Manager refuses to let new hire leave early to pick up his kid, he quits the job without notice: ‘I made it clear this was a deal breaker’

One piece of advice anyone should follow when starting a new job is – get absolutely everything in writing. When you go in to interview for a role, both you and the interviewer might bring up important details on the job and its conditions. If you want to make sure you are actually going to get everything that is talked about, you have to get it all in writing. 

The employee in this Reddit story should have followed this piece of advice. In this Reddit post, he describes a situation in which he told his employer during the interviewing process about the working hours he required since he had to pick up his kid from school. But when his first day came along, the employer acted like they didn't know what he was talking about. This made his whole experience at the job extremely uncomfortable, so when he had a chance to go back to his old job with better pay, he left without notice.
