'She told me I wouldn't be paid': 15+ Employees who quit toxic jobs on day 1

Your first day at work can set the tone for your entire career there. Imagine you've just accepted work at an office, and when you enter the building, all of the workers look utterly miserable. The bosses are ranting and raving, the meetings look tense, and maybe an employee even mentions to you that this is not a good place to work. So now, you've got a decision to make: do you invest your time in this company where you've been newly hired? Or do you trust your gut and keep looking? 

These people had some harrowing experiences at their jobs. One person tried to do a retail job, but were constantly ignored by the people who were supposed to be training them. Bye! Another person was told to clock out… then was instructed to work for another 90 minutes without pay. Thankfully, they left that job, too! Check out a bunch of very satisfying quitting stories below. 

Up next, see if you agree with this diner who tipped $0 on a $300 bill after the waitress refused to serve them a soda: "I think it's messed up not to leave tips."
