'For a 12-hour day, I made $36. I never went back': 15+ Employees who quit their jobs on day 1

Just imagine the type of situation that would cause a day-1 employee to quit on the spot. A workplace would have to be terribly run for that to happen! And yet, according to the great stories from these employees who quit ASAP, it's all too common.

With age comes wisdom, and along with that is a better meter for nonsense. The older you get, the more skeptical you become, but for good reasons. Perhaps you've worked in a few dysfunctional workplaces before, so you can spot red flags like a pro. For example, you'll know that if the HR person who interviewed you is eager to offer you a job on the spot, you'd better not say yes. With some life experience under your belt, you'd know that anyone offering a job that way is just looking for any fool to fill a seat in an office. And there's a good reason why that seat is empty — from poor management to a bad salary to awful coworkers, there are plenty of reasons why a company might have high enough turnover to be doling out job offers on the spot.

These workers found out the hard way — that's the bad news. The good news is that they quit on their first or second day, and kudos to them! Instead of staying on a sinking ship, they fled. No need to stick around and see what might happen at a bad job. When you're confident that your skillset can land you the gig of your dreams, you can quit with flare and not sweat it at all.

Up next, check out some stories from managers who revealed why they fired their worst employees, like one who shared that a worker "left with over $4,000 from the cash register."
