It depends on which company I previously worked for.

It's a great question. We all leave companies for a variety of reasons. Sometimes just because it's a bad manager. Given a mutually amicable initial departure, I'd certainly consider again if it was a good company, good mission and potentially different circumstance a second time around.

I recently boomeranged and it has been such a positive experience. I've brought so much knowledge from the outside and I have a deep appreciation for aspects of the role and company that I previously took for granted. Highly recommend!

Given a bit of breathing room between stints at the company, I would want to see that actions have been put in place based on feedback given after I had left the company.

Promises are often made during exit interviews/negotiations. It would be interesting to see if they still valued the feedback after you're gone, or simply discard it if you didn't stick around

We average two lost devices per week, which seems low, but executive management is concerned and wants to know if our numbers are typical compared to other companies. My questions are: 1. Do other companies also struggle with lost or stolen devices? 2. What is the average number of lost devices per week? 3. Are there repercussions for associates who lose devices due to carelessness or negligence?

With Meta retiring Workplace next year, what alternatives are you using or considering for an internal social media platform? We also use the marketplace feature of Workplace for employees to sell to coworkers. Is anyone aware of an alternative internal marketplace within a Workplace replacement or as a separate product?
