''Please return home and shave [your beard]'… I never went back': 15 Employees who quit a new job faster than you can say 'OSHA'

There are moments in our lives when we have pristine clarity about our careers. It's rare, but when you get that gut feeling to run away from the workplace (not the dreaded, 'I don't feel like going to work today' feeling, but a REAL gut feeling), it's time to listen up. They say that our instincts are designed to protect us from harm, so when the red flags are waving, the managers are screaming, and our coworkers give us a sheepish look, perhaps it's time to quit onsite.

Working folks in our next few stories are some of the few who got outta dodge just in time to avoid a toxic workplace, quitting the second they smelled trouble brewing at the office, in the store, or even on the streets. Scroll to read some entertaining work tales of people who quit their jobs almost the moment they stepped through the threshold, simply because vibes were abysmally terrible.
