1. I was laid off on a Friday

and asked to return on the following Monday - as a contractor. Similar hourly rate. No benefits.

I did it, found another job and quit four weeks later. That company was out of business within 18 months.

I wonder if Musk is attempting to pull something similar.

2. I hope these workers realize that having been informed by their employer that they have been let go

Then the return is essentially a new offer for employment, and the terms and conditions are up to them, not up to Musk. If he wants them back bad enough, he will have to pony up.

[QED]

3. That happened to me...

Then the boss found out that the person I worked with was incompetent. When my clients were assigned to her they were very unhappy. I had to go back because I'd lose unemployment if I didn't - but I found another job within a month and quit.

4. I'd come back for a price. nt
