You’d have to be in a tight spot to be fired and replaced to accept being rehired even at the same salary, never mind a smaller salary. I feel bad for these people. Hopefully they work a bit slower in proportion to the reduced pay.
This is just coming out of a prediction from a Forrester Research report of predictions for next year. It’s not actually showing they’re hiring people back at lower pay.
I would imagine they are producing garbage that works today but will gum up the works in the future when they try to change it. At least for the engineers. For everyone, i would assume the accuracy of their work will be shaky at best.
Welcome to the current economy.
