Today, I was laid off from my job as a manager. After cleaning out my office, I began clearing my computer. I received an email from HR announcing a job position that opened up. Too bad it was for my job. FML

I'd reapply for the position just to mess with them.

Actually, if you were "laid off" legitimately, you have the right to that job. Now, are you sure you were laid off, or were you really fired? If you were laid off, I'll bet the new job is at a lower pay grade so they can get someone to do your job more cheaply. Corporate America sucks.

Oh that's so sad OP! I hope you find a better job!

I hope OP starts their own business so he/she never has to worry about this happening again. Working for someone else is highly overrated.
