If I left, they'd have to *beg* (and pay dearly) to have me back. I have given years of top tier performance and blood sweat and tears, and I have watched countless others get promotions, including mediocrity. The whole ordeal has caused me to despise the entire industry of the career path I once loved, actually.
I'm so sorry that you've been underappreciated. There are so many better opportunities out there, especially right now. Go where you are given the opportunities and recognition you deserve!
I can relate. Nepotism is blatant and rampant in my company. I like the work but that plus leadership not wanting to invest in my growth is a drag
this is the time to leave. I had a 15 year career and quit because of workplace issues. As a medical professional, there was really no promotions to get, but the benefits got crappier, the workload got heavier. It became more 'get em in and get em out' type situation with almost no breaks for us workers. I got a job with another facility and I am treated better, work on my own time, have an assistant, and get paid very well. Take the leap!!
Agree with you 100%. I gave everything I had to the last company (15 hour days and weekends) and it still wasn't good enough. And everyone was doing it! The company admitted that they would push and push and push, and they do that so colleagues try to outcompete and outperform each other. It's disgusting. Before I left, I told my director that it was too much and I had hit a breaking point, and he did nothing, but he added to the workload. I finally had a mental breakdown and quit. They had the audacity to ask me back a few months later. I will never go back to the grind of working for someone else to be their b*tch. Never again.
I relate to this comment and to the others below.
June this Summer, I resigned from my corporate job. Decided to go back to school this Fall. One of the best decisions I made. Best wishes and blessings to everybody pursuing their personal goals.
me too :) I'm working on my doctorate. hopefully I will leave corporate America forever when I graduate :)
I just posted a video about how I quit my corporate job to deliver food and live a simple life. I have since regained my time and freedom back... and I am more happier than ever! Sometimes all we need is a more simple life without all the stress and weight of the world.
I agree, my last job had so much more freedom and I miss it.
Funny you presented this video. When I was putting down business references for the job I'm now at, I contacted my old boss from 2+ years ago. She was happy to provide me a reference, but said I could always come back.
Tempted as it was, I was looking for a new adventure..but nice to know one of my old jobs wanted me back
I went back to a company I left but only after they agreed to pay me more than double my last salary. Then I used that pay to springboard to the current job I have, which is so much better in pay and culture. I would say if you do go back have a plan on how doing so will improve your career
Corporate is generally horrible that's the problem. Hard to not get a toxic boss / environment or not feel generally repressed. People are looking at the wealth of opportunities elsewhere, and if they have any opportunity, jumping to preserve their own sanity. I feel sorry for people in these environments that can't get out psychologically.
if you simply focus on your job, respect your time and ve comfortable with being disposable, you will be fine.
@@asadb1990 if you do that, they say you are a quiet quitter because you don't work extra hours
@@enriquejaimes3368 let them. most companies will fire you at a moment's notice.
I handed my letter of resignation at my to if AF job yesterday. I’m going to look for a more suitable job for me while I’m working Uber full time.
Congrats on escaping your toxic job!
@@JenniferBrick thank you. I realized that they didn’t care about me.
It's funny you upload this now, I just got a job offer from my old employer. Normally, I wouldn't take it but they're offering more money and rehiring me (I was unrehirable in the system). I'm taking it just to leave my current job. But I actually like a lot of the people who stayed, and I enjoy the work itself too.
Wow what a coincidence! If taking your old job back gets you out of one you don't like and gets you a pay bump, it's not a bad step. It also helps when you enjoy the people you work with and the actual job!
congrats
I have boomeranged a couple of times in my career. Once it worked well and the other time it didn't last long. On several occasions I have ended up working for or with people from previous jobs in the area, so it's always a good idea to leave on good terms and not to burn a bridge. I like to say, "Don't burn bridges. You never know when you might need to cross them again."
Thank you for your content. I have been finding a lot of good advice in your posts.
I work in academia with an administrative and faculty appointment. We have not gotten raises in 5 years. Consequently, people have resigned - excellent people. These people were extremely knowledgeable. Let me tell you, Career Bestie . . . This college has contacted 4 people that I know about, offering them higher salaries to return. When they turned them down, they offered consultant positions. Anyway, no one has returned. If an organization truly values you, they will pay you what you are worth BEFORE you think about leaving.
Hey Jennifer, I noticed in this video you talked slower than usual, and it is actually better to understand, specially for those who do not speak English as their main language. Anyway, great content!
I'm trying really hard to slow it down. My natural speed is super fast and high energy. Can't promise it's a tempo I can always maintain but Im doing my best!
Haha happened to me. I quit and they wanted me back with higher pay. I came back
How did it go
Ms. Brick. Keep up the good work. Professionally, I see each one these issues in today's workplace. For myself, freelancing to start to create the life I want. Keep up the good work.
Hi Jennifer 🙋♂️ - I think those who left a job & have impeccable credentials & fulfilled their obligations to a company should be welcomed back. But if they left with any questions about their reason they should not be rehired. In general , it's best to move forward not step back. No reason to rehash the past , create the future. That's my opinion 😃
yeah i agree if you gave proper notice, and left on a positive note, you should be rehired. but ideally i say wait a few years and only come back for a competitive market pay
In my old industry (tech), there was a lot of bouncing around and boomeranging, especially with the big companies. Sometimes opportunities or circumstances can change, my focus is always on what is the right next step (and like you said, don't step back, we need to keep it moving forward no matter where that is)
Your videos are awesome and interesting. I took a early retirement from my factory job, went back to school and became a Licensed Massage Therapist. I’ve been licensed for nearly twenty years. I’ve mostly worked in the Spa World. Thanks So Much Jennifer. Your videos are uplifting and inspiring.🙏😃
It is like a toxic ex trying to lovebomb you to come back. 😀 (If the workplace was toxic)
extaly it like you have to reproof yourself....ugh....
Love your new tempo. So calm & informative. 👍
This can work at times. My brother in law has received such calls a few times in his career doing auto body work. He proved his worth to many people over the years
I had one ask me to comeback, loved being able to tell them no.
I've boomeranged before and I can say, it's only a great option if they have changed the culture.
I left my old job back in April of 2022. They have been trying to get me back for the last 3 months, now they are willing to double my salary!!!!
My situation is, I’m leaving my company because I feel like they are not allowing me to grow and putting me in a “box” because I’m really good at my current position. I’ve tried to interview for the promotion I want twice but they keep giving it to other people (who, in all fairness do have more experience than I). But each time I don’t get the job, they tell me how great I am at my current role and it just makes me feel like I’m never going to move up and grow. It’s going to be a hard decision, but I think I’m going to do a local travel assignment for the same kind of company in this area for the monetary incentive. I hope I don’t regret it and I’m not going to leave on bad terms with my current company, but I also don’t want to stay at a place that I feel like I can’t grow in
That's how it always is. Leave. Or let them know that they are missing out by overlooking you.
I’m doing some crazy gymnastics negotiating. I had leverage and put my two weeks, my company said to take some time off and use all my vacation. They moved to unlimited PTO, so I can’t get paid out anyway also live in a state where they don’t need to do that. It starts next week. This video is accurate. If you’re good, they’ll want to keep you. But if they have been dismissing you, YOU MUST PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN.
I have changed jobs a couple of times already and my honest advice is to change everytime you start to feel comfortable. It will get you to try many different things. learn alot new things. And most importantly it will make it much easier to look for a new job.
I had finally found the job Ive always wanted. I got a job at a dirt speedway. Doing maintenance, meaning anything that keeps the place looking good. Mowing, painting, moving dirt, replacing bleacher boards, checking signs, blowing all the bleachers....everything to do with the property.....one Friday I was working with the track prep guy....hes know for a attitude. I was moving dirt to our small go kart track. The track prep guy was in a hurry to grade the track. I wasn't able to get the dirt on the track fast enough.....He YELLED LEAVE.....I left, didnt work the kart race that night and the main race Saturday night. I texted the owner, was told I could still be on the safety team which we argeeed one when I got hired. But basically said it didnt work out.....I very upset....Ive done more than anyone from that speedway. Ive spent a lot of my own money....Im 60 and would like to go back and enjoy the time Ive was working there...thanks...so for the long talk....
If my job gets a whole new crew I may consider. It’s been the same people for too long. Everyone wants to say the same. No one wants to change so it would be a NO for me!
The salaries that companies are offering are laughable! I've been on a number of interviews where what is needed as "qualifications' are high, and the pay is not. When I mentioned this, I received the typical "well that's the salary and its not negotiable". If the reasons you left haven't changed, why return to the same problems?
Thank you not for teh advice but the instructing me in everything related to employment in the private sector. I wish i could have seen more of your videos, especially slacker chad. Althought is too late, i´m not in the US but Panama. There are not the same country but evetything you have explained fits in perfectly in the labor life you could have hear. If you read my comment, could you make a video on how to deal with snitchers at work, those who talk and try to be freindly but at the end end up trying to extract as much information from you as possible to provide insight about your life to an specific person.
I will admit, it has been a daunting and confusing process switching employers, especially during the pandemic. I was hybrid, but turned to on site (important personnel only) on day one. I switched teams from my interview. I switched to secondary skills. (But soon back to UAQ skill, yay!) There was training, on-boarding, but overall past the new job jitters, it was a great move. 👍
I would only do so if I was able to move up in the company, and get a few more benefits that I need. I would never take back my old job even if they paid more.
It's been a well known secret that to make more money, you have to leave a job and come back. I did this in the mid 2000's. It was not by design. I left to pursue a travel job, then when I came back to my hometown for family issues I got a job with the same company. The supervisor told me when I interviewed to ask for the top pay, since they only gave small raises annually. So in two years that I was gone, I would have only made about 2 dollars more if I had stayed, and being rehired, I got a 5 dollar 'raise'.
No, I have never been offered my old job back, but.... One time I did apply for my old job. The position description was vague. So vague that I got pretty far along in the process until I realized it was a listing for a position I had left a few months earlier.
I noticed this. I went to a medical facility which has such a staff shortage they have to make appointments months ahead in advance.
I'll be glad to return...only if 1- They double my pay, and 2- My old manager is gone, and 3- I get more work/life balance.
The company I left is bleeding a lot of money and still unable to find a replacement after 4 months because new people just keep quitting after a few days. I was good, so good, but couldn't accept that until I quit. :)
In my area, it seems like there is a lot of competition for jobs. So I am not sure it's quite the shortage it was months ago. Every position I apply for gets lots of applicants and companies are being picky.
Before covid I loved my job. The team was great and I got a raise every year. then covid happened. First thing my company did was lay off half of the team and cut our hours to half. They promised We'll get everything back in 2021. when 2021 came, my hours got shorter and they stop paying my over time. basically, I was getting paid 1/3 of what i started with. Now they're begging me to come back, with even worse binfits. it's like they don't get it.
Not a good move in my opinion. Same ole same ole.
Typically is.
Thanks :)
Since everyone is quitting, your former employer will likely hire someone else in the market rather than have you back.
Hi Jeniffer , why someone would return to the toxic place ? Would you accept going back for much higher pay checks ?
well the assumption is either you are desparate or you liked your job and co-workers, and want to return.
Nope, nope, nope. Going back to such a place signals that you can be bought and that the bad behavior that caused you to leave can continue thus providing the employer with even less of an incentive to make appropriate change.
That would be extreme desperation and probably a very emotional "in the moment" choice. I would maybe consider going back to my toxic job if they offered double (or more) pay for the same role, and if they allowed 100% remote so I could travel around. But I'd only work for maybe a 6-12 month period.
No one should go back to a toxic job (I think I said this in a video). But not everyone quitting right now is leaving a toxic job.
Not everyone is leaving a toxic place. Some people just found higher paying jobs, but found catches in the new employer. The old employer may have realized what they overlooked (not treated with abuse) and offer a better pay to return.
I recently tried to resign from my job and was offered a very good life insurance policy and 20k more a year
Ive still been doing work for my old job off and on. Theyre getting desperate becaise they can't replace me and anyone theyve hired has quit, been fired, or just never show up. I was contacted again by them and I been telling them no lately. My current job is easier and steadier. The previous job has given me a big raise but its to little to late.
I would never go back to any of my old jobs.
Ok tnx.
What about going back to your company but in a different position/department?
Well ... Any advice? I worked as a regular employee living a normal life. Suddenly received a promotion to management Yikes! No experience whatsoever pretty much a hand over and figure it out by yourself type of situation. Four months into it, several panic attacks and a self request for a demotion got me a chunk of wage rise plus another major management challenges. I have learn a lot from toxic management without compromising the expected outcome. Have I gone insane? Or have I learn how to benefit from this boomerang-shuffle-high paying market? Or did I just put a price on myself and became negotiable? I'm struggling with the thoughts of lack of self respect or opportunistic! BTW I made my breaks and no OT a priority.
I suggest having a diary, recording your thoughts and what’s the reason you left in the first place. Unless you leave for circumstances outside of your control (family, relocation for your partner’s job, having child), you must be unhappy enough to leave then.
Everytime I start to get comfortable again, I go back and re-read emails that sealed the deal on my decision to leave.
In 2020 I made 7K per month and worked 1601 hours driving a gravel truck around the city. Not bad for a guy with several educations and decades of experience in multiple industries that employer's only want to offer "entry" level (minimum) wages, because they don't think I can do anything. I'd rather "know nothing" and make 7K per month ;)
Well.. I have a CDL license to drive motor coach. I'm really burnt out with driving. But my company will let me come back. Idk .. I'll have to really give it some thought.
I'm sure after a while of my resignation if my job will want me back.
The boomerang category and the internal hire category both have nine dots. So statistically speaking they are equal. would you agree Jennifer?
im not looking to boomerang. but im currently looking as i head on vacation in a week for over a month. employer said ok but i don't want to come back to a layoff. but many employers are not offering remote.
I'm glad you're getting a month off and can focus on your search. Some companies may be open to remote but not obvious about it. If you have any recruiters sliding into your DMs for onsite, simply ask if remote is an option. I think good companies adapt to get the best talent.
@@JenniferBrick yeah thats my first filter to even taking a recruiter interview is if they offer partial remote.
I would like to leave my job for a better job, but due to my area a new job is hard to get even with openings. The best jobs around me require a degree, everything else is so poor work life balance and pay.
I'm getting too old to keep job hopping. All jobs I have had didn't offer retirements, or good benefits. I'm being used and pulling lots of overtime. Getting burned out.
Never get to spend holidays with family, nor have any weekends off to have social time, I can't even get time in to exercise and get healthy.
I'm just so tired. I like the work but the company is poorly managed, and we are a constant revolving door of workers.
I would personally tell them to go to hell if they ever asked to have me back . After all I did have to go to HR so I could finally go on damn medical leave after the holidays were over .
What are "DMs"? Direct message? Why not just say "direct message"?
Asan Australian. Boomerangs do Not come back.
What should i do i left a remote job to take a job that was different and only paid a little extra, great benefits. But the department was disorganized and horrible onboarding. The job didn’t workout for me. So, i got a new one and by the fourth day I didn’t want to go in to the office. They overwhelmed me so much. They pay more but they have old systems. Which makes doing the work confusing, training is all over the place. Its not remote and they dont like anyone talking in the office, u cant use ur cell and it cant be on desk, if ur late u cant make up time. Instead they take the time from ur PTO. Which i HATE. I hate they are not flexible at all. So, i want to go back to my old job if they would have me. The job is flexible and remote. They just pay less and dont have the best health insurance. What should i do?
Then raise the wages
I left as a janitor. They called me a week later asking me to come back. I did
6:01
I. why did you leave your job & are the problems resolved?
II. Evaluate the job offer.
III. Do not go back to your old job out of resignation regret.
I once back to a previous job. Worse decision I ever made.
If they were willing to terminate you or you quit in the first place, how can you be foolish enough to trust them with your livelihood again?
5':43'' LOL!
If a job has recruiters, it's usually for a reason.
If a job wants you back that because the realize they mess up by losing you.
Never return back to an old job unless it’s a different store or location.
I'll come back if you eliminate all the stress and BS !
Nope..
Your camera angle too centered. It divides the attention for your audience. Instead of directly centering yourself in the camera frame, move the camera slightly left or right to add interest and relax your audience.
True i keep looking at the stuff behind her instead of her
Interesting 😊 one draw back is the Hate file created after you leave. No fair Ive done nothing wrong.
I just want universal basic income. Tax the rich 65 percent and we can have it whole lot easier.
Define rich? Why don't you become rich.
@@joedaoust5942 anyone making over 120k a year
C Paul That's not rich and if you taxed that income at 65% they would be poor in no time.
@@joedaoust5942 yes it is. The wealthy need to know what it is like struggle. It's economic justice.
C Paul maybe they did know what it's like and didn't like it. Went to school and worked hard so they would be well off. You shouldn't take the incentive away for people to do better. What we need is flat tax for everyone so there is an incentive to make more without paying more of a percentage in tax.
