‘I’m outta here': Employees Share Stories About Quitting on the First Day

It doesn't take much to realize you don't want to work somewhere. It could be that their lack of morals is obvious from the moment you start your first shift. Or maybe you're lucky and figure it out beforehand, during the interview process. You think, 'Nope, this is not for me', and either don't continue, or immediately quit. Back when I was working as a waitress, I did a couple of shifts at different places. Once, I interviewed at a fast food restaurant chain where the employees looked (surprise, surprise) absolutely miserable. Now, I know that minimum wage workers aren't exactly the happiest bunch, but there was something off about this place. The manager was creepy and asked me a bunch of personal questions that at the time, I answered because I was 17 and naive. Today, I would have laughed in their face and told them nicely to get a life.

After one shift I realized why everyone hated it so much. We were forced to work overtime for no extra pay, and many employees shared that they weren't allowed to take vacations. I noped out of there real fast. Below you will find a thread where people share times they quit on the spot.
