Entry PT-0142 · full text · stolen 0 timesReceived
A former employee wants to come back: [ROLE, WHY THEY LEFT, HOW THEY LEFT, WHAT HAS CHANGED SINCE, WHAT WE NEED NOW]. Walk the decision: was the exit reason fixed or just faded, what their return signals to the team that stayed, the comp and leveling trap (do not just match the market bump they picked up elsewhere), and the interview questions that test whether this is a return or a retreat. End with your call - rehire, rehire with conditions, or pass - and the exact framing for the conversation either way.

What good output looks like
Exit reason tested against current reality; team-signal cost named; comp trap addressed explicitly; a clear call with the script for both paths
