‘My boss made me work 13 hours without a break': Employee quits job without giving notice, then drives 9 hours back home

Often when hearing of a good job opportunity, people are on their best behavior, hoping that they'll pass the interview. After they get the job, the pretty picture that the company carefully curated begins to crumble, leaving a gaping black hole behind the velvet curtains that turn out to be a prop. In this case, OP was convinced by a friend to drive 9 hours for a new job that sounded at first like a 'good gig'. It took OP exactly 3.5 days to realize that something was very off about their boss, the job, and the company. When OP initially arrived, their new boss wanted them to begin working straight away, as in, that very second. A day later, OP worked a 13-hour shift and wasn't allowed to go on a single break.

In addition, the free housing that OP was promised turned out to be a 12x12 room in an old house with another person. The list went on… so OP realized what they had to do… they couldn't stay one second longer. Scroll down to read about the events that unfolded. For more like this, here is a boss who promoted the wrong employee after someone quit, leading to the company crumbling.
