For varying reasons, I quit a WFH job and took a job with a 40 minute + commute and paying less, but with less stress, promising more flexibility, and fewer “work” hours.

For varying reasons, I quit a WFH job and took a job with a 40 minute + commute and paying less, but with less stress, promising more flexibility, and fewer “work” hours. After a little over a month, I have found the job is not all that it was presented to be, or promised to be - and it doesn’t look to be changing. I’m considering reaching out to my manager from my former employer to inquire about rehiring me - I left there on good terms - but am looking for some candid feedback regarding this request from my Fairygodboss network. What are your thoughts?
