Meta and Salesforce are looking to re-hire some workers they just laid off. It's putting those people in an awkward spot::Big Tech wants to bring back some of the workers it laid off. The decision might come down to how a company handled the layoffs.

For me it was this:

Salesforce execs, and Benioff in particular, have over the years encouraged workers to view their colleagues and the company itself as “Ohana,” a Hawaiian term referring to family.

Any company that tries to pull that type of psychological shit is just looking to take advantage of workers.
