I’ve only been gone a month and they are already calling me to come back

A few weeks ago now, I made a post about leaving my job and instead of my employer allowing me to train my replacement (which we agreed about when I told him I was leaving), I got given a hundred and one more things to do before I left.

He wants me to sub contract back to the old job for a month or so and do catch up work and train my replacements.

And apparently nobody else there knows enough to train them either – figures since I had to teach myself.

Spoilers: I'm not doing it.
