Workplace U-turn refers to the action of bouncing back to a former employer after quitting.

职场回头草指辞职后又回到原单位的行为。

 

While it may seem inconceivable, it is possible to make the dreaded¹ employment U-turn.

职场上吃回头草是人们避之唯恐不及的事情，可能显得不可理喻，但它还是可行的。 

 

U-turns happen most often among people in design, tech, media agencies and consulting firms, says Tim McIntyre, chief executive of the Executive Search Group, of South Glastonbury, Conn. Some job-changers say they boomerang back because they miss a workplace culture or a respected boss. Others quit to join an entrepreneurial venture, then return after the opportunity fizzles.

康涅狄格州南格拉斯顿伯里高管猎头集团的首席执行长蒂姆·麦金太尔表示，吃回头草的现象在设计、科技、传媒和咨询公司里面最为常见。有些换工作的人说，之所以回来，是因为他们想念某种工作氛围或某个受尊重的老板。另一些人辞职加入某个初创企业，机会消失之后又回来了。
