Hi, I am not sure if this is the correct thread but here goes. I resigned from a company I worked for over 2 years because there was just too much work. I however left in very good terms with this company.

I am now employed in a new company for 3 months but I must admit that I miss my old job. Two weeks ago, my former boss called me up and asked to meet with me. In the meeting, I was asked to come back to my previous job with a significant increase in salary and sort of a promotion. I was also told that they will be forwarding a formal offer letter so I could better decide.

Its been two weeks and no letter has yet to arrive. I am now confused. Can anyone give me some advice? What are the pros and cons given this situation? Is it possible that this is all just a sick joke? My current employer is also in the same industry as my previous employer although they are not direct competitors, if I were to go back to my previous employer, we will bump into each other eventually.

I have been working for 6 years now but never got promoted. I know I am a good employee but my superiors do not appreciate my efforts. I managed to climb the ladder by moving to other companies. This year, I do not expect a promotion because a co-worker which is much senior than me is next in-line to be promoted. Is this normal?
