When you're first starting a job, noticing red flags on your first day is usually reason enough to can yourself.

You did everything you needed to do. You ensured your resume follows ATS guidelines. You completed not one, not two, but three different interviews. Don't forget the technical assessment! You alerted your references promptly, and then subsequently received your offer.

On your first day, it becomes glaringly apparent: This place stinks, and so does the role you fought tooth and nail to get. What now? Well, nobody's forcing you to stay, so you quit.

Below, you'll read about why certain employees quit their jobs nearly immediately. They share what made them leave, and what you should never, ever tolerate in the workplace.

Micromanagers want their workers to be working 100% of the time they're on shift; however, when there's nothing left to do, is an employee supposed to just sit and stare at the wall?

Bored on the nightshift, this security guard was keen on writing a novel in their spare time, but management couldn't fathom that a worker could multitask on the job. Although their duties were finished and their next round of checks wasn't for another hour, this employee was expected to sit there and do nothing, but instead of drowning in monotony and losing precious time, this worker decided to be productive for their outside project. 

This "side project" turned into a huge drama in the workplace, but not in the way you would expect, because instead of being straightforward, management chose the cowardly way out, which backfired satisfyingly. 

There's something poetic in watching a law firm lose a legal fight it started by being smug. Nothing levels the field faster than arrogance meeting paperwork In this case, one man's unpaid commission became a slow-burning revenge story powered by nothing more than patience and receipts

After particularly tough days at work, these employees wasted no time before quitting. 

There are plenty of reasons to leave your job! You don't need to wait until you're dreading every shift — if possible, just leave ASAP. 

That's easier said than done in this job market. But just the feeling of quitting a job, whether or not you've got something lined up, can improve your life immediately. 

Instead of dreading your boss and having bad dreams about impolite customers, you can quit and find something truly satisfying to do. You really never know what jobs are out there until you start digging, and you might find a new career path that's absolutely perfect for you! 

An entitled dad decided to not only give something away that was not his, but he also decided to belittle his daughter while doing so. A two-for-one of entitlement! 

What does an aunt have to do to get some peace and quiet around her apartment?

Life in a one-bedroom apartment is cramped, let me tell you. You've got to embrace minimalism and keep your belongings compact. You can fit one, maybe 2 people in there, but whenever friends or family members visit, it feels like a tight squeeze. 

This Aunt is surprised that her sister keeps showing up to her 1-bedroom apartment with her young children! That's certainly not going to be entertaining for the kids for long — they're going to be bouncing off the walls within minutes. But this woman also doesn't know how to say "no" to her sister, which is making things pretty awkward. 

Just because someone is technically your landlord does not mean they have the authority to drop in whenever they want, especially if it isn't an emergency!

This tenant was starting to become suspicious about his landlord's true motivations after the unexpected visits with little-to-no advanced notice became more and more frequent.

'Unlimited' PTO usually just means that your company doesn't want to pay out your unused days if you leave.

Even though all houses have clear property lines, we all know that those lines get crossed a lot more often than one expects.

We're not just talking about neighbors attempting to encroach on their own property by going over these lines, hoping the residents won't notice, but about the more common, everyday ways residents must deal with, just like in the story below. People often forget that even if you position a fence or a gate to separate two properties, these can only do so much. So when a resident opens his gate, and this gate crosses over to a neighbor's property, it's pretty hard to make a stop to it. 

Some of you might think, why should they put a stop to it? What could possibly happen if a neighbor's gate crosses over the property line from time to time?

Well, apparently, even a gate can cause a lot of damage if you're not paying enough attention. If the gate is positioned right next to where you park your car, for example, the simple action of opening the gate can cause it to slam against your car and result in serious damage to the vehicle. And no, we're not making it up, since this is exactly what is happening in the story below. Which is unfortunate, because not only is this resident's car getting scratched by their neighbor's gate, but the neighbor also refuses to do something about it. He will not even be mindful of how he opens the gate every morning; he simply claims that the scratches on the resident's car are not his fault.

It won't be difficult to prove that this entitled neighbor is responsible for the damage, or even to get payback. The question is, should the resident go through with it? Should they fight for their property and ensure that no one, not even a gate, crosses that line?

Sometimes your job interview goes so poorly that you just know, mid-interview, that you won't be getting that job after all. 

It happens to everyone now and again — you fumble an interview question to so badly that you can't recover your confidence.
