The short answer is the people you interacted with are assholes. The stereotype of IT people is that they don’t know how to play with others. Just because it is a Stereotype doesn’t mean it is not earned.

Will I be not eligible for rehire by HR?

Do not delay the start date of your new job. You have given your notice and have a new job lined up. There is no action needed. Any place worth a damn would not hold it against you won’t delay your departure.

Your current and soon to be ex-co-workers comings and goings are not your problem.

Now as far as being rehired by your current place. That will be based on how good of an employee you were and the scarcity of your skill sets.

It's not that hard

It is is actually amazing how much difficulty people being a parent.

I will never forget this.

My wife, my Son and I went to one of those McDonald’s that has a play area. It was really random that we happened to go to that location as it was nowhere near our home. We went to this small engine dealer to look at a getting a used lawnmower and some other law care equipment. After looking at some machines we decided to stop at that place for lunch. This McDonalds was a significant distance away from where we lived. Think 45 minutes at least drive time.

My son, who was in elementary school at that time, says hi to this kid. The kid was in the same daycare as my son but went to a different school. The kid was sitting with his family at a table that was clearly decked out for a party. I could tell that the poor kid was not happy, so we started chatting with his folks and it turned out that none of the other kids that had been invited showed up for the party.

So naturally we joined them and my kid played with the kid and we did the whole happy birthday rituals.

I always figured it was because it was the other kids who were assholes. In conversations with parents at the day care afterwards, it turns out the kid’s parents didn’t send out any invitations for to the party and why the fuck they decided to have it in a random ass far away location is just bizarre.

The whole thing was an organizational clusterfuck. I am certain that was one of many scars that poor kid with have because of his disorganized parents
