    Former boss reached out to me last week to gauge my interest in returning to a place I worked at years ago.

    He was the reason I left so I’m not sure how I feel. I gave them an exorbitant price tag for my return and some other conditions and let’s see what they say.

      Been there, done that, good money, killed my mental health and relationships.

      I’m not saying don’t do it, just make sure you can recognise the symptoms when it starts affecting other areas of your life.

        100%

        Last time I left I had enough of the boss and his ways. That was discussed yesterday (not with him, but with my old colleagues that are still there). Apparently he’s changed a bit but probably not enough.

        I remind myself why I left in the first place and that money ain’t everything.

            After like 36 hours of considering, you’re right. I’d hate it very quickly and regret the decision.
