Do they get to renegotiate their job offers?
Exactly this.
All the people who got fired and offered to be rehired should agree to refuse unless their salary is doubled - if only because decent employers don't play with people's livelihoods like that, to teach them a lesson.
And if they take your offer, save your money because I wouldn't put it past them pulling this shit again
I definitely would! I’m a contractor, so that doesn’t apply to me, but if it did I would definitely renegotiate.

Quite a story. I had no idea that's what MSN looked like though. I think I have an aneurism now.
It’s… one of the worst sites I’ve ever come across. Everything about it is shit and suggests a lack of credibility, but I am constantly surprised by the number of times they have articles I initially wanted to read.
I refuse to use MSN as a source because it's never the original source. It's only a scraper that rebrands news as its own.
Most times you cut a contract for rev share to be on there. At least, that's what we did.
This. In other communities MSN in banned as a source because of this reason. They just scrape articles and surround it with ads.
Yeah that would make sense why I unintentionally oneself on it so often. I almost always hit back or close when I end up there (usually because I click on a link that is interesting to me without interrogating the URL very closely, bad opsec I know)
