It looks like they have posted a ton of HR jobs. The strategy appears to layoff everyone then have them all reapply.

@b4 the smoke and mirrors are legal deniability. They will never not do them.
Funny how they do this silly process so those left are forced to spend lots and lots of time interviewing and re-hiring people instead of moving the company forward. Just pick who you want and lay off the rest. Stop this smoke and mirrors act.
@a2 laid of remote positions in which area, do you know? U Learn, Talent, and recruiting got gutted... not sure of any other areas. Oh and HR did too.
If you look, most of the jobs posted are for in person in Philly... Hiring Virtual roles for leadership is going to be a thing of the past. It will either be Philly (especially HR jobs) or in a city where there is still a site operating.
@ak ah yes, I recall they were a copy/paste of the former jobs but with new titles. Some didn’t even make sense and when we asked leaders, they couldn’t explain. Now I know it’s because it was a sham. They only look outside their friends if their friend didn’t want the role which was rare.
Iv seen job postings that were over 2 years old. Most are just bs so they can hire a friend internally or the job never existed. I had to interview 15 roles before I landed one, took 2 years. And this was when times were "good". Because most if not all were complete bs. This is reality. Now it's even worse. Good luck with that nonsense. An recruiters who dont even respond. Have fun.
Last year my broader team laid off higher salaries FTEs and hired JR people that cost less. The roles werent fake or earmarked.
The company is trying to reduce overhead. Some teams might have joba earmarked or have their laid off people re-apply for fewer rolls. I wouldnt just give up applying if you were interested in a position. Competition will be fierce, but it is everywhere right now.
Those jobs are earmarked. Literally no sense in applying. I got tricked by some of those last year after division layoffs. Got invited to interview and then it turned out I was just a check the box interview so they could hire their predetermined person and make it appear as though they’d interviewed a variety of candidates.
This is what they did last year. Just know those roles are earmarked already for who the leaders want which is often their unqualified bootlickers or best friends. Not the most qualified. Comcast is where you go if you want to become a VP but stopped at a middle school education. Kiss up and say yes to want a leader wants to hear, and you’ll be promoted. That’s a large part of why we’re here. You can’t hire a fish to fly like a bird then wonder why it’s failing.
They also fired hundreds of people, only to reopen a dozen roles, so not rehiring everyone
Not to be negative but tbh most those job posts are smoking mirrors. Its a strategy to retain existing employees and reduce panic. In other words those aren't even real openings in most cases. Also they laid off a bunch of remote positions and most of those are on site. I seen them too. Its all bs.
