so when this happens does this mean that if there is a opening in another market/city do you have to reapply as a new hire all over again?

depends. even if you are laid off, you can apply for another position if its within a certain percentage(greater or less) of what you already make.

you may not have to move to another city. just depends on what it available. for example all corp store just eliminated the Host position. but he can apply for a sales rep because of the hourly pay is with a reasonable percentage. those hosts have to be on that call on the 19th as well. just remember if you are re-hired immediately, you will not receive you severance package.

But if you rehired immediately you keep the future potential severance package. If you get the full severance and then get hired back months later you start fresh with it. I believe you keep your original date of hire for benefits purposes if you are rehired within about six months.

LOL! Thank God the Host position was eliminated. I feel that particular position was the most space wasting position in retail. What Sprint needs to do is raise the standards on the psychological survey people have to take online prior to interviewing in a retail store. Let the cream rise as the scrum sink.
