Plant manager sending out a site wide email saying that we're doing awesome, and we're desperately hiring so refer all your friends. One month after layoffs were announced, and those to be layed off still had a month to go.

I don't know where you're from, but some countries/areas have laws against fire and rehire, it's a disgusting practice.

seen it happen before but what they do is 'abolish' the role, and introduce a new role with a new name, oddly similar job description (they change it enough to count as a new role) and rehire people on contract where the previous roles were permanent
