Cleo_II 11/15/19 10:03:34 AM #1:	After interviewing and receiving 3 offers (and nearly a fourth but I ended the process early once I made my decision), I chose to go back to my former company. The one I initially left a few months back. Some might remember I was pissed at how they promoted someone ahead of me and gave him some of my stuff to justify it. That manager who pulled the strings has left and others were very upset with him over other things he had done. He was known to promote people based on favoritism. He promoted two others in the time I left (who didnt deserve it) and it caused major dissent on the team. Theres now new management and weve had some chats about what happened and she said they had made a big mistake in losing me. Theyre also implementing measures to prevent promotions based on subjective things and created a new leveling guide. They even had an offsite where they acknowledged that there had been some favoritism and what they were going to do to address things. So I feel confident in going back. I will be taking up the same position as before. They didnt want to give me a promotion given everyone else is wanting one right now and it would send the wrong message to the rest. That they would need to leave and come back to get what they want basically. That said, Im coming back making about $20k more than I did when I left 6 months ago. They were gracious enough to match my other offers on the table. What I did learn through all this is my value. Every company I interviewed with made me an offer. When I put in my notice with the current company last month, they fought tooth and nail to keep me and I had only been with them 4 months. Its certainly a boost to my self esteem but also a kick in the butt to keep going and not get too complacent as I feel I have been in recent months. Im ready to go back and kick some butt! <cite>Cleo_II posted [p:930171356] in My job sea...

southcoast09 11/15/19 12:21:52 PM #20:	Its nice that things worked out, but I would still be a little bit pissed off over the stuff that happened. I mean, every day that you were gone was money that you could have been making, but it seems that management played favorites and drove you away. I would personally want a raise or to be ensured that I was next in line for promotion. --- #MakeFinalFantasyGreatAgain <cite>southcoast09 posted [p:930176956] in My job sea...
