 In this episode of "Talent Takeover Unfiltered," Brianna Rooney and Taylor Bradley tackle a controversial topic: layoffs and rehires in the corporate world. The dynamic duo dives into the phenomenon of companies conducting mass layoffs only to post similar positions for lower salaries shortly thereafter.

Brianna and Taylor kick things off by discussing their experiences with layoffs and how they've witnessed this pattern in the industry over the years. They emphasize the importance of open conversations and transparent communication when it comes to salaries and layoffs. Brianna highlights the need for individuals to understand their worth and salary expectations realistically.

The hosts delve into the recent example of Meta (formerly Facebook), a tech giant that went through a significant round of layoffs. Recruiters who were laid off were dismayed to see their positions posted at lower salaries. Taylor and Brianna explore the reasons behind such actions by large corporations and the potential motivations, including salary inflation and the need for salary adjustments.

They stress the significance of a culture reset in organizations during times of layoffs. Smaller startups may offer a more stable and supportive work environment, while large companies may face challenges in maintaining their inflated salary structures.

Brianna and Taylor also discuss the trend of tech giants hoarding AI engineers and the unsustainable salaries they offer. They caution against chasing inflated salaries and emphasize the importance of considering company culture and stability when making career decisions.

In the second half of the episode, the hosts offer practical advice for individuals who find themselves in a situation where their previous company is rehiring for their former position. They recommend reaching out for a conversation, requesting references, and handling the situation with grace and professionalism.

The episode concludes with a reminder that being laid off does not reflect an individual's worth, and it's essential to maintain professionalism and explore all options when faced with the possibility of returning to a former employer at a different compensation level.
