Pros
"Sub" pay for being RIFed is decent.
Cons
Redeployment services are lip service only. We were told that we would work with someone 1:1 who would be searching job openings, reaching out to recruiters and hiring managers to advocate for us. Absolutely NONE of that happened. The only person doing that was me. I had one 30 minute call with a redeployment person who quickly gave me feedback on my resume. She never answered any follow-up emails and only sent me some cut and pasted communications. Redeployment is designed to save the company money if they can fit you in somewhere else rather than hire someone new. That begs the question why I (50s white woman) lost my job at the same moment they hired a younger white dude to do the same exact job on my team.
