They did these layoffs. Reposted the same positions "looking for fresh talent".
Everyone knows what a mess this company is to work at and won't touch these jobs so they just sit empty. Why would anyone want a position for less pay than the brick building a block away offers, no work from home, reduced education reimbursement, no in house training ...all with the high risk atmosphere of layoffs month-to-month.
How do you sell that to a prospective employee in an interview? Or turn the table, maybe management could ask people who apply for the Sales team positions how they would sell their self on it.
