A few days ago, my former colleague S told me that he was going to quit his job and didn't want to work at the company we worked together. I asked him why, after all, after he resigned from the company for a year, the boss came forward and asked him to come back to work again. After that, S and I talked a lot about why I didn't want to continue working in the current company, and I understood it very well.

Last year, the news of Huawei's low-profile and high-profile recall of employees who had resigned caused a lot of uproar.

In the matter of returning to the former club, not everyone can ride the wind and leap forward. Three things need to be considered before making a decision:

Consider the chips: a skill in hand, go back and sit back without worry

Do you have a skill set that is irreplaceable for the company?

For example, your level of making PPT is very good, and many well-known first-line companies are looking for you to customize PPT? Or, your operational capabilities are excellent, with your own theoretical knowledge of operations and successful operational cases in the industry?

For example, you have a lot of effective contacts, whether in government agencies, banks, or suppliers, the company's marketing and promotion all rely on your ability to win.

For example, you have a keen eye for understanding the essence of business; you have excellent employee management skills and can manage a large number of employees in an orderly manner.

You have to account for at least one of the above, and it is possible to return to the original employer to maintain the status quo, position or promotion. Otherwise, don't go back. Because you don't have core competitiveness, it's useless to go back.

Consider the timing: Take the shot when it's time to do so

One is to consider your own career plan.

One of Friend S's current predicament is to come back to work for two years, and his salary and position will not increase, which is far from what he originally imagined. He is a very talented person in computer operation and maintenance. When he accepted the olive branch from his former employer, he was thinking that with his own ability, he would be able to get promoted from supervisor to manager within two years after returning home. However, the opposite is true. The company decided that the job he was in charge of did not require a manager-level administrator. Therefore, it is impossible for S to get a promotion.

The second is to consider the industry cycle.

If the industry cycle in which the former owner is in is in a downward period and layoffs are in progress, you will be like a moth to a fire if you go back rashly. Everyone is doing their best not to be laid off. There is no room for you, a "traitor" who came back halfway.

Consider the fit: do you match the corporate culture?

Some companies advocate that employees work overtime collectively after work, so that employees have to stage a bitter drama of "overtime and dedication" after get off work; some companies advocate wolf management, so that employees can unite and work hard; ——The treatment is lower than the average level of the industry, and every employee has no eyes. Such a company is a hooligan. Different road non-phase plan.

So when you think about the above 3 things, you will know whether you want to go back to your former employer.
