Seriously, turn your effing cell phone off! And, if by chance the darn thing rings, DO NOT ANSWER IT!

Dude, are you serious?

Oh yeah, hey Chuck, I know that I laid you off and all, but the only way that I will hire you back is if you come in a few days a week and work for free. I mean, that is the only way that you can prove to me that you are dedicated to the job. Sucker.

Maybe they wanted to see that you can work under pressure.

BTW, you have an unbelievable sense of entitlement. There are plenty of humble people who will work just as hard as you (probably even harder) without the attitude. You need a reality check.

Why not just volunteer full time for him? It'll increase your chances of him hiring you back one day (...one day...) when he sees how dedicated you are.

I remember interviewing for a Bank Teller job (internal promotion opportunity) I had to be at best 19 or 20 y/o at the time and before walking into the office to interview w/the Bank Manager I stopped by the candy machine and got some hard candy....During the interview I had the candy in my hand eating some at a time and the candy was rubbing off in my hand & my fingers were getting discolored and really sticky...After the interview I extended my hand to shake the guy's hand and he politely declined...Later that day my then current manager informed the hiring manager that my interviewing skills were fine but the candy incident killed my chances...Suffice it to say I do not eat candy or gum during an interview.

What?.....he wants you to work for free so you can prove your loyalty? Sounds like a con job.
