@zerodollarcoaching: Most business owners think I’m crazy when I hire back employees who quit. They call it a betrayal. I call it a clinical advantage. When a good employee leaves for “greener grass,” they aren’t just looking for money—they’re testing the market. When they realize the grass is brown everywhere else, they don’t just come back for a paycheck; they come back for the culture. They stop complaining about the small stuff because they finally have the scar tissue to understand what’s actually out there. I’d rather have a loyal boomerang who knows the truth than a ten-year veteran who’s mentally checked out every Monday. #BusinessOwner #Entrepreneurship #SmallBusiness #Leadership #CompanyCulture
Not a hard concept. Pay your employees and they will stay.

If they left on good terms, I shake their hand and welcome them back.

The best employee I ever had was a rehire. No one wanted me to rehire them.

I’ve hired back 3 good employees who all stood on some other grass and realized ours was greener.

From the employee-side, the grass is almost always greener.

Bravo. Another important thing, what do you lose if it doesn’t work out? Nothing. Didn’t have to invest another thing into the guy who already knows the drill.

Going back to your old job makes you weak. Why would you wanna go back to your old job and see your old coworkers and your old boss again that’s like having leftovers again

Just lost a great employee that had become my friend over 19 years. He left…came back and realized it was a way better place than other companies. When I say lost him he passed away. Started as a good employee but became a great friend bet the years without letting that interfere at work. Very rare in today’s age.

I love our Boomerangs, I'll have a full class of new hires and one boomerang and I let them tell their boomerang story. Grass is never greener on the other side.

Maybe you need to ask yourself a question what is a good employee leave?

If they were good you hire them back because they already know what they’re doing and you don’t have to waste time training them.
