Here is what some shared:

1.

“I worked in a hotel for a day.

No one told me where anything was.

A modern office desk with a clipboard and pen, positioned in front of large windows showing an outdoor urban scene. Sunflowers and books are on the desk

I got chewed out for it.

I told the manager I was quitting and wouldn’t do the next shift.

“I used to work at a craft store as a cashier but quit when I moved.

I came in, and they just stuck me on dishwashing for an hour, no biggie.

“My very first job was at a little drive-in restaurant close to my high school.

It seemed super shady.

I literally left after listening to her go over all these rules.

My training started a week before Black Friday so the store was already kind of in chaos.

As soon as I was assigned, the manager dipped never to be seen again.

Warehouse aisle with tall shelves filled with boxes, pallets, and packages, representing storage and logistics in a work and money context

The manager’s response was, ‘Just do what you’re free to by yourself.

Youll be fine; everyone else is busy.’

I figured Ill try.”

“I interviewed for a ‘professional marketing assistant’ and got the job immediately.

I was under the impression that I would be an assistant to the man I was interviewed by.

“Salesman for Kirby vacuums.

The supervisor training me pushed me to make the sale until this old woman was in tears.

I took the paperwork away from her and said not to worry.

Outside I told the supervisor I quit to which he replied I wouldve been fired anyway.

“I once went for a job interview as a security guard.

That started alarm bells ringing.

Two questions in an interview, and I am employed and working with no discussion about anything else.”

“I technically quit before my first day.

I got hired at a well-known gift store.

Also, at minimum wage.

Nope, apparently, that wasn’t allowed.

The manager thought that was horrible and ‘disrespectful’ to her.

I didn’t show up after that.

She called, pissed off that I wouldn’t show up to such an opportunity.”

“I answered an ad for a babysitting job.

I would have one day off every two weeks.

I left on the spot.

“It was a waitress gig for a local restaurant.

I finished my first day, then was told that training would continue for six weeks.

While I was in training, all of the tips I got had to be given to my trainer.

I was being paid less than $2 an hour.

I called the next day and said it wasn’t gonna work out.”

“It was my first day at Five Guys.

I then worked until almost midnight.

I did not return.”

“Young and naive right out of college, I took a ‘marketing’ job.

I noped the fuck right out of there.”
