Here's my two cents DP, take it for what it's worth...
If you know that you'd be walking into a potential clusterf**k going back and joining that team, why in the hell would you do it?
Let me tell you a story, back in 2001 I agreed to a secondment at our funder Legal Aid Ontario for one year (Then known as the Ontario Legal Aid Plan) to help develop and test new software for clinics to use in tracking client files and additionally offer basic tech support when I wasn't testing software.
After the year was nearly over they wanted to know if I wanted to continue the secondment, hell, they were looking to hire me away from the clinic, but aside from the fact that the travel from Mississauga to T.O. & back every day was killing me physically, mentally the job was driving me nuts because I was working my @$$ off doing what I was doing as part of my job and also picking up after an IT Help Desk that was as useless as a tow hook on a Focus :angry:
Moral of that ramble was, if you know its going to be trouble why willingly walk into it? That's career suicide IMO.
