Correct, and the management is immoral and lacking in real solutions to their
finance problems. Seek a new employer, this stop gap won't solve the

Apparently you live in a state with no employee protections. In MA you can't
do that, when you layoff a position you're saying "we don't need this position
anymore". You can't turn right around and say you do actually need that
position. If you do the former employee is eligible for
