I was really confident. Then I lost a job to AI. Then they hired me back a few months later after realizing that replacing half the support team with an AI was not working out.

How did your compensation change when you were rehired?

[–] [email protected] 47 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Rehired with all my previous tenure benefits with the added raise they would have given me had I been around when they gave out raises.

So your compensation effectively didn't change at all, if you'd have gotten the raise anyhow?

Damn.

I was in a very, very rough spot. Was mostly worth taking the offer. It sure beat wasting 13 years of obscure product knowledge at some new job for the less pay others were offering.

I hope you at least gave them a nice smug smile when you walked back in.

I got to make regular jokes about "being the new guy" and subtly shoot shade at the management team any chance I get.

Hopefully at least farts outside the CEO's office every time they walk by.

Yeah that's totally understandable. It's just so scummy that suits know they can fire people for some idiotic whim like the current "AI" craze, and then when it inevitably blows up in their faces they can rehire the folks they just fired and for no extra cost because they know people will be desperate. Small wonder they didn't cut your pay.
