Sunday was my last day. I put in 2 weeks notice beforehand. HR just called me and said they havent taken me off the payroll yet, and asked me if i would be willing to work part time, just 1 day a week but on day shift instead of nights.

*insert one of blanc's black lady cant believe it gifs*

Senior employees are quitting in droves, and im good at this job so they don't want me to go.

Still no health insurance or benefits, but no other part time job in this town pays as well. 

 cant you negotiate benefits and health insurance

 Nope. Company policy is benefits are only for employees that work over 20 hours a week. That doesn't work with my schedule. Dont need it tho. With Obamacare i now pay 1/40 for health insurance as what i paid on their plan.

This makes it sound more like they're between a rock and a hard place, and in their desperation they want to turn you into a a pre-trained scab (training takes time and money, and it adds downtime). This happens in most high turnover jobs (as said high turnover isn't usually their choice, but instead their handicap). 

I had calls of the same sort too for the last job I had, but the only value I had to them was being less of a slacker, one of the later people to leave, and they thought they could guilt me into staying (nnnnope). I guess that I was working 40+ hour weeks didn't really fix that. Basically, it was nothing special, I was just useful to them and "change" costs more money than keeping someone else on the line (even shitty slackers for the short term). 

Maybe I'm just used to a history of shit-work, but being called to come back isn't really uncommon for that is it?

That is so much better than what mine was (you had to work there for an entire year for the benefits to start). 

One day a week isn't really that bad either, but one day a week also means you're making under $100 each week right? How much of that falls into things like gas costs and upkeep? 

I'm guessing from how little hours you put into it that you didn't qualify for unemployment or anything like that?

Ive only heard of them calling 2 people back to rehire in the time i was there. One had been there 5 years and was trained in every department. Quit because he was denied a well deserved raise. Ghe other could drive a reach truck and had zero safety incidents. Ive been there over a year and for the last month on my old department i trained every new hire coming into that department. They like keeping people who know enough to train newcomers.

 I make about $215 a day, so 1 day a week should cover gas and food

It's nice to be wanted. :)

Assuming you're working an 8 hour day, that's around $27/hour, and if that's how much you make a day after being taxed it'd be even higher (around $32/hour). 

Do you work long days for the overtime or something?
