Would you return to your old company?

[mikee]

i returned to my present employer after a 6 year break
went back a wiser man ,going else where gives you a different perspective on it ,the other ways ,contacts etc work well

it's up to you though ultimately

Kind of done it in that I'm now effectively a contractor where I'd previously worked (a bit complicated to explain) - If my previous company were to offer me a position, I would seriously consider it. Other half also went back to her previous employer on a rolling three month contract, after an another job didn't work out. If they'd offered her a permanent role she would have most likely accepted it.

One important question to ask yourself is:

You left the original company for a reason. What has changed such that the reasons you left it are no longer an issue?

I left my company 5 years ago for more money +less commuting. That company was bought out and merged with another. Never really felt comfortable there, as it was very restrictive re: hours and idle time, so I'm now back at the place I had been with a decent pay raise......and I'm surfing Retrobike from work as I type.

Better the devil you know than the devil you dont :roll:

Looks like I will be returning back to my old company shortly........
( after 5 months out of work)
To the newer, different, flagship showroom/branch

It beats having to go through the whole interview process again.

Time will tell

Gc

iv'e done it will never do it again, was a smaller family run company i was with, when they asked me back they were full of promises but all the reasons i left in the first place just came back.in reality nothing had changed so after a year of abuse and bullying
i left (in a blaze of glory i might add while leaving my c*nt of a boss in tears!!)im now out that industry altogether because of my experiance there and all the better for it.
