15+ Employees who quit on day 1: 'They told me I would be making much lower pay... I quit on the spot'

Don't waste your time at a job that can't appreciate good workers — just quit as soon as you can, like these workers did! 

Sometimes, you just know from the moment you step into a building that the vibes are bad. It permeates the whole company. When management doesn't care, and treats people badly, you can always tell. It lowers company morale. Workers look miserable, there's no team cohesion, and the turnover rate is astronomical. It's like there's something in the air — or maybe it's the yellow flickering lights from the overhead ceiling lights in the cubicles — that's an immediate giveaway that this place is not the workspace to build your career in. 

These people didn't waste any time when quitting their jobs. Some left in under an hour! One person left in 3 hours to protest their boss's mandate of mandatory overtime. Another quit a restaurant job after realizing that the managers suspiciously didn't ask for any identifying information (you know, to pay the employees). Check out those stories and a bunch of other interesting tales from proud quitters down below.
