'I just quit my job on the first day': Underpaid employee receives no training or oversight on day one, he quits while he can

If you sense red flags on the first day, you should know that things are unlikely to improve. In this case, we have an employee who was only getting paid $10/hour and who was told that his first day on the job would largely consist of training videos. However, none of that happened. Instead, he described via this Reddit thread that he was thrown into the deep end, so to speak, and was given no guidance on actions as simple as clocking in and out. At that point, he knew what he had to do: get lost before they suck you in, before it's too late.

 

This language might sound hyperbolic to some, but no matter what industry you work in, you know that sometimes there is no better solution than to leave while you still can. Clearly, this Redditor is not alone, as many folks in the comments went on to tell similar stories. For more, here's a post about a messy workplace after the cleaning lady quit.
