Why do you want to go back?

like

I miss working with people, and I am really unenergized about every topic/meeting. My passion is safety and I’m willing to take a “lower” role if it means I am do what I love. I think what’s holding me back is the potential judgement of others - which is stupid

like

Nothing wrong with reaching out and finding out if it’s a viable option.

Is your prior company willing to entertain having you come back?

I think so. I left on good terms and my former boss hasn’t de-friended me on Instagram haha. My previous role wasn’t backfilled, I was the only one in the role in the company which is okay bc I would like to pivot into safety anyway.

I’m such a huge advocate for doing what you love vs. taking a pay increase - I’ve left a job previously for another that blew my pay out of the water & was a more prestigious position that I thought would take my career to the next level. I wound up absolutely hating it & tried to stick it out but it ruined my mental & physical health & put me in rocky personal relationships, too,

Do yourself the favor & do what you love & what will make you happy. You deserve it. ❤️

I left my job in June and have the same feelings. Going back to my old job in September 🎉
