One day as I am sitting in my study room, a thought just crossed my mind…is it right to accept a job opportunity with your ex-employer? I know some of you might say, “No, one should not” and many of you might say, “Yes, One should”. Lets analyze, why people change their jobs. Those who have conducted exit interviews in their career will agree that most of the time (almost 95% of the time) people change their jobs for any of the following reasons:


  • High Salary

    Good Career Growth

    Brand Name

    Their present boss is not good

    He or she is not compatible with his team

    Change in job profile

    Switching the industry

    Non-Democratic Policies

    Etc etc etc



Now, if you have changed your job for any of the following reasons then what makes you to rejoin your previous employer? I have seen people in my career who moved rejoined their ex-employer not once but thrice.



Do you think, that if you will join your ex-employer you will get the same respect from your peers? Will they accept you? Will they trust you? Will they believe you? I don’t think that they will.



In my opinion, it is an issue of ideology. It is an issue of “walk the talk”. Where does your self-esteem; your dignity; your self-pride goes, when you accept such offers…of job opportunities with your ex-employer? Life is like a one-way traffic…lets move on, with out crossing the same junction twice. Joining your ex-employer is like “Licking your own Spit”.



Medical problems and retirement are only two circumstances wherein you can “think of” joining your ex-employer. In case of ladies, “break at the time of marriage” and “break for maternity” are two more reasons for them to join their ex-employers.



Ideology might be different for each individual and so are the principles, value-system and beliefs. Some of you might agree with my opinion…many might not. There are chances that you may work under same boss…more than once. There are chances that you may work with same colleague…more than once. But rejoining your ex-employer is something, which I feel…one should not do.



Let me know, what do you think about this issue? If given a chance, will you join your ex-employer?



Looking forward to your views and comments.

Now, look at this. Once you have left a company for any of the reasons that you have mentioned, it shows up in a way that you are not loyal to the company which hired you, and that you get motivated by only personal benefits.
Therefore, stick to it, that, you have to either stay with your new employer or move on to another employer to be called as a job hopper. But never get back to the previous employer. You will not receive what you expect, and to add to that you might feel guilty, if they provide you what you want.
Avoid such circumstances, by sticking with a company for reasonable period of time.

Dear all i agree to view that "one should not join the previous employer for many reasons" but it may be right and easy if you join the same group but in a different company.
As many organisations todays have multiple and diverse business and each company differ from one another but together they fall under one group, then i think it is comfortable to leave one company, join another group and come back and join different company from the previous group. Policies as well as the whole environment differers, its comfortable.
What you all say?
