'They told me on day 2 that they had to fire a few people': 25+ Newly hired employees who quit their jobs almost immediately

When you know, you know. Sometimes you just get that gut feeling that tells you something isn't right. These people had that experience while starting new jobs… a lot of them lasted just a few hours or days before calling it quits for good. 

Although it takes a lot of time and effort to get a job in the first place, sometimes you can just tell that you're gonna have a bad time once you start. One person replying too u/katmio1's post wrote that they started working at a restaurant, but were so disgusted by the kitchen area, that they only "lasted 3 hours." Another person spent some time selling encyclopedias… in the time period after the internet was invented. Oh brother.

That person also knew they had to get out of that job as fast as humanly possible. Check out all of these great stories by scrolling below.
