Is there anything wrong if one should re-apply to a firm that retrenched one, if there is a suitable vacancy at the time? Assuming one was retrenched due to the tough economy and not basically for any offence.

No I won't.

Some good Engineering companies retrenched staff in the heat of this economic meltdown, but things seem to be getting good now. If it's good, give it another try, but make yourself more indispensable. You can go for trainings, get certifications and improve yourself while at it.

Depends on so many factors.
What lead to them dropping you apart from the normal economic downturn of the company?
What's the internal politics in your company? Who are your ally and your enemies in the company?
If for example you have your enemies in the company, you should know better not to apply.
Because you are familiar with the system, the company may likely prize down your services "knowing that your economic growth may not be so great which brought you back to them". Of course HR will always exploit every avenue to go for cheaper labour with greater competency.
Finally, what's your purpose of applying? Career growth or financial growth? I know in Nigeria we are more financially conscious than we are of our career perhaps because of the realities in our country. This notwithstanding, a company that retrenched you may likely be the least to consider your career growth with the firm.
In all, follow your heart and explore every options that will make you stand out in your profession.

You no get shame ?

Nna... Did they use the place to swear for u? It's like toasting all over again, a girlfriend that left u for another man.

But on a serious note, it's not advisable. Being an old reject of the system (sorry to put it that way), they may not be very excited to take you back as every forward thinking firm would rather go after fresh faces, with new ideas, fresh energy, etc.

And in the unlikely event that they take you back, I won't expect that firm to have much regards for you, as they know however they treat you, you will always come back begging like a girl addicted to her abusive ex-boyfriend.

Last last Sha, half loaf is better than none, if it's your only option at the time, take it. But be on the look out for another job from your day one of your second stint!

All the best.

i wont! I would become self employed instead. Check my signature.

ifffaaaaa hear

For me i can't

No I can't. Why did they drop you in the first place? Your offer may not be as food as when you were then because they have already known your strength. Its better you opt for another place.

But Op, don't you have shame? I don't go back to my vomit.

That's shameful. Like going back to your slave master after being set free

How long ago were you retrenched? If you were retrenched based on the harsh economic condition of the country, they would have called you back immediately things started looking up for them, unless your retrenchment was years ago and they've forgotten about you, in which case, you ought to have moved on.

I won't be surprised if you re-apply and they don't consider your application. I suggest yo move on and look elsewhere, unless you are so desperate. As for me, NEVER.

Lol

What if it is a job you left because you want to further your education? And you are through wid ur nysc?

It depends on the relationship you had with the owners, at that time and whether you were an exceptional staff who had to leave for pressing reasons .

If the boss likes you no problem, but the relationship wasn't cordial forget it!! Trust me going back to a company you left can be demoralizing , unless the company was acquired by new owners.

Since u got fired...never re apply

You were not dismissed it is okay. Some companies might value you more cause you reapplied meaning your loyalty lies with them.

Personally I prefer you just move on, bosses tend to be spiteful when you leave their businesses.

As for Me Too Here I Will Not But I Was Called And I Think I Really Need Their Job Again I Will Go But Not To Beg Them.....I Will Come Back. More Trained On My Skills To Increase My Value From Them......

My uncle was retrenched from work few months ago, but recently the company called him on phone to come back for reemployment but he declined.. Is this a wise move from him ??

I won't reapply, but I can go back if recalled.

Haba!

Since you didn't leave as a result of offense committed, you can as well approach people there and see the possibility of you being recalled without necessarily applying afresh!

If you ask him , he must have a valid reason for declining their offer . your uncle must have been retrench due to company politics .


Politics is key at ones work place . if you are not a member of any party or in alliance with anyone , a lot of different things would happen at your back .

In your own best interest, please do not reapply.
It would have been a different scenario if the management called you back.
If you reapply and they eventually consider you, there might be little or no room for negotiation and you might not even get the full benefits that you deserve among other things.
Please don't. I know times are hard but God will provide a better paying job for you.

You were retrenched for a reason or 2. Why go back and prove their assumptions?
