Imagine this situation. Say you were fired from a company a few years ago, then out of nowhere, that company reaches out to you, asking if you'd like to submit your resume for that same position you had been fired from years prior. Do you apply?

Seeing as how you have all the context for this, I think we should turn the question on you. Knowing all of the info that you do that we don’t, do you apply?

P.S. you could use a new job.

What's changed from the prior situation that led to the firing? New/different manager? I think it's very dependent on the circumstances that led to the firing, how long ago it occurred, and what's changed since then. It's also possible the recruiter hasn't connected the dots yet, but if/when your name and resume are advanced to the actual to hiring team at the firm they will recognize you from the past, no?

Of course

If the money's right.

Is my manager forcing me out?

In our 121 last we had a good discussion on creating a personal development plan, with the idea being I’d write down clear goals & action points to get from my current level to the next, and I’d provide weekly evidence of it. I prepped the doc accordingly, but instead of wanting to discuss it, he said I have 4 weeks to “turn things around” - without giving any new info on what I’ve done wrong - esp given I wrote my goals based on this same feedback from last week??
