I work in a pretty good company (in the sense that it is Fortune 500 and provides good benefits) but unfortunately, I haven't been able to get along with most of my coworkers and bosses mainly because of a language barrier (my native language is English which is not the native language of the country where I currently work), and I thought my performance was subpar as a result. Boss told me we might extend your probation by 3 months when my 6-month probation was just about to end. I figured to avoid being fired, I'd hand in my resignation (I also have another offer, so I wouldn't remain unemployed), which I did the next day since I was pretty demotivated after what he said.
He seemed taken aback and seems to want me to stay but I told him my reasons (one of which is I would be pursuing grad school abroad anyway after a year). He brought it up with the HR team and they too have been convincing me to stay and would support me in every way with the challenges I am facing. Like, even though they have accepted my resignation and I am about 12 days into my 1 month notice period they said they could reverse the decision if I want. I am considering it mainly because I don't want my CV to look ugly and a couple of other reasons (e.g. I did commit to the team when I joined and I don't want to burn bridges with a Fortune 500 company).
My question is - why would they want to do this and seemingly pull a 180? If my boss didn't seem happy with me? We have a somewhat major project coming up soon where I play a key part so maybe it's that (though they could manage without me)? But also the fact that I have dealt with a lot of our customers who would be wondering why I am leaving the company 6 months into the job, and possibly the fact they have invested a LOT in me (I travel quite a bit). If I did stay, would they likely fire me after that project is over? I feel it is unusual for a company to want to retain an employee so badly when their performance hasn't been anywhere near amazing. So I want to know if it is in my interest to actually "reverse" my decision when I risk them kicking me out any time after (although from my experience of talking to them, they genuinely want to keep me).
