“60 Shocking First-Day Stories: What Made These Employees Walk Out for Good?”
Not quite the first day (I have a mortgage), but:
Been through the entire interview process: small payrise plus quite a generous company pension. All confirmed in writing.
“Cool!” thinks I. Leave my existing job and start at the new place.
A week or two in, HR does their induction. And the “generous” company pension doesn’t exist. It’s statutory minimum.
Obviously I raise this, because that’s not what I signed up for. The answer comes back: “Tough, that’s the pension”. Er… excuse me, but we agreed in writing that it wasn’t. “Don’t care; that’s the pension”.
They were astonished when I put in my resignation about a month later.
I took a job as a residential maintenance tech for a 500 unit apartment complex, the company that owned the complex owned about 2000 units all over the city. I’ve been doing maintenance for 10 years at this point and I know my s**t. Anyway they send me out with this m*th head looking dude to “train” me. We do a few work orders and I watch him ghetto rig stuff instead of actually fixing it. I kept my mouth shut until he decided to duct tape a clearly busted sewer stack, I was like “bro i saw furncos is the shop, let’s just get a furnco” he litteraly tore into me about him having “seniority” and he won’t be told what to do by some guy who just started. Whatever, I bit my tongue cause I had bills to pay. The next work order after that, we go into this womans apartment while she was at work to fix her sink, he tells me the tenant is “hot as f**k” and goes into her laundry basket and pulls out a pair of panties to sniff.
That was it for me, I walked out, went to the leasing office, explained what my last 4 hours were like and I would be contacting the authorities and the news about what I witnessed.
