Hesitation Regarding Work

Question

Hello Rabbi,
I left a workplace that I really loved and where they really loved me, in favor of advancement in salary and the chance to learn new things.a0
I’ve only been at the new workplace for a week, but I’m not so happy there. Already on the third day of work, because of the wording of an email that one of the managers didn’t like, I got a “dressing-down” in front of other people, which hurt me מאוד, and even though 4 days have already passed since then, it’s hard for me to let it go. I keep asking myself whether this whole move was worth it. The next day I spoke with my previous boss, and he told me he would be very happy for me to come back, and would even try to get me the raise I asked for at the time and didn’t receive (which would actually give me the same salary I’m getting at the new place, just without the additional benefits I’m getting at the new place, like a car and meal participation).
I’m very torn about what to do. From an internal examination of myself, I’m generally a person who can be easily hurt, but in cases where I have no choice, I know how to deal with it. Both at the previous workplace and in the army, even though I was hurt by people, since I had no choice (after all, I need a livelihood, or I don’t want to receive a military punishment), I knew how to let it slide and cope. In cases where I do have a choice, I’ve tended in the past to run away and not deal with it (for example, when I was single without obligations, or in the current case where I have a previous workplace that wants me back).
I’d be glad to hear your opinion. Should I push myself and deal with this difficulty, or go back to the previous place and be calm and at peace? And invest my energies in other struggles, in my day-to-day functioning, and in my happiness?

Answer

There is no general answer to such a question. You know how important each factor is to you or how much it bothers you, and you should act according to your own judgment.
