The company discovered that Caleb had warned them repeatedly, built a succession plan, and trained replacements—but leadership had ignored every warning.

I could understand if a manager fired you and then someone above that person fired that manager and asked you to return.
However, when you can canned by the CEO and his right hand hatchet witch, I would not even talk to them.
Only people who could get me back in would be the board of directors, after they terminated the CEO and his sidekick
I'm out !!👎👎👎👎
