“60 Shocking First-Day Stories: What Made These Employees Walk Out for Good?”
The vehicle was a van in the academic sense in that it had four wheels and an engine, but brakes and tires were clearly an afterthought.
I decided not-dying was important so I lost those people’s phone number and worked at Wendy’s for a while.
I was hired in a temp agency office as a receptionist. When I was interviewed, I was told I would be answering the phone, relaying messages and greeting clients as they walked in, as well as some light organizing and mail dispersing etc. I was going to fill the position of the current receptionist as she was moving up in the company.
After I clocked in for my first day I was then told how to give/handle/run the urine d**g tests for clients. (I don’t do well at all with bodily fluids of any kind, I just can’t do it, would’ve never even applied for the position had I known.) And then by noon I was scolded by the boss for not knowing how to look up resumes in their database by key words to source for possible employees for temp positions. I was never told or taught anything about any of it. I took my lunch break in my car. Cried for about 2 minutes and then left. They called me and left me a voicemail apologizing for the way I was spoken to and for not training me and throwing me into it.
The job was misrepresented, I showed up on my first day and they said- we’re decided that you should do this job instead of what we hired you for… I said no, and walked out.. (an interesting outcome) a few weeks later I received a days paycheck from them… considering I’d only been there less than a hour.
A bartending job – the person training me found a giant shard of glass in the ice. And then poured more ice over it. Bye.
I applied at this massive night club/event space/conference center as a busser. I thought I would be grabbing drinks etc.
when I arrived for my first day they got what had to be 1000 chairs stacked in this massive warehouse room, and they ask me to carry them one by one (you could do 2 or three at a time but it was quite heavy) outside and into a different space. across the street keep in mind it was winter and freezing outside, and I was dressed to be indoors for the day.
