I don't know what to do.

So, the place that fired me two months ago called today.  The woman I originally talked to left a voicemail asking if I'd be interested in coming back.

I'm really not sure.  I mean, it's a job.  And I liked the work itself.  But I dread walking back into that building and seeing all those people again.  The other night, as I was trying to fall asleep, I kept replaying that final morning in my head.  It was like a nightmare.  

I called her back and left a message, after I knew everyone had gone home for the day.  I said that I would be willing to come back.

I don't know what to do.

Yeah, that is intense. For me it would really depend on why they terminated me originally and how I felt about that action.

However...

It is a job and those are scarce these days.

If you need the job- go back- but keep reminding yourself that you can leave anytime you want; you're not trapped- its only a job and there's always a way out.

If you can manage without this job- then for the sake of your own sanity, don't feel pressurised into going back.

Whatever happens- no decision is final-- you can ALWAYS leave, if you decide to go back and its too hellish

Thank you. tigremere says if I do go back, it'll get easier every time I walk in the door.

We'll see if she calls me back again.

Yes, it's a job. That I liked. And what the whole thing boiled down to was a supervisor overreacting and the people in charge not wanting to overrule him, so.

*sigh*

That's scary. Would the supervisor in question still be there and would there be potential issues? Terrifying questions to ponder (at least for me), but like others have said, you can leave if you need to - the choice is yours.

I'm pulling for you, which ever way you go.

Oh, yes, he's still there. And I'd probably be going back to the same area he supervises.

I'm not sure if there issues remaining for anyone there. There was an investigation, I know that much. And I hope they decided to change their training to mention all those serious rules that lead to no-warning firing if broken.

But it is a seasonal position. It'll give me experience, money, and, I guess, a chance to face my fears. And no matter what, I wouldn't be there long.
