Rehires are considered an untapped source of talent for organizations. Data suggests that today's boomerang employees typically return to their previous employers re-energized and ready to renegotiate their terms.
Some workers are asserting they have disabilities that necessitate they work from home full-time; others are signing petitions begging companies to "stop treating [employees] like school kids who need to be told when to be where."
"I get nervous when employers are using AI in the hiring process. You may not realize all the things you need to be thinking about. Yes, it is very dangerous."
"If it's an 8-to-5 job, what are they supposed to do if someone's at the door, or there's a delivery person, or a kid, or some other issue that they need to deal with?" said David Barron, a Cozen O'Connor member.
