Getting fired within your first week or two of starting a new gig takes effort. You have to be so wildly unfit for the role that no one will take the chance to train you. There are a few thousand people who witnessed some of the worst first days of work ever , and they're telling the stories in the r/AskReddit community. Up next, these people have some interesting dating preferences, like one person who insists, “ Their date must have the same brand of toothpaste preference .”

This is your sign to ask for that raise, and don't you dare lowball yourself!

Sometimes, enough is enough.

When you go into a new job and realize immediately that you're not going to be happy, is it better to quit on the first day or give it some time?

“For anyone out there that thinks [working in a casino] would be a great job, well, I can tell you right now it's not as glamorous as it seems—especially when you are working in the kitchen.”

“[New boss] was transferred to the warehouse and [big wig] became our interim manager. I finished the project ahead of time and received a pay bonus.”

Sometimes justice can come years later and it's just as satisfying.

You think you know a person… and then they let you down. It's human nature: nobody's perfect, and everybody makes mistakes. Next up, read the exact opposite of this article: here are some workers who quit on the spot thanks to their utterly awful bosses, with one person revealing, “An entire department quit on the spot .”

The audacity these companies have!

Throughout the course of your working life, you'll undoubtedly meet some interesting folk; having wacky coworkers is just part of the whole deal—heck, you might even be one of them. Some of these souls might work with you for ages; they might have already been a part of the furniture when you started, but some of them will shine so bright that they don't last a fortnight, and some still won't even make it through their first day. Surely, in order to get fired on your first day, you'd have to do…

If you have been waiting for a sign to quit your job, this is it.

Rule number one: Never come between someone and their pizza order.

If you ever feel like you're failing at your job, these stories will make you feel like a model employee in comparison to the folks who couldn't make it a single day. That's right, some people get fired from their jobs before they can even meet everyone in the office. It's rare, but it happens, and it's often memorable. You know it's memorable when more than 23,000 people replied to u/roor1337's query: “People who got fired on the first day of the job, what happened?" Up next, an impatient DIYe…

This dude had the worst first day at work ever, as his manager can tell you. I mean, you have to be a memorably bad worker to get the boot after a single eight-hour shift. Poor u/LazerMoonCentaur was a manager at a cafe, and one day, they got stuck with the least competent employee ever. Next up, these people shared stories of the most tech-illiterate people they know like the person who had to show someone “multiple times how to open Excel .”

That job let you go, so it's time you did the same about that job and move on… To memes!

If you're going to be a micromanaging kind of manager, then you should at least do it with correct grammar…
