“Once a quitter, always a quitter.” It’s a controversial saying that takes a strong stance on a touchy subject that delves deep into human psychology, and it can be argued that human beings will often refuse to quit things that are ultimately bad for them: like toxic or numbingly comfortable relationships, but when it comes to going after any part of our dream lives, we tend to shy away from the things that should matter to us, because they’re usually so much more difficult to attain.

And while the majority of folks probably aren’t in their dream jobs, or have ever put themselves in a situation to go after the careers they really want, that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t want to go back to a gig they got fed up with and eventually quit, because, at the end of the day, bills need to be paid.

A TikToker named Cei (@vitamincei) uploaded a viral clip touching on this relatable phenomenon in a video that’s garnered over 124,000 likes on the popular social media platform.

In her video, Cei looks directly into the camera as if to emote that she isn’t necessarily proud of having to ask her former employer for her old job back.

A video of her face is superimposed over a screenshot text message conversation between her and her employer. Much of the message is blocked out from her face, but what can be read is “know if I can apply. hope everything is well!”

Two response bubbles in the message reads: “Please feel free to apply I am sure the team would be excited to welcome you b[ack]”

In typical TikTok fashion, Cei lip syncs a sound bite to encapsulate how she feels. Her selection seems to be something ripped from a reality TV program, which states: “It was tough walking back into the studio but I did it”

Her caption for the clip is riddled with crying emojis, and it seemed that there were other commenters who saw her clip who seemed to share in her embarrassment: “me if i ever get the chance to message them i’ll just be too embarrassed if they say no,” one person wrote.

However, it also seemed like this was a common occurrence among employees, as multiple fellow TikTokers remarked that they too have re-applied to old jobs in the past: “i went back to my first job 3 times before i decided it was time to stop HAHAHA,” one person wrote.

Another said that they’ve experienced some drawbacks to going back to their old place of work and it seemed that whoever was in charge of scheduling seemed to hold their previous decision to quit against the worker: “i did too now they don’t schedule me LFKEIEH”

Another TikTok user took seeing Cei’s post as a sign that they should probably throw their name in the re-application hat in an attempt to get their old job back: “OK but I was just thinking of doing this it’s a sign”

But there were other folks who said that re-applying to their old jobs ultimately didn’t work out for them: “i tried to reapply to dairy queen and they denied me twice”

And then there were those who said that they burned bridges with their previous employer so badly that going back is definitely not an option: “I’m so tempted to do this but the way i left i just know they’ll reject me”

The news piece cited a quote from The Muse CEO Kathryn Minshew, who said that “many employers would be delighted to re-engage a candidate that they have been previously speaking to, if they have not already filled the role.”

Meaning that even if you do feel sheepish about hitting up your former employer for work, you may be overthinking it, as “The Great Resignation” has led to the rise of “boomerang” workers, i.e. employees who end up landing right back at where they started upon scoping out greener pastures and realizing, that the grass just seemed greener.

What do you think? Would you ever consider going back to an employer that you quit? If you’re in charge of hiring, would you accept a “boomerang” employee to land themselves right back at your company? Or do you think that it’s best to just forge ahead, no matter the consequences on principle alone?

Why Did Ben Leave Fab Rats? Tough Decision, Explained

Published

on

Ben Fab has been absent from recent videos on the Fab Rats YouTube channel, leading some to wonder why he decided to leave the shop.

The Gist:

  • Ben Fab has been a fixture in Fab Rats videos for years.
  • The Fab Rats channel recently announced that Ben would be leaving the shop to spend more time with his family.
  • Fans of the Fab Rats will miss Ben, but seem to understand why he made this decision.

Article continues below advertisement

The anchors of the Fab Rats YouTube channel have always been Paul Fab and his wife Lizzy, but another prominent member of their team was Ben, Paul’s brother, who worked at their shop with them. The Fab Rats YouTube channel is largely dedicated to videos about difficult tow jobs and rebuilds of old cars. Ben has been a huge piece of what the channel offered in recent years.

In a video posted on Sept. 27, 2023, the Fab Rats addressed Ben’s absence from recent videos. While they didn’t go into a ton of detail, they did explain that Ben would no longer be on the Fab Rats channel because he had left the shop. Now, many want to know why Ben decided to leave the shop and the channel behind.

Why did Ben leave Fab Rats?

At the beginning of their most recent video, Paul and Lizzy explain that Ben decided to leave Fab Rats in order to spend more time with his family. They said that while they were sad to see him go, they understood his decision, and said he still might pop up on the channel occasionally. The era of Ben appearing in videos regularly is over, though. Part of the reason is that his family lives pretty far away from where the videos are filmed.

In a separate post on Instagram, the Fab Rats made a similar announcement addressing Ben’s absence.

“Change can be hard and this has been one of the harder adjustments for us all,” the statement says. “We sure are going to miss having this guy in the shop but family is important and Ben’s family needed him. Lucky for us, we have Hunter and Sean around to help with all of the awesome upcoming projects.”

“Thanks to all of our amazing viewers/friends/Fab Rats family for the love and support you have given us. We appreciate you all more than you know,” the statement concluded.

It’s unclear whether there’s any tension between Ben and the rest of Fab Rats, but publicly it seems like Ben just wanted to spend less time at the shop and more time with his family, which is a choice all of us have to balance.

The Fab Rats certainly don’t plan to slow down, though, and their statement indicates that. As the comments under the post suggest, people loved Ben and understand his decision to leave.

“You know if you stick around long enough you always see people come and go in life. It was Randall now Ben but I’m sure it will not be the last we see either of them. We will all miss seeing you Ben, I wish you all the best!” one person wrote.

Who was Michael Gambon’s wife?

Michael married his wife Anne Miller in 1962 when he was 22 years old. Anne is a mathematician, and as a result, the two were very private about their relationship. In fact, if Michael was asked about his wife in interviews, he would sometimes pretend that he didn’t have one. The two appear to have still been married at the time of Michael’s death, although their marriage had gotten more complicated in recent years.

In 2001, while filming Gosford Park, Michael brought a woman named Philippa Hart to set and introduced her as his girlfriend. The news that Michael was cheating on Anne became official in 2002, and he moved out of the home that they shared. Michael and Philippa had reportedly begun dating in 2000 while working on the Channel 4 series Longitude together. The two have been together ever since.

Did Michael Gambon have any kids?

Michael had one child with Anne named Fergus who eventually became a ceramics expert and started appearing regularly on Antiques Roadshow. After becoming estranged from Anne, Michael had two children with Philippa. Their first child together was born in 2007, and was named Tom, and their second was born in 2009 and named Will.

What was Michael Gambon’s cause of death?

The news of Michael’s death was first announced on Sept. 28 in a brief statement from his family.

“Michael died peacefully in hospital with his wife, Anne, and son Fergus at his bedside, following a bout of pneumonia,” the statement explained, which suggests that pneumonia was the ultimate cause of death.

Michael first made his breakthrough as a British stage actor in the 1970s and had a long career in the theater in addition to his more high profile film and TV work. Although many Americans will only know him as the more controversial performer to play Dumbledore, his career contained much more than that single performance.
