i recently left my job for a different job for more $$$$ and i thought it was going to be a better job, well it turned out i liked the job but the managers are *******S!!!! so i went back to the old job, well i get back and i went from full time to part time, wtf... so i %%%%% my boss out and i was like wtf, so he is well i will try to get you full time... BS, so now he doesn't know if he will be able to get me full time..... total BS, i worked my *** off for these people and they just **** on my!!!! now i have to try to make it by these next two weeks, cause my boss is having an ego trip!!!!

has this happened to you guys before???

btw, i'm the assistant manager!!!

wayout1 · 10-06-2005, 06:35 PM

Cant say that exact situation has happend but I left a company because they were treating me like a piece of gear not an valued employee and paid like crap. 3 years later they started calling me to hire me back as a freelancer at 8 times my old pay rate. Vindication?

The catch here is: YOU left them. They dont have to hire you back at all. They could see it as "oh he's only here until he finds a better offer." The loyalty factor works both ways.

finch20th · 10-06-2005, 06:55 PM

hey i guess i should say that, i have worked there for 3 years, have ran the store, BY MYSELF FOR WEEKS ON END, open to close JUST ME!!!! all day!!! i'm like a member of my bosses family, and we were like best buddies... i know it sucks that i left and i gave them PLENTY of time to make me an offer to stay, but the owner of the store feels that i'm allready over paid!!! so i didn't exspect any more $$$$....

+1. They have no idea how long you'll be around now. Why should they invest in you?

Besides, Dairy Queen will be closing for the season soon. You're going to be laid off anyway.

perhaps hey can hire someone who will work for less or equal money that hasnt quit on them...you probably pissed them off when you left....just my thoughts

IE: payback time

Yes loyalty is a major factor here. I own a business and we do hire people back when they find that they are not happy with their new job. But they usually get worse hours and there is a feeling that they are just going to leave again. The grass is always greener thing. I mean after all we feel we need to be loyal to the employees who stick it out with us, they get the best hours.

I've been telling him that too! Roger is pissed that you left him so he's screwing you over, like you did to him. Plus they'll never pay you more, you make almost as much as Roger anyways.

wayout1 · 10-07-2005, 04:08 PM

you really have to watch out when leaving an employer - be careful what bridge you burn as you may have to cross it again on the way back. Sometimes the best way to go backwards is to move forwards and show that you really are the most valuable employee they need.

finch20th · 10-07-2005, 05:54 PM

i was good to them never late, sick 2 times in 3 years... i was a great employee....
but i don't care anymore..... i'm allready screwed so it doesn't matter anyway....

**Clint** · 10-07-2005, 06:09 PM

That's the spirit! You'll go far in life.

If you're so underpaid, then how does a 21-year-old afford a 2005 GSXR 600?? But seriously, lose the attitude and get on with your life. The world owes you nothing.

leenmachine · 10-08-2005, 12:29 PM

I quit my job and they won't hire me back. What should I do? They treated me like crap. I think I'll go back and rob them.

**Clint** · 10-08-2005, 02:18 PM

Sounds good. I'll go with.

LIVE WITH FAMILY!!!! and i have no bills!!!

**Uncle Bob** · 10-08-2005, 05:03 PM

Sorry but have to agree with the others here. No matter how exceptional and loved you may have been, that all went out the door when you did.

The company I work for has a policy of never rehiring anybody who has quit.

On a side note did they hire somebody to replace you when you left ? If so do you expect then to fire him/her to give you your spot back when the trust has been compromized ?.

stevie c · 10-08-2005, 05:09 PM

I probably wouldn't rehire anyone who quit on me, if I wasn't good enough to them to make them want to work for me then why should I take them back when they realised the grass isn't always greener on the other side?

But if I did it would be to mess them up a little......
