My team lost people who meant a lot to me in the last round, and now I'm left trying to manage the fallout. I'm struggling with the stress and can't stop wondering why I was one of the ones who stayed.

@kd Dude! EVERYONE who works here made a big mistake.
Is that a narrative you tell yourself because maybe one or two people came back? For its size and stature this is one of the worst paying MCO‘s out there. And anyone who tells themselves it’s not about money is smoking something. Job satisfaction and career development does not pay the bills. My increases have been half of inflation. So by staying here, I lose money. I have a manager who is openly hostile towards me. I have a previous manager that made direct threats to me amongst other things. Why would anybody want to come back to this low paying toxic environment? This is the worst company I’ve ever worked for. My biggest regret is I had several job offers and I took this one. I should’ve done my research. I made a big mistake.
@eq Some come back after discovering the grass isn’t greener elsewhere.
@dm why would anyone come back - its like going back to a spouse who promises not to beat you again - have worked here for 15 years getting ready to tap out and have never seen anyone come back, even those who left on their own.
@b6 I came back and regret it everyday. Don’t even want to try and job hunt right now so I’m going to su-k it up for now. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before I’m riffed again and I won’t make the mistake of trying to get rehired here when that happens.
It's not like they'd like to come back. For good reason.
