‘I politely declined’: Guy who quit 3-years prior gets a call from HR offering him a $5,000 re-join bonus and $300 more a month, turns out management drove the company to the ground

A man who quit his toxic workplace three years ago got a perplexing phone call from HR one day begging for him to return. They offered him $300 more a month and a $5,000 rejoin bonus on top of another $3,000 retention bonus. Sounds like a swanky deal, but what in tarnation could possibly be going on if a company you despised is trying to get you back? Don't let their new "deal" make you forget why you quit in the first place. The reason this man quit was because he wasn't being given any respect and they refused to let him grow in the company. He had had it. So he quit and moved on to a much better job and work environment.

That's why it was so easy for him to "politely decline" their new offer three years after he quit. After that phone call, he spoke to several old co-workers who he had worked with who also eventually quit. It turns out that HR was tasked to call all of the past employees over the last five years and give them the same offer to return. Turns out that the entitled management that pushed everyone to quit, also pushed the company into disaster.
