Would you go back to a workplace where you might have burned a bridge?

So I am in a tough spot. I am not where I want to be or thought I would be at this point. Last year I was working at retail store part of a college. I did enjoy working there and I did briefly work there during the pandemic as well. I managed to get along with a lot of people that work there. However, there were about two instances where I feel like certain people tried to cross the professional boundaries. One manager there seemed to be romantically interested in me since the first day I worked there. I distanced myself from him and I think he got the message. After that, the I came back to work there, we did not interact much. Although, I did not necessarily have to talk much with him to do my job. He was the assistant manager and would basically oversee the store. I would mostly interact with department managers who I would work with directly. Even though, I knew he was probably over it I still felt awkward around him. He might have sensed this and I feel like it left a bad taste. There was also another person who also held a high position as well. This man was older than me. I noticed he is a person who doesn't seem to want to accept his age. He would try so hard to fit in with the younger people. He liked to talk to me a lot and I think he thought we were friends. He invited me out to drinks with coworkers but I declined. Once again, I did not feel comfortable crossing the professional boundaries. The next time, he invited me to go to a free concert with him. I did not feel comfortable hanging out with him due to the age difference and the fact that he had a higher position. He also asked me this while I was working and did not seem to see the problem. But I thought it was very unprofessional. I didn't say this to him. I was so shocked and annoyed. Long story short, I did get another job but it is not going well. This job is cutting my hours. I need money and going back to this job is embarrassing as I thought I would not have to. But, it might be convenient.

If you think can handle it, then go back. Its not about what we think, its about you handle it.

We could tell you to can go back, but when go back, you might regret the move. If it was me, I would stick out this job, and look for something better.

Remember you left for a reason, you are just jumping back into the fire.
