#rehire

Like you never left.

All PTO
If 401k immediately vested employer contributions you get that back too.

Obviously wait until your severance is a month or so from being done since the hiring process is about 4-5 weeks from first interview to job offer on average. Some licensed positions are quicker since not everyone can apply vs anyone off the street like a teller.

Has anyone interviewed after a layoff? Was the process the same as external candidates or is there any difference in the interview process for those that were already with the company?

A significant portion of University of Kentucky dining and facilities workers laid off by Aramark have not been rehired by the new partner, Compass Group. By July 10, only 462 out of 926 affected employees had found new positions. Compass Group is reportedly prioritizing full-time hires, leaving many student and part-time workers in limbo. Additionally, UK employees who choose to remain with the university rather than join Compass Group will not be eligible for promotions. The university is still finalizing its contract with Compass Group, which began providing services in July.

A significant number of leaders now regret decisions to lay off employees due to AI implementation. Data indicates that 55% of employers who reduced staff for AI reasons now express regret. This is largely due to the realization that institutional knowledge cannot be fully automated. Companies like Ford have already rehired hundreds of engineers to address quality gaps. This trend suggests a broader corporate reevaluation of workforce strategies following initial AI-driven cuts.

Has anyone who was laid off from Citi and received a redundancy/severance package later rejoined the company?

I’m trying to understand whether there is a formal waiting period before someone can be rehired, particularly where the exit package included severance pay, payment in lieu of notice, or other redundancy compensation.

Does the restriction vary depending on whether the person returns as a permanent employee, contractor, or consultant? Also, is the waiting period counted from the last working day, the official termination date, or the end of the PILON period?

Any recent experience from the UK or EMEA would be helpful.

After being laid off, how much time needs to pass before you can reapply at GP? Without risking your severance.

Daimler Truck North America will recall 400 workers and hire an additional 200 at its Mount Holly, North Carolina facility by the end of 2026. This expansion is part of a plan to introduce a second shift at the Freightliner truck manufacturing plant.

Anyone had NetApp admit they made a mistake getting rid of you and asked you to come back to the same role as if you never left? Didn't happen to me, but curious of others had it happen?

If I put in notice in the US, do they walk me out immediately? If I don't put in notice, will that make me ineligible for rehire? Should I wait on notice to see if I am part of the next layoff? I'm a software developer going to a hardware company.

Just wondering if anyone has been re-hired after accepting the VRSP last year.

Several U.S. firms are rehiring employees previously replaced by AI. Ford rehired 350 veteran engineers after AI-driven quality inspections led to numerous recalls. Klarna rehired customer service staff after customer satisfaction declined. IBM found its AI chatbot could not handle complex HR issues, leading to increased hiring. These companies discovered human expertise, empathy, and judgment remain vital for critical tasks.

Just curious can you apply to AT&T after being surplussed? Or are the doors likely closed forever from this company. I feel like out off all of the candidates out there you would be best positioned to re-enter AT&T given how much specialized telecommunications knowledge you would have about fiber and wireless.

As the title states, will they start rehiring folks affected by the CPM last year? My guess is they'll wait a year so your tenure resets and you come back at a lower cost on their books.

What is the cooling off period for rehiring employees who were laid off in May?

Hello,

Could anyone going through the rehire process after last year CPM share their experience? Did you have to fill out the background check information before the offer or after the offer?
At what point in the process did HR communicate about severance repayment?

I am waiting for decision after interview and would like to know other experiences to preapre.

“At this time the company decision is that we are currently unable to rehire any employees that were impacted by the RIF. This could change in the future as we continue to review policy. If so, we will most certainly reach back out.”

Former manager and adjacent manager gave good feedback to HR. Hiring manager was going to make an offer and at the last minute this came through.

Was laid off over 1 year ago.
Found a opening or what I thought was an opening on Indeed. I applied for it, got the email confirmation from Indeed and the email from UHG HR advising to complete the UHG application on the company website. When I clicked the link to open the company website from their own email the job posting was “no longer available.” In the same exact day within a couple hours of my Indeed app.
Wtf?! I’m wondering if its because they realized I was a former employee (from my email address) and didnt want to rehire me.
I thought I left in good standing - I received recognitions while I was working there.

Any one else experienced anything like this?

Anyone ever see someone get laid off and was rehired after a certain amount of time when they decided to reapply?

Is there a cooling off period in citi to join back as perm after layoff?

Would you consider finding an internal role and staying or are you completely done with fidelity? What are some of the pros and cons? I’ve seen a lot of people who were laid off last round come back either full time or contract so just curious.

Consider reapplying to Intel because job market is tough

Just curious if anyone has insight - I was impacted on 3/31 but was contacted by Oracle for positions they are trying to fill for the VA. I submitted my application(s) and also have been networking within Oracle Health. It seemed positive, but things have gone "quiet" and I have received the "Dear John" rejects about my applications.

Any insight?

As a VP, I am required to give 30 days notice to keep RSU and be eligible for rehire. I currently work in controls (second line of defense) but will be joining another competitor bank as an WIM client Advisor.
The last thing I need is ~30 days of no pay due to being let go by WF soon after giving my 30 days notice. What are the chances I will be let go soon after giving 30 days notice?

Can former VSP recipient be eligible for rehire after 12 months?
