I was really confident. Then I lost a job to AI. Then they hired me back a few months later after realizing that replacing half the support team with an AI was not working out.
I was in a very, very rough spot. Was mostly worth taking the offer. It sure beat wasting 13 years of obscure product knowledge at some new job for the less pay others were offering.

How did your compensation change when you were rehired?
Rehired with all my previous tenure benefits with the added raise they would have given me had I been around when they gave out raises.
So your compensation effectively didn’t change at all, if you’d have gotten the raise anyhow?
Damn.

I hope you at least gave them a nice smug smile when you walked back in.
