RE: PD Hiring Freeze! ...ceogiven your past posting, I'ld say you are no longer in the industry, and your sources are very poor. Yes, a hiring freeze may be in effect - for NEW positions, but not for replacement positions. You of all people must understand that if someone quits or is fired, that position must be filled. Then again, in your case, I doubt you were deemed important enough to replace. What happened anyway, IPL let you go and PD refused to hire you?
