Started my new job on day 1 of my two week notice from my WFH job

Keeping it vague so I’m not caught but I left job in the recent past, more money etc. The best part was the raise and we were working from home. The job I left in the past called me about 2 weeks ago and asked me what they could do to get me to come back. I actually loved the job, it is so close to home (we’re talking a mile) and when I asked for more money they gave it to me. This came at the exact day my “current” job announced a return to office, which is roughly 30 miles away from home for me. Me and my “old but starting again job” agreed I would start on Monday. I put my 2 weeks in on the Friday before assuming they would tell me to just be done, they have done this for employees in the past. Well…

Well to my surprise they want me to actually work my 2 weeks remaining home, as I start this new job the next Monday.

Flash forward to now, I am working my last 2 weeks with my old job as a WFH employee while in my current role hitting the ground running.

Do what’s best for you. Double dip when life lets you
