If you’re a contractor and they offer to roll you to a full time job, don’t do it. Comcast has a rule that they never tell new hires about. If you’re a full time employee and you leave for ANY reason, you’re not allowed to come back as a contractor for 3 years! It doesn’t matter if your performance was good or not, you can’t come back into a contracting job for 3 years! If you stay a contractor the rule doesn’t apply, and if you were full time and were laid off you can still interview for other full time jobs, but someone decided to implement this moronic rule that makes becoming a full time employee really risky in environment like Comcast that is constantly reorganizing.
