'They asked if I was ok with a few days of "unpaid training"': 20+ Employees who quit their new jobs as quickly as possible

These employees couldn't leave their jobs fast enough after discovering that their new gig was toxic. They did exactly the right thing: why stay at a job where you're unhappy if you can find employment elsewhere? 

Of course, it's never that simple. After spending all that time and energy finding the job, interviewing 2 or 3 times, and reading your contract to accept the position, you never want to start that all over again. Some workers just had no choice, though. One restaurant worker started a gig, only to realize they couldn't put up with the establishment's rampant rat problem. Another person discovered they would be expected to work crazy hours — 17-hour days! — after their coworkers clued them in. With jobs like that, you just have 0 choice but to scrap it all and start over. 

After that, read about some newlyweds whose weddings went so poorly they're certain to divorce, like one person who shared that "When the 'I do's' came, the groom said, 'I guess.'"
