As some of you may know, these last 7 months I've been going through a lot... mainly due to the fact
that I was without a job. Well, I spoke to my former District Manager through e-mail, my District Manager
then notified my former boss, and both of them have decided to bring me back to work. Although I'm starting
work through a "Temp Agency," I'm officially back working again, with payment very close to what I was
accustom to making when I was completely hired in.
Big time changes are officially coming... not only through my YouTube channel, but also my Lighting Gallery
profile as well.
Now, my question for you guys... has this, or anything relevant, ever happened to you?

Well that is good to hear
No, this hasn't happened to me yet

Something similar happened to me.  I left my job of 9 years because I was fed up with it and tired.  Ended up working in my favor as my mother came down with cancer and I was able to be there to care for her.  (she is widowed)  But a year later my former Sr. manager reached out to me and asked if I wanted to come back, albeit as a contractor via a temp agency.  I said sure thing, and I did.  Same pay.  But I was dealing with depression and it got the best of me and I walked out when things got to be too much, a month later.  Stupidest thing I ever did. 

@F96T12 DD VHO, learn from my mistake. Never, ever walk out of a well paying job... not unless there's
some sort of a back-up plan. In my case, there was none.
@RyanF40T12, I was also dealing with depression... and believe it or not, I've walked out of this job 3 different times.
That's right... 3 times... depression being the center reason. However, the third time was a mixture of depression, anxiety,
and frustration. I explained everything in the email to the District manager, and in his words, this is my "third and final chance."
After the previous 7 months of unsuccessfully looking for a job, I too can definitely say that walking out of the job was
the stupidest thing I ever did.
I don't even want to hint any of the things I went through during those 7 months.

I've had similar things happen. I left a job once because I was totally fed up with the abuse I was getting from the public (I was a bus driver). My manager tried to persuade me not to leave. He was one of the few managers I've worked for that I actually respected, so I did feel a bit guilty at letting him down, but I'd just had enough.

I got a job with a rival bus company, but after a few weeks it didn't work out, not because of them, but their ways of working were totally alien to me and I couldn't cope with the changes. I approached my old company and they had me back straight away.

I left again after a few years, and went back as a temporary driver, so I could work as and when I wanted. That suited me for a while, then the job of CCTV Controller came up, I applied for it and got it, which was the best move I ever made. I was working on my own, which has always suited me, and I could mostly pick my own hours. The manager said to me that as long as the work got done, it didn't matter to him when I did it..! Obviously I had to be available when required, for example if the police wanted to view footage, or the manager had someone in on a disciplinary charge and wanted to view any available evidence, but mostly I could please myself about hours.

The down side came when they reduced my hours to 3 days a week (they reckoned I didn't have enough work for 5 days. Huh..! They should have tried doing the job..! I did that for a few more years until I decided to retire about 3 years ago.

Hey, that is wonderful news Suzukir122!    I'm so glad to hear you're back at your old job and things are looking up for you.  As always, best wishes and I hope you have a smooth and easy transition back into your original routine 

For me, when I went off to college, I had to temporarily quit my job.  Thankfully, I made prior arrangements and they agreed to hire me back after my semester was over.  I took time off from August through December so I could transition into college life during my first semester.  Transitions and major life changes have always been difficult for me, so I decided to take the time off and focus on my school.  It worked out as well as it could, and I happily went back to work with my first semester of college under my belt.
