Today, I received an email from a temp agency trying to hire me. Surprisingly, it was the same job I was just laid off from after two years of great employment. They were trying to hire me at half my original salary. FML

wouldn't that be a bit illegal? firing you just to pay you less? it is kinda indirect but still.

Take your job back, just work half as much and see what you can get away with.

**** that shit. Collect for awhile and meantime...Bring this before a judge! I know some company's are not allowed to do that as it is part of a document you sign.

Check labour laws - Depends on your country, but in most this would be considered illegal. If you were retrenched, you have to be the 1st person approached if your job becomes available again, and at the same comparable rate.

Ouch, I am not sure if it is illegal, that may be a law that falls under the state opposed to the fed. However, it is definitely in poor form. I hope you told them to **** themselves to death.

If you're in the States, you can draw unemployment at half your pay, right? They're wanting to pay you half for working just as hard, hell, let them pay you half to look for decent work, instead.
