I have gone back to a previous employer once. Got separated/divorced shortly after changing jobs so just needed to go back to a place where I already had a support structure built.
At any rate, you're not just burning bridges with companies, you're burning bridges with people. Your team mates are the ones who get royally fucked over when you leave with no noticee and (therefore) no handover. They're also the ones who have the choice to invite you along for the ride when they land roles in cool new companies, or to block you if/when you apply to those companies.
- toomuchtodo 3y agoI have worked in tech for 20+ years and have never held it against people who left with no notice. I still provide a positive reference or bring them with to new orgs, as long as they’re competent and decent people. No one owes notice. I only don’t provide positive references or don’t bring with shitty people, even if you’re exceptional talent.
- objektif 3y agoWhy do people take it personally when you leave abruptly. It is a job.
- hooverd 3y agoDo you also hold it against people who are laid off with no handover?
