Go for it because your story seems as though you were not fired but laid off on account that your Company was facing challenges at the time.

A job is a job, irrespective of where and who.
Forget your past, don't drag the memories there. This is a new job, a new position and a new... character, discipline and wisdom is needed.

Don't go there with the mindset of "I was here before". You'll be sacked after 3 months. 2 years is a lot, a lot have changed.

Forgive your past.
Forget the mess
Go forward!  more

If you were laid off in a company wide layoff, then that does not reflect poorly on you. They are interviewing you, that means they have high regard... for you. The question you need to think about is whether you liked the company and work last time. Because you are going for interview, I assumed you did. Good luck. more

I wouldn’t never go backwards learn from your mistakes and move forward. Everything happens for a reason and if they threw a treasure in the trash... before, what do you think will happen to you now? more

It depends on your ranking at the time you were in employment with them. Was your performance above average? Were you collecting any yearly bonuses... for achieving and exceeding the targets such that you will earn extra bonuses for the stretch? If so, they are calling you back because they understand what you can achieve, so, you can rejoin.
What are you currently doing? Are you in employment with proper remuneration where your performance is accepted by your seniors?? If so, you don't need to go back to your previous employer.

Depends on the reason one was laid off. If laid off while the organisation went on business as you usual, it would need deeper thought & may bea a bit... of explanation why in the first place one was laid off.  more

In my country, I saw an employee who went back to the company she had left, they gave her a contract of 1yrs, she left a permanent job later before... that one year contract even elapsed she was given a redundancy letter. She suffered looking for another job.  more

I would not go back just for the sake of the salary increment! However, I feel that there is still room for my contribution to transform lives of the... vulnerable then definitely I would opt to go back!  more

Its all about the people , if you loved the team then why not. You at least know you fit, a new job the first 30- 90 days are figuring everyone out.

Going back and retaining the years from your previous employment (time and service, vacation ect) would be the way to go. If you’re going to be... starting from scratch as a new employee…think about it long and hard! more

Why they laid you off?

Yes, every employee should let it sink in their minds that in the company’s books, they’re an expense, not an asset. Keep your feelings out of the way... and get to work, deliver on your work, get paid and keep it moving. more

If you're not occupied, then go back.This means they failed to get someone that souts your energy; besides that, if there were any loop holds,then... work upon them depending on the terms and conditions.  more

yes..in a heartbeat.

Go back or keep looking for another one or stay where you’re currently employed if satisfied with work environment and compensation/benefits.

If same management, definitely no, unless with new management with different ideas

if only staffs, Management and cond6has change that can be better

Yes, the fact that they even granted you the interview could be a plus. Make sure you numbly but professionally, highlight your growth areas... (training, accomplishments, successes) since you departed. This will show them that they are getting a newer improved you.  more

"Laid off" implies that it was out of anyone's control. Perhaps they coudn't afford the staff at the time, and obviously, they value your skills. So,... I would say, go for it. more

Yes—I would consider going back, especially if the salary and role are significantly better. Being laid off two years ago doesn't automatically mean... the company is a bad employer. more
