I once quit a job after 2 hours of my first day because my roommate called and told me that the job I really wanted called to tell me I got it. So I said Adios, and left.
Been there

I worked for Amazon for 4 hours and realized they were absolutely a horrible company to work for and made everything unnecessarily micro-managed. I left and said “I am over qualified”.

I quit many jobs by not showing up and I done what you have at least 60 times, sometimes without even having another job. And I am waiting for the state to approve my license so I can get the job I want and get the hell out of the one I have now.
Sucks if didn’t have a family to support I already quit.

I bought a batch of business PC’s from a foundered business back in 2010 for cheap, to flip and sell on Craigslist. They were supposed to come wiped, but almost none of them did. I wiped ‘em/reinstalled the OS, but before I did, I got into a few of the user accounts and found that basically all the machines had been used for in the past few months was job hunting.

If the business is going belly up, chances are all the employees knew months before it was “announced”.

Yup. You got it.

I overheard two of our warehouse workers debating whether the place was purgatory or hell

Yep, pay sucks and managers are control freaks.

Left there before the wave of layoffs hit. Love where I’m at now. Don’t settle.

That’s everywhere. I get well paid (higher than most others in my industry), have annual bonuses& raises, and plenty of paid leave, but I’m always looking.

Every day I start my day checking the classifieds. Having a look at what other options are out there is a requirement, not an option. If you don’t, you risk missing something better.

Most efficient system.

Software company, decently big but not global, cornered a certain niche in the market. Can’t really divulge more without risking my employment.
