Would you go back to a job where you were mistreated by your manager?

Last month, I got fired from my job, honestly, it was an okay job but I deserve a better job where I'm not working night times just in the mornings or whatever. when I got fired I was thinking a lot about getting my old job back, one day I went to my old job, and honestly, I regret asking for my job back because of how my ex-manager treated me. The reason why I asked for my old job back was that I missed my co-workers and I need money to buy a car because I have been using my brother's car and he wants me to buy my own car. Plus the job is very flexible where I can work and do college work but lately, my manager has been causing drama and I haven't even started working again yet for her company and is starting drama, When I went to go ask for my job back she blamed me for everything, it was my fault, she told me how I was so unprofessional on how I left the job when I tried my best to make everything work with the new job and stay with my manager company but couldn't and I even told her to I can't promise you anything, she was begging me to stay with her company but when I tried to get my job back that was a completely different story. I still keep in contact with 2 of the employees that work for the manager and they told me that the manager is bad at her job and is blaming everything on everybody which was like that when I worked there but anyways after how unprofessional and how I got treated by the manager after I asked for my job back, I contacted one of her employee's and told her what she said and my friend wasn't happy about what the manager said to me. Today I get a call from the manager because she said she would let me know once she talks to the people about the applications to see if I can get my job back or not but anyways the manager calls me and she tells me that she talked to human resources and all that she said she sends over my application, my information to them and that she doesn't know what the next option is if they will call me or they contact her and I said that's fine that she would let me know but then she says can you please not tell her employee what we had talked about and I said is there something wrong and shes like her employee my friend that I told her about what happened I guess told the manager how she should give me a chance and then she said changed the subject back to ill let you know what the company says and I said okay that's fine. Now I feel like I am being put in the middle of a conversation that I wasn't there for and now I feel like I have to tell my friend because why wouldn't I like I want to know know what she said and all that I deserve to know. I just don't know what else to do at this point, the question is would you stay with a manager or go back to a manager that is not professional to you or your co-workers? Or you would go back to just make the money you need till you find another job?

Hi, I personally wouldn't go back. As they say "you can't go back home again". In this case

it's not even a good option to go back to disrespect from the manager. The stress levels

would be too high a compensation for the money.

Is it possible to work for a Temporary Agency until you find another job? If we have to

work, it's nice to enjoy what we are doing and not dreading the manager.

I would continue my friendship with a close co worker but be careful that it doesn't

become a go between the former company and you. All in all, this is one of those

decisions in life that you must make and feel comfortable in doing so. Good Luck :) xx

you gotta decide for yourself but I wouldn’t either. Cut ties. Could be worse… could be Elon musk. I hear he is begging people he laid off by email after humiliating them publicly all week to come back. At least there’s that. :)
