why should anyone work for CX again? they F**ed u on contract, fired at will, and now every airline hiring they really think anyone will return? this is how not to run biz 101. if anyone starts an airline just do opposite of CX and success is guranteed
overheard via rumor mill they are offering 2mth on 1mth off type of contract to attract.. but i highly doubt it.

Absurd statement. CX and Swire are well known to handle political issues very carefully and pragmatically, what transpired in 2019 was also the fault of the PRC in expecting absolute kowtowism from all companies doing business with China. To blame CX for the PRC's overreaction is nothing but victim-blaming.

Yep, it's all fake. Be happy, and stay angry, makes life very nice. Or maybe, for a better future, revert your anger to the party deserving your anger.
Managing is assuming something is predictable, following some rules, which are (more or less) stable over a long time. The only stable thing we see from China/HK government is just chaos and panic handling, the opposite of "supported by science" (or even logic), a continuous line of "doing the wrong things" and "doing the things wrong". Difficult to blame CX for that, except, they did not throw in the towel and closed shop.

Oh, and in case you didn't notice, the staff shortage (especially for jobs requiring dedicated qualifications and/or security clearings) is a world-wide issue. So, just dream on in your anger (learn to direct your anger towards those causing the issues, we all know who these are).

So, it's not CX's fault ?

Airline staff layoffs happened all over the world. Not to say, have a look at the mess at the airports, especially in Europe, where staff were laid off at a large scale and now having difficulties to rehire (and get security clearings, which can easily take 3 months).

I think this is a global problem that won't easily be solved. Even the hospitality industry has its own labor issues. I think a lot of former employees will have trouble going back to an industry that has an uncertain future. People seem to forget that the pandemic isn't over. Considering how COVID rules and border closures can change so quickly, why risk it? Can anyone here blame anyone for wanting job security?
