For sure, and I see your point. However, it would be reassuring if there was an investigative body that could look into these kinds of situations. Given enough reports and complaints they would be authorized to look into the business practices of said organization.
I mean, firing somebody because you can't afford to keep them, then hiring somebody else that knows someone is pretty unethical. That is essentially why I was fired. My performance reviews were outstanding, and I never faced any discipline or even had a "talk" with my employer about my performance/conduct. Hell, I received a significant raise 3 months before my dismissal.
If you terminate a position because you can't fit it into the budget, you shouldn't be able to reinstate that position within 3 months. Especially only 4 months into a fiscal year.
If I'm unsuitable for the position, let me go for that reason. If you can't justify it, you shouldn't be able to upend someone's life because you want to work with your buddy. The fact an employer can orchestrate this completely legally is disturbing.
As Ducay said, this is probably more gear grinder than anything given what's available. It's still disappointing that while they aren't necessarily protected by these actions, employers are not held accountable.
Thanks for your input and advice, though!
