'They backtracked real fast': Data analyst laid off without notice, offered reinstatement 'at reduced pay' when things began falling apart
When given the opportunity, companies will always do what is best for them, and not for their employees.
Every. Single. Time. It's 'just business', they say. 'Nothing personal', they say… And you are left picking up the pieces. Getting laid off sucks, no matter how long you've been working at the company, but if there is one thing worse than simply getting laid off, it's getting laid off without notice. As shared by u/Lotus2016, they were fired, without notice, effective immediately. OP had been working for the company for a few years and was expecting to be laid off in a couple of months' time, so they felt completely blindsided when they were fired way before they were supposed to be.
Now, what the company was unaware of, was that nobody actually knew how to do OP's job, so they were totally stuck! What does one do, when stuck? They did what they had to… they sucked up to OP, begging them to come back, as they were struggling. But they were terrible at the 'sucking up' part because they offered OP way less money than they had been originally earning.
Sigh. When will companies ever learn? Scroll down to read what happened next. For more, here is a woman who accidentally got a check for $1,200 which she cashed after the company who accidentally sent it to her gave her the wrong information.
