# Laid Off in March. Now HR Won't 'Deal With Such People.'

**[TRUE STORY]** — by Finance candidate · via Times Now

A finance candidate laid off in March and interviewing ever since shared the recruiter's reply that stopped the conversation cold: “We don't deal with such people who got laid off.” The poster, u/rootshoww, wrote that he didn't know how to respond and felt “kinda discouraged” — he has EMIs to pay. Commenters noted the recruiter seemed unable to tell the difference between a layoff and a firing.
