure as an associate of not being laid off due to the market. How do in house counsel positions typically fare during lay off cycles? Any experiences to share?
