  It sounds like you should look elsewhere for work. If exit negotiations were hostile, they’ll be concerned with you bringing hostility into the workplace. You’re a liability.

    My former boss has previously had problems with other lawyers (both subordinates and those within her hierarchy). My colleagues and other bosses also know me and my work, and have good references about me.

      I’m confused. So you do or don’t need her approval? Because you’re saying both things.

      If that’s the case just handle the talk with your former boss professional and cordial.

  Yeah: don’t do that. If Bridges have been burned, don’t try to cross them again. Move on.

  Oh, so you’re a lawyer who needs the approval of another lawyer, but beyond that you’re welcome back with open arms?

  Ok. I got this.

  Just buy that one lawyer a ticket to Jurassic Park. Really hype up the T-Rex exhibit.

  Problem solved.

  People like that have surprisingly short memories.

  If you want to apply back, talk to your former colleagues who have good things to say. List them as your references, or drop their names.

  Don’t talk to your old boss. Don’t give her power over you again if your job will have nothing to do with her.

  I’ve returned back to an old job but I had left on good terms, and in fact my old boss ended up wanting to keep me around as a freelancer… eventually when my newer job wound down and I needed something more permanent it just kind of made sense to go back to the old job where the boss there still wanted me around anyway.

  So when it is on good terms it’s easy. In your case it doesn’t sound like you left on great terms, and it is quite possible your former boss is going to give a bad recommendation on having the company allow you to come back. Personally I might consider that a burned bridge at this point, but hey anything can happen so all you can do is give it a go. My suggestion is to talk to your former boss and just accept blame for whatever they want to throw at you, and hope they at least give a neutral recommendation on you coming back to the company. In the end you’ll have a different boss anyway so coming in it’s a new start for you.

  OP you have to talk to your old manager because of the firm’s procedures or are you doing it to try to smooth things over?

  If it is because of the firm’s rules, then keep the conversation focused on the facts of the new position.

  If you are doing it to smooth things over, don’t bother. It sounds to me like the relationship was too toxic. I suspect that your old boss’ behavior is well known in the firm so your hiring manager may not put any stock in your old boss’ opinions.

    Because of the institution’s rules. I entered to the job by recommendation and I know a few people that trust my job in that institution. I know a boss of the boss of my former boss hahaha (who works in the main headquarter of the institution) and he told me that I need “the go-ahead” from my former boss so that he can help me get my job back. I need to say that this person is someone that I knew from when I was an intern so our relationship is only about work. He will help me because he trust my job, knows that I deliver a good work.

  Just reach out to them and ask if there is a role still available for you. Generally if you leave on good terms they will be happy to have you back.
