text: i was fired a month ago for not achieving company specific goals? my ex employer then called me up last week and told me that he wanted me back.  what should i do? are you working now?  if so and you are happy, i would not want to put myself in a situation that might repeat itself.  if you are at all intreseted in going back, i would have a candid conversation with the individual asking you to come back and why and how he/she could assure that the previous circumstances can be avoided.  good luck
