Employee quits stable job for better position elsewhere, then gets fired on day four with no justified explanation: '[They] told me I wasn't the right fit!'

Every time an employee begins work at a new company, it's a gamble. There is only so much research one can do in advance, and there is only so much intel one can obtain during the application and interview processes. At the end of the day, you rarely know for certain if you have found the right job for yourself until you've started. 

In that sense, yes, there is a chance you might end up at a company that is an even worse fit for you than the one you just left. How can you anticipate and avoid this potential reality from manifesting? The best that you can do is to know your own wants and needs for your career. If you can articulate why you were unsatisfied with the conditions of your previous position, that's already a good start going into a fresh job search. Next, you have to advocate for as much transparency as possible from the people with whom you speak at your potential new opportunity. It might be nerve-wracking to press for answers, but a decent employer should be more than happy to answer your questions. 

Unfortunately, this new hire saw some signs prior to their start date and ended up having those feelings confirmed when they had their first week on the job. That week sadly ended in his untimely dismissal. The company's excuse? They felt that the new hire wasn't exactly the right fit. Seems like they did not do their due diligence as employers either!
