Benefits were excellent.
Pay scales were great.
Management was okay.
During the downturn, when companies were letting people go, they laid off a bunch of us. That was hard, but I could have swallowed it. But then I saw a job opening for Senior Developers in Canada for Affirm – soon after letting us go. Really?
If you have open positions coming up for similar roles, why not see if you have the talent already or if you can recycle that talent rather than letting people go and then hiring fresh talent?
Or is that a way to get cheaper talent?
