Ya. Just because the company would like for people to come back, doesn't mean they have the right to expect them to. The same way that the company chooses to stop paying people, people choose that maybe they'd like to do something else.

Not to mention they've created a huge amount of bad will. Got fired from the trains because "down sizing", or maybe dad did?

Now they're like, "hey come work on the railways" - and the answer is "fool me once, shame on me..."

Maybe it's not just money, maybe it's not just shitty work conditions, maybe people notice when you treat employees like commodities and choose not to become a commodity.
