15+ Workers who quit their jobs on the spot on day 1: 'They told me it'd be unpaid training shifts... Nope'

In case you've ever wondered what would cause a worker to quit on the spot on their very first day of work, let these employees quell your curiosity. 

Sometimes, you just know a job isn't going to work out. There are often red flags during the interview process, and maybe you ignore a few of those because you really need the work. For example, if you're hired on the spot, you might feel elated, but that's actually not a great sign. The company isn't picking the most skilled workers, and taking their time by interviewing lots of qualified candidates — they're just taking any warm body who walks in the door. A lot of times, young people find this out the hard way — they're hired on the spot, and they think that they must've impressed the hiring manager with their exceptional skillset. Uh… that's not quite the case. Instead, like some of these people, they quickly find themselves in work environments that most people do not want to find themselves in, and they have to quit ASAP.
