Great to hear you settled in a good spot. I know the stress.
I’m a big believer in not burning bridges even when your company screwed you. I got laid off as a medical sales manager after 10 years at a company I loved. Reason for the layoff was that the president of our company decided to acquire another company that didn’t work out. His answer to make the numbers look better were cross divisional layoffs in the salesforce.
In any event, I was cordial and sent a very heartfelt goodbye message to everybody I worked with. I ended up with another company that I didn’t like. Word got back to my old place and it worked out there was an open spot again for the same type of position a year later almost to the day. Long story short people started reaching out and I ended up back with my old company.
On the flip side a woman on my team left after 6 years (probably because she didn’t get a promotion). After giving two weeks she was almost unreachable Then refused to do an exit interview with HR. She has zero chance of ever getting back here and considering where she went, she may be looking in six months
