“60 Shocking First-Day Stories: What Made These Employees Walk Out for Good?”
anyway, I carried about 200 which took hours before saying whatever. I was freezing and tired and this was gonna take more than the 8 hour shift and the same thing next day. I didn’t even tell anyone I was leaving I just dropped off the chair and went home. I didn’t ask for my pay for the 2 or 3 hrs and they never messaged me about it lol. i was so happy to get home.
the position was advertised as event bussing, which I get can include cleaning and set up but this was just manual labour.
i wore a really nice black collared shirt, dress pants, a belt and my only pair of leather dress shoes btw. they told me to dress this way, did my hair etc. as it was advertised to be fancy events. lol I was not dressed to move chairs for 8 hours in the cold.
When I was 21 I got hired on the spot at a Village Inn. I didn’t know enough at that time to know that’s a huge red flag. When I showed up for my first shift I was shocked and appalled at how disgusting the kitchen was. When I watched a server drop somebody’s pancakes on the kitchen floor, pick them up and put them back on the plate, then walk out and serve them to someone, I was done.
My sister had two companies in play for her first job out of college. She really wanted Chicago, but it fell through, so she took the job in Detroit. (This was before the revival; back in the decay pØrn days)
It all moved fast, so she took a guest room in a friend’s place. Her first day driving into the city, she just felt dread, like “ugh, this is where I’m going to build my life?”
