Dear All, Is it ok to call and request your previous employer to take you back after you’ve changed your company but find the new working environment is not good?

Dear Abhi,
If your mind says "yes" - go ahead and request your previous employer.
If your previous employer has a policy of re-employing left employees they will entertain you request.
Mostly companies doesn't encourage reemployment, as separation happens after the retention negotiations fails and employee has completely made up his mind to part with the company and indicates that he/ she is not or will not be satisfied.
For reference you can even go thru the below link : -

Dear Abhi, Ethically there is nothing wrong in joining your previous employer. Morally, its your take !! What face you would show is a personal question , for which you should be finding an answer.

Dear Abhi,
You have posted another message at https://www.citehr.com/345552-job-ho...-3-months.html where you state that you moved to a smaller firm for doubloe the wages and change in position. Now, do you want your old job back at lower pay? If not, why should the company pay you double the wage and promotion after only 3 months, that too at your request. I learnt long ago thet "Beggars are no choosers"; that's what you would be if you approach your previous employer.
The thing would be entirely different if you had worked for a longer time in the new company and you were "head hunted" for a job in the old firm. These thing happen in this age of technology.
Have a nice day

Reasons for my concern are:
1. New colleagues saying working culture very bad here, in fact they themselves suggested to move back.
2. Project getting delayed indefinitely that means either worklessness or being invloved in insignificant works
3. I may sound ridiculuos and funny but believe me I feel morally i did wrong by leaving them midway when their project was about to come.
4. I feel greed for money compelled me to take such step. Of course I know that they will take me back at the previous salary.
In fact I am thinking that If I get one chance, I will happily retire from my old company

Dear Abhi,
We can only say based on our experience. However, as we do not know the firms involved and their culture, you will be the best judge to take a decision. I hope you have learnt a lesson that money and position are not the only thing in life, but Health and Happiness are.
Wish you all the best.
