Wow just two weeks after laying off 15% of your staff!? [0] Those bodies are still warm.
Having worked for a similar company eager to hire after layoffs I wouldn't be surprised if you're hiring for roles of many people you just let go, people who haven't even gotten over the shock of layoffs to start applying for new positions yet.
Kind of undermines your leadership's claims of:
> "This is the first time in Course Hero’s 17 years that we have done a layoff of this size, and it’s not a decision we made lightly ... It follows careful deliberation with the leadership team about the moment we’re in."
I get that sometimes layoffs are a hard choice, but I think it's important for the HN community to realize what kind of company you are representing. I've got skills you could use, and am interested in a new role, but find this type of hiring practice repulsive and certainly would hope that there are consequences for so quickly reneging on such "deliberation".
