...I'm not? "trying to rehire workers they let go" is missing the word "all". Perhaps -you- read that particular qualifier into it, but it's just as valid to understand it, as it was intended, to imply "some", especially since the existence of -any- rehired employee refutes the statement it was in response to.
I assume you got terrified when you heard, say, "Jeffrey Dahmer ate people", and started to question your own existence since obviously if he ate ALL the people you couldn't be here?
