'I'm outta here': 30+ Workers who quit their bad jobs on Day 1

No need to waste time at a job that you're already checked out of — just quit. If you find that even on day 1, you're doubting why you took the gig in the first place, why stick around? You'll save yourself a lot of time and energy by just quitting and getting back to the job search.

A lot of people quit their first jobs on day 1. It's an all-too-common sentiment in the fast-food world: people barely get any training before they're thrust into the job. If you've only been trained on the cash register for 20 minutes, you're probably going to fail if you are forced to ring customers up by yourself. If these places would actually train their staff members, they'd probably have far fewer mistakes that will upset the customers. Like, if your new person doesn't understand how to read the order slip properly, they might just totally forget to give the customers half their order. Then the customer gets upset and yells at the employee. This is not ideal for anyone involved, yet this kind of thing seems all too common, as the folks below can tell you. Check out a bunch of stories from people who were wise enough to spot some bad work environments and quit while they were ahead.

After that, read about these hiring managers who refused to interview certain unqualified job candidates: "I have received a resume that is a screenshot from an iPhone."
