I had 2 jobs @ the same time with the same company, & I quit both of them because nothing is ever done correctly. One of them was working @ the summer camp. I no longer work for pay, but I'm volunteering for the camp until the kids go back to school. Do you think I should quit volunteering, too? I'm only doing this because I love the kids so much, & I don't want them to feel let down. My former boss wants to re-employ me for both jobs, talking about how badly he needs me. He's tried to bribe me with sign-on bunuses, raises, higher promotions, & whatever he CAN to try to get me to come back. Obviously his bribes aren't working. So, he tries to sneak in extra work that's non-camp related that's from the other job & try to make it my responisbility. Now, I think he's going overboard to try to get 500 people to sign a petition to get me to go back to those jobs. & he wants me to be responsible for everyone's unfinished or poorly done jobs. Do you think this petition will work? I don't!

He is really crossing a line here. I would quit with the volunteering too. You can always volunteer elsewhere since you are so good with children.
He sounds sick. I hope he isn't a stalker.

Don't fall for his underhanded tactics, and stand up to him about the extra responsibilities. Remind him that you are doing him a favor by continuing on as a volunteer, and you can just as easily walk away from that as you did from the job. Remind him too, when he throws out the "think what you'll be doing to the kids" guilt trip, that there are lots of other places where you can volunteer your time and work with kids - places where you'll be appreciated for what you do!

He seems awfully manipulating. If you aren't being paid for this job, don't take on additional work. No one is indispensable, not to say that you aren't a great employee. He obviously sees that you are an asset.
Tell him the reasons that you quit in the first place and if he isn't willing to correct them, then there's your answer.

Surely, you are joking. It's difficult to determine who's manipulating who more, you or your boss. You actually sound as though you are engaged deeply in this tug-a-war and are enjoying it. Only a fool works for nothing. Either negotiate to suit your terms, or leave. This game is little girl / high school stuff.
