I never applied for this job, nor even am I sure I wanted it back, but a job is a job, it has good benefits and the pay is good. I was very happy there but didn't feel sad when I left. I get a call today from the manager to tell me that the position was already filled. How can they bring someone's hopes up like that to then dump you without ever giving you an interview?
They found someone who would do it for cheaper.
Sad but that is usually the case 9 times out of 10. When I went to Corporate and during my entire climb to get there, everytime when a person took the spot I left they were doing it for 15% to 20% less than they were paying me. When I retired they ran through 4 or 5 folks before finding one that was a good replacement for me. He was doing my same job for $65,000 a year less than I was.
Its just a fact of life, why pay more when you can get the same thing for less.
