Security News > 2023 > April > Hacking the Layoff Process

Bob Paddock April 28, 2023 3:32 PM. At a past company I worked at the company had its first ever mass layoff of 28 people.

As we were waiting for the government paper pushers to come in, we figured out that the common denominator between us all was, that we had all used the companies health insurance sometime in the last few years.

Also several young ladies that could have the possibility of filing for future maternity benefits were in the group.

Those that had already filed for such benefits were in the layoff group.

HR told one of them "There goes another $10,000!" when the benefit was requested; It was many years ago for that $10k price.

Not sure how to hack any of that?It is clear that HR and Corps are not our friends.
