Thread regarding Follett layoffs

This is how much follett loves you

I copied this off of my Linkedin feed. They're advertising to hire NEW employees seasonally.
Distant hugs and kisses. Love and affection, TL

Excellent grammar is not required to write follett's lying text, "Raising our standards and reinventing excellence at every turn is what Follett stands for!" Preposition much?

Next, let's address the truthfulness of the claim. Has follett raised standards? Has follett reinvented excellence? No, and are you kidding, in that order.

Fill the pipeline full of prospective employees is a existential necessity for this soulless, sub-medicore shell of a company. Nice when company values, follett values have been exchanged for lies and hyperbole in pursuit of existential necessity.

They don't care.

Implied is, we're not technically capable to cancel advertising. We have stressed our staff by furlough and layoffs. We're in a period of great uncertainty. We won't take action to reassure our staff that we care about them. We won't take a simple step to inform people that we won't hire outside (at a lower rate of pay) and simply lay them off.
I understand annual advertising buys. I don't understand this company failing to see how ads like this impact their employees. It's tone deaf. It's mean. It underscores the fact that follett doesn't care. You're on your own.

Seasonal jobs are advertised year round regardless of if a location is hiring or not. Part of the effort to collect potential applicants to cold call when the location is actually hiring. It’s annoying a store can’t get them taken down.
