What is the shortest time did you ever work?

I worked as a legal transcriptionist for three days. During those three days, I never saw another human being. I walked into a dimly-rit room with a stack of tapes and a computer; I transcribed those tapes; and I went home. At the end of those three days, I decided: I'm not sure if I'm even going to get paid for this, and regardless, I don't want this kind of work environment. I did get paid for it. Two weeks later, I got a check in the mail.

Job was Usher in a Movie Theater. There were 26 screens. I worked 1 day. That was the day the sewer backed up into the bathrooms and flooded the place.

Why should you feel guilty?

Hired on thursday, started working on monday, fired on friday. Monday and tuesday were all "welcome presentation" stuff about the company. Started my actual work on wednesday. Their idea of "onboarding" was: "Well, here's your desk, good luck. Just check our system how we've processed these invoices in the past". I'm autistic, and I need clear instructions on how to do my task, what is expected of me, and who I can ask questions to in case there's multiple ways to do something. I have made this clear during my interview, yet on friday during lunch break they told me "This doesn't look like the right place for you". I still see job adverts for this place regularly, so I guess that tells me more about the company than it does about me. They simply don't feel like investing in new staff. Managed to keep similar jobs for multiple years, even got assigned tasks that were way above my level and got a wonderful letter of recommendation when I left for personal reasons outside of work, which could be very useful in my current job search.

Two months. The short version is that turns out that sitting next to a stove cooking metal parts with chemicals and sometimes handling acid is very bad for my health

Quit retail after 2 days cause I knew it wasn’t for me, quit a burger joint after two hours for the same reason, didn’t feel guilty because these places didn’t give me a reason too, felt guilty after leaving construction after 3 weeks cause they were good to me and I knew I just couldn’t do the job properly, they respected my choice an said I could always come back

A few hours. Who says i quit?

I worked as a telemarketer, reading a script, selling new window installations to naive homeowners. It was a terrible scam. The company treated the staff like 💩💩💩... Pushing us to lie to the homeowners. And, of course, the homeowners were cheated as well. I lasted half a shift. It was a night job and during a break, I left and never returned.

Well I retired at age 29 ( worked 13 years then called it a day ) ..im now 56 does that count 😁😁

About an hour and a half. I showed up really early for the first day, because for some reason that is what they wanted. Like it was still dark when I was parking at the building early. I got a tour of the office... it was about 12 cubes but only two people worked there. The oil industry had been in a downturn, and the place was just starting to expand again, and it was obvious the boss had been taking full advantage of the situation to terrorise the two remaining employees. The boss had all these ridiculous rules, For example you could listen to things on headphones while you worked, but you could only do so with ONE ear, in case the boss wanted to call you. Having BOTH headphones on was a firing offence. I really needed the job... but by the time the office tour was done and we were introduced to the boss...(one of the two employees had given us the tour. It had involved a good deal of walking), I said I quit, I don't want to work for someone like you and left the building. Forgot all about it till at the end of the year I got a W-2 for about $18 bucks, after taxes.

I worked at McDonald's for a few days when I was a teen. It encouraged me to go back to school.

About 2-3 weeks? I was doing superficial client background checks/verifications. The company procedure involved checking a person's social media account, mainly Facebook accounts + other stuff. It has to be done without us logging in to a facebook—be it personal, company, or dummy account. Facebook, flags some of us for view profiles without any facebook accounts logged in so I and a few others have to ask somebody else who's device/browser isn't flagged and this consumes their time and mine. Naturally I've raised this issue along with the simple solution to just make a dummy facebook account. The company & my boss didn't help me with our situation (and again, it's not a situation exclusive to me, other people have it too). I was rated slower than my colleagues because of it and I f****** don't feel it's fair to be rated poorly for something I am not equipped to do while being required to do it. I didn't feel guilty. They were fine with me quitting.

I was having a working holiday when in my early 20s. I left my country for 2 years and picked up work along the way. Anyway I was in Australia and apparently a restaurant was desperate for front of house staff so I stepped in on very short notice. The boss, who was meant to be "desperate" criticized my black trousers, and then made some snippy remark about young inexperienced staff. I was there about 30 minutes before I realised I just didn't care enough. I walked out without telling anyone and caught the train back to the hostel.

Worked at a 7 eleven for one night. The entire shift the manager kept hitting on me, didn’t return next day

Age 10: Delivered newspapers 6 mornings a week Age 12: Fried chicken place Age 14: Grocery store jobs Age 20: Public transit jobs, and then became a city bus driver. I still enjoy driving, over 34 years later... I really enjoyed the Traffic Checking job, recording times and loads of buses.
