I left my old job the end of January (due to compensation) and hate my new job. I don’t sleep and am constantly stressed. I have been interviewing since May, but I can’t seem to find a good fit that has an insurance Plan that fits my needs. I am thinking about reaching out to my old job (very small and tight knit) to see if there’s a position available for me still. They told me there would be when I left…what is the best way to go about this?

I would say absolutely reach out. My firm is always willing to consider welcoming back solid team members who just wanted to try something else. It amazing not to have to train a “new” hire. The worst they can say is “no thanks” and best case, you’re both relieved!

What do you think is the best way to go about this? How would you phrase it?

I had to go through a similar choice but it didn’t work out for me because they ended up filling the role right after. I say reach out right away. Curious if it works out for you - keep me posted!

Depending on how you left the place, perhaps the door is still open maybe. It happens all the time so why not check it out vs. not checking it out and wondering? The worst they will say is no, can’t do and that is not the end of the world

Im in a similar boat, except my old shop didn’t pay me as well as I’m paid now and couldn’t come close. Imo tho, you should reach out and make it known, my guess is they’d take you back

My spot feels vindicated when people come back. There may be rules about how much more they can pay you than you were making based on how long ago you left.

I've never worked on anything for TikTok and hope I never have to. TikTok is from hell. I was on it one time for about 10 minutes and could feel myself becoming mentally unwell in just those 10 minutes. The human brain is not designed to deal with the sheer amount of sensory overload that app gives you. I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
