As fun as the idea of unemployment might seem while you’re working, most folks need a job to get by. Finding one, as it turns out, is often easier said than done. So once you actually get a job, it can be exciting to finally start, but some workplaces have vacancies for a reason.
We’ve gathered stories from people who walked into a new job and left almost immediately because they quickly realized that something was wrong. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments section down below.

I worked at Safeway for 2 days. They wanted me to stay outside collecting carts in -45 weather without coming in. Collect carts put them in the caged area, wait outside for more carts. Bye.

Dairy Queen. Some worker got rainbow sprinkles in the chocolate sprinkle bin (which I never saw get changed once). The manager then had me spend time separating the sprinkles out by hand.
