New IT hire forced to take control of the whole system after entire team quits: 'Everyone left the company on my first day'

Most new hires spend their first day getting an overview of their daily responsibilities and meeting the other members of their team. Unfortunately for this IT worker, that calm, chill first day was taken away from them pretty much instantly.

It turns out that on this particular employee's first day, they learned that the company used some obscure and outdated software that would take some time to adjust to and understand. Well, time did not seem to be on their side given the fact that the coworkers who trained her on that first day would end up leaving the company without a trace. Now, this Redditor had to take over the entire system with little oversight and guidance.

Keep scrolling below for their full rant and for the best reactions from folks in the comments section. For more, check out this post about an entitled coworker who demanded that an employee cover her shift.
