First, a little history. My family had been involved with the company I used to work for since it was founded, however we have never had any ownership. It changed hands from parents children, they forced my father who was president into retirement, hired an outsider to run the organization for what I think was the first time in the history of the company, and some of us were fired shortly thereafter. Prior to us being fired we were all promoted to newly created positions within the organization, and when we were let go they told us they were eliminating those positions. So, we were promoted to unknowingly be fired, and that was 2 1/2 years ago. The outsiders who were put in charge have been fired for poor performance, poor employee morale, and disagreements with ownership. Now, there seems to be stable leadership running the company, the company is flourishing, and things are better than during the previous administration.
After I was let go I decided to become a nurse and I graduate as an RN in December, and last week they have asked if I want to come back to work for them. The money and hours are likely to be better than nursing, good perks including travel, car, etc. But there will always be the lingering thoughts of what they did to me the first time there. I also feel like I've spent so much time learning the new profession that I owe it to myself to go that route. I've excelled in my classes and even made the national honors society for ADN nursing programs. This isn't the job decisions I expected to be making after graduation. What would you do or what are your thoughts?
