Honestly, I do respect the decision to publicly declare that the laid off employees were very good. I’ve done job searching while laid off and it does suck the suspicion through which you’re viewed by interviewers when they ask about it
When I did hiring our HR had some system that did this. It fucking sucked. It passed through so many shit candidates. I eventually ended up just going straight to the discard pile when I had to review applications.
I just don’t get all this shit. I’m a programmer and for years at my last job I did most of the interviewing for candidates and had the final say-so for whether or not we hired somebody. I could tell in a 15 minute phone call whether somebody knew what they were doing or not and could make a positive contribution to the project.
