I left early last year after dealing with horrible leadership and trying to hit goals that couldn't be met. After leaving it was the most stress free time in my life. A friend reached out in November and asked if I'd be interested in a vacancy their boss was looking to fill. After much debate, and salary negotiations, I decided to come back. I can tell you in a years time, nothing has changed. It was one of the worst decisions I've made. I'm currently deciding what my best exit strategy should be. Some bridges are meant to be burned.
I'm reposting this to make sure more people see it - learn from @h3+1jgzg0wg9 mistakes.
