OP - I’m interested in your story

I doubt there are going to be many cases like that. I only know about people who have been fired for misbehavior toward client accounts, or breaking firm policy (lying on expense reports, repeated unwanted sexual advances, bringing the dog into the office repeatedly even after being told not to anymore).

One of my senior managers is a boomerang and told me she was laid off when she was 7 months pregnant about 10 years ago. I think she was a senior or manager. She was in a specific group and everybody was laid off. It wasn’t performance based.

Would you work at your company again if you were laid off?

I was recently (in April) fired from a good nursing position that I was at for 5 years.

Is this something I should even consider? I miss my patients and some of my coworkers and the pay is better, but I don't feel like I would really be welcome to come back.
