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.

Go re-apply just to make them feel awkward about firing you lol

That right there is just wrong! I'd apply. Right there sitting at my desk. Then again, u must of done something to get "laid off".

wow... those motherfuckers waste NO time... ouch

To all the people saying they waste no time, of course they don't. You think they would just fire/lay someone off and then laze around and not try to get the position filled?

That sounds more like you were fired. If you were laid off its unlikely they'd be looking to fill the position at all, much less so soon.

Yeah, I have been "laid-off" before, too. I agree with some other comments, re-apply.

This reminds me of The Office, not gonna lie.

FYI that is called being fired not laid off
