I was in one for about 5 days and there was a single morning bus that went to the work site and back in the evening. Just two trips. The first bus I rode to get to the work bus was late, so I missed it. And had to walk 45 minutes to get to work that day, explaining that it wasn’t my fault. Then it happened again.
This was on top of it being a very high stress high turnover kind of job I didn’t feel qualified to be doing and wondered why they hired me in the first place.
So I called them and said I was quitting. I had an HR interview who said they’ve never had anybody quit this fast and were basically asking me a million questions to make sure I hadn’t been harassed, or that something serious didn’t occur because they didn’t understand. I was also black listed from working at that company for like 10 years and they expected a reaction from that, but I just gave them an “OK” lol.
The second one was to be a nursing assistant. I couldn’t handle the abuse from the folks stuck in the nursing home, who admittedly lived kind of miserable lives being confined to their beds against their will while losing their memories. Quit about 2 weeks into the training because I broke down crying in the bathroom and said I couldn’t do it. The trainer was very kind and understanding and said I was just too sensitive for the position, but not in a mean way. So they wished me well and I figured out healthcare was not for me.
