When I joined (1998) people asked: You mean the food delivery company?
From Y2K till say 2003: Whoa, you work there? Cool.
From 03 till 08: Nice, must be a solid job
(left in 08, came back in 2012): Hmm, interesting choice. Why there?
2012 to 2015: Have you looked at what else is out there?
(Left in early 15, came back in early 16, stayed till 18): You must be getting good money, otherwise why are you there?
Looking for work for about 3 months in early 2018: Whoa, why'd you stay so long and go back? Must be something wrong with you
2024 (Peer hiring managers and internal recruiters we use) - Good luck finding a good candidate from there. Listen to their whole story before you instantly reject. Some are worth looking at.
Final word - If it's your time, enjoy the break, and just go get something to do to bring the money in and stay mentally busy. Might be a long time if your network fails you or can't deliver, might be super quick. Either way, it's definitely better on the other side!
