I can’t imagine anyone that has decent prospects would agree to go back to Tesla after getting canned with those kinds of wild swings in decision making.

Why would anyone go back for less?
It’s a common practice for companies to lay off high priced employees and then post those jobs for a lower amount. Why would they go back? If they’re smart they won’t. But some people need a job—at least until they can find another job.
It’s a bad practice either way, because these employees won’t ever feel their job is secure again, and that makes them care less about how the company does… as it should.
It blew me away when I met these people. These real “keep your head down” folks.
When my company laid people off, and then did the shitty thing of rehire them back at a freelancing level, one gal cried tears of happiness that she was given another chance.
I just dont understand it. Like going back to your abuser.
Did they not get severance?
I highly doubt these are generic wage slaves, I am would assume they can get jobs else where?
If they can’t negotiate a fat raise under these circumstances, I am not really sure these people can negotiate at all lol
You’d be surprised how many people lack negotiation skills. They think whatever is offered is what they get. I’ve coached many coworkers on how to play hardball with a smile.
chad… good. plebs helping plebs fuck daddy :D
Damn right. I love my company, but we have the money to pay well. I don’t want anyone working with me who feels like they are underpaid. We moved offices and it became a much longer commute for one of our juniors. I kept harassing my manger to give him a bump for the effort. He wouldn’t have taken the job with that commute, so we had to sweeten it for him. My manager said “his review is 6 months away” and I said “it’s not a raise, it’s for the inconvenience to his life.” Got him 10%—and got none of the credit, haha. But that’s okay, I feel good.
My brother in business, I see you.
Once had to ask why the only woman our team was making significantly less. Got a shrug back from the HR director, a woman. I couldn’t believe that I had to fight her to bring compensation in line.
It’s not JUST the billionaires that are the problem. It’s really all the people that need to feel they’re somehow above others.
Depends on their prospects.
For example right this moment, if my employer pulled this on me with a 10% pay cut, it’s probably still better than my prospects in the open market at this moment. I would normally have a pretty strong network of connections, but at the moment they are all in hiring freezes, so I’d probably have to take a huge pay cut to find a job.
But you would be sure I’d be heavily watching my chances and leave as soon as I had a competitive offer on the table.
