You're Fired. Now Apply For Your Own Job
The Journal News, a newspaper in Westchester County, New York, told nearly 300 editorial and advertising employees that they'd have to reapply for their own jobs at the paper and hope to be rehired, ABCNews.com reports. picked by suebe 3 months ago

I lived in the lower Hudson valley for 32 years and never heard of this paper.

I guess that's part of their problem.

Probably. I've seen it since I lived in Westchester. I never buy it.

I can see the job interview. "And do you have any references?" "Well I've worked for YOU the last 10 years!"

While I don't agree with the practice, this really isn't as unusual as it sounds. I worked for a company that acquired another organization and part of that merger meant that some people would have to re-apply for their jobs. The difference being that they were (at least temporarily) employed at the time they had to interview.

Last place I was at tried this with some members of staff and it didn't wash.

This is not the way to treat people and they showed this by taking the redundancy payment and going to other companies.

That company doesn't, as such, exist any more.

There's a lesson there for anyone who cares to read it.
