Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

​I mean either quitting on the spot, or deciding not to continue with the training or application process

I've quit on the spot once when the boss hired a new guy at higher pay than me after turning down my request for a raise earlier in the season. I had worked there for 4 seasons but he decided the inexperienced guy was worth way more than I even asked for

I also left halfway through training for a sales job when they revealed we'd mostly be preying on lonely, elderly people. I was desperate for money but not that desperate, I ended up suffering through a few months of grueling factory night shifts but it was preferable to that scummy sales job

I had that experience once. I found out we were gonna be selling crypto shit in poor communities, I didn't walk out but I didn't go back.
