What's been your shortest stint at a job?

When I was younger (long time ago) I once worked at a factory that made fasteners (screws, bolts, shit like that) for one and a half days total. I left for my lunch break on my 2nd day - and never went back. ($6 an hour) teehee!

Another job I had when in college - I worked at Baker's Square Restaurant for 4 days. They had me running the drive through, hostessing, clearing tables, selling pies, etc all for $4 an hour. WTF?? I called the manager after my 4th day and said I was moving out of state and couldnt work there anymore (totally untrue).

another job in college I had for about a month at the bakery dept (yummy) in a grocery store. i got fed up one day and went upstairs to punch out for my 15 min break and promptly left the premises to never return - except to turn in my costume/uniform and get my final pay check ($4.75 an hour)

Ive got you beat.

one day
oh damn you got me beat by 4 hours.


Actually, I quit a job before arriving on my first day. This other bakery joint when I was away at school junior year. I accepted the job for who knows what an hour, but never showed up on the first day. No call no show. I think it had something to do with the fact that I wasnt satisfied with how my Khaki pants looked on me that day and the khakis were part of the uniform. SO i decided to scrap the job before it even started.
 
My career counselor in H. S. had a bright idea that we (students) would work for free at places in town just to get a foot in the door and get paid eventually. I 'worked' at a pet store but the owner liked to rub my back when he talked to me. WTF...I didn't last too long before I was out of there.

softbal umpire, 1 game. Was suppose to do 2. (for the day) but it was for all summer.

adult softball guy is a tool
 
i got a job as a graphic designer, but they had been vague about what i'd be doing on my interview, and I was too young to know to ask.

so my first day, i got in at 9am, and they showed me to my "work station", which was in a smoke filled room (this was a long time ago when you could smoke in work). I was to be making dry cleaning tickets all day. not designing them, just sticking on one of the stock logos and adding the name of the cleaners. all day.
so after 2 hours of doing it, it was time to take lunch. I knew I was leaving and not coming back. i couldn't take it.

I was on my way out the door and someone asked me where I was going. I said, "the deli" and she said, "OH! can you get me a sandwhich?"
I said I didn't know what time i'd be back. she said it didn't matter and gave me $10.

so i left and mailed her back her $10.
 
what's up with all of youz running away and not be able to tell them you were just not interested in the job?
 
I was on a Speak and Spell assembly line for Texas Instruments for two days. The person opposite me decided they didn't need to put in a lot of their parts...so I had to really scramble to make up for it. happened twice in a row. Both minoirty workers.

I have wondered if they have a good attention to detail.
 
lol at you fuckahz. i had a job for ~2.5 months in the first half of last year. it represented an almost 70% pay increase from my previous job (which isn't saying much, because the previous job paid shit, but still...). i disliked it from the beginning.

i started interviewing within approximately a month, missing 2-3 days, or leaving early (we were on a punch-in/out system...i don't know how common that is for a programmer). because of that, they decided to automatically switch me from salary-based to wage-based, but didn't tell me. also, the place was a dump, and i don't want to work in a shitty place where it's hard to find a chair with all its rollers intact. they gave me a sweet compaq with crt monitor circa like 1998 or something...the new pc was never given to me. i didn't even have a cubicle...my back was open, and approximately 200 people walked past behind me every hour.

then there's the job itself...a fucking disorganized mess. it's not what i expected. no proper IT infrastructure, no coherent methodology for developing or maintaining software. boss was too busy most of the time to talk, and i obviously didn't care...sat there most of the time painfully bored and sleepy. that's my fault, though...i just don't give a fuck about anything.

one day, the president called me into his office, talking about this shit (i came in late and hadn't attended an important meeting). he asked me, "do you see yourself staying with this company?" i said no. i was fired that day.

Walgreens. One month. Long story, but the manager got fired because of what a bitch she was on the day that I walked off of my shift.

way to go office space
 
was at a supermarket when i was younger for a couple hours. then i loled and left

other times i decide halfway through the interview that i dont want the job, and start being a bastard lol
 
True story. My friend still laughs about it to this day. When I was 18, I got a finger stuck up my ass for a physical, for a job. I lasted 4 hours on the job and my friend teased me, saying that I just wanted a finger up my ass. Why would a dr. test for prostate problems at 18 years of age? Mother fucker had big fingers and it hurt.
 
3 days.........

i was working some weird german ( i think he was gay) dude helping refine his websites.

when he interviewed me, he said he was looking for someone that was analytical and could look at his websites and see where they were screwed up. he said they were poorly structured and linked (he said no actual programming/coding). he wanted somebody who typed fast..and someone who could convey his ideas. Basically wanted a junior assistant/entrepeneur

i fit all those criteria.

first day i was just learning the ropes of the office and the concept/mateiral of his websites, 2nd day...he has me writing content for his sites, without even mentioning my main job was to write. I had no idea what he was trying to do and he was so vague with everything.

i walked in on my 3rd day and he let me go because he said my "writing was lame" LOL. the guy didnt even tell me what my job responsibilities were or how specifically he wanted anything.

by far worst job i ever had
 
Two separate guys working with me... One went 1 full day and didn't come back. The other guy came for 5 or 10 MINUTES, I was showing him the ropes on what to do, he said "I have to go down to my car and get my tools" and never came back. lol
 
About -2 minutes, I walked off 2 minutes before I was due to start.

I was 17 and I kept asking the manager how much we were getting paid, a Pizza delivery joint, he kept dodging me, then one of the other delivery guys told me that we were getting $2.50 per delivery plus tips, using our own car and paying for our own petrol.

I was like "Byeeee...."



b0und (fuck that!)
 
Before Motorola, I was hired by Equifax. I showed up the first day of work and was shown to the floor I would be working in (HR) and met my supervisor.

*this is no fucking joke*

The first thing I noticed was on the floor there was about 100 finger nails clippings. I thought that she was running a damn beauty salon in there. Maybe she gave everyone in the department a manicure before they started their shift??? No. They were all hers from a period of about 7 months. Big ol' thick crusty ass nails hacked off with clippers down there. She would lock her door so the cleaning crew couldn't enter.

She was a fucking clown. Bright orangish hair, rouge blush and beige colored lipstick.

I went to my desk and had to clean it off because it was dust covered. Opened the desk drawer and there was a half eaten ROTTEN sandwich in the drawer.

I asked where the bathroom was, they said around the corner. I walked around the corner, down the hall, out the door and got in my car and left.

Total time = 25 mins.
 
I have you all beat! 20 minutes at a Domino's Pizza when I was 16. I went into work and met my boss. This high school drop out who had been there for like 10 years and was a close to the definition of pizza nazi that you could find. Do you remember those commercials where that asshole manager at a pizza joint was trying to get all the employees fired up for the friday rush. I think that may have even been Dominos.

This assclown, after 15 minutes, walks over to me and starts screaming at me for not putting enough pepperoni on a pie. He screamed "are you retarded or something, the sign says 25 (or whatever it was) for each pizza. You must be some kind of idiot"

I didn't say anything and then 5 minutes later he walked over to me again and started screaming because the bill of my hat was bent to look like a gangsta according to him. He got in my face and asked me if I wanted to be black or something. I took the hat off and and threw it in his face. He went to take a swing but before he could I pushed him over the pizza table and walked out. He proceeded to try and chase me outside. From behind he sucker punched me in the back of the head. I fell to the ground, got up and beat the shit out of him. A cop was in the parking lot and saw the whole thing. When the cop found out I was a minor he put the guy in cuffs. End of story!
 
3 days secruity i was 18 at this time and like 120 pounds


when i started i was a floater ( you go to places that other employees called in sick etc like a sub) so first two days were fine in a condo just sat in the front..then day 3 they moved me to the ghetto's i walk in to the see the crew chief he greets me with

I had a doctor do that shit to me for a physical when I was 20. WTF was he looking for up there? I obviously don't have a prostate. I think maybe he was an old perv.
