From another forum but about people keeping it real at wrong time.

 So I started my first day as a staff accountant at this corporate company. I've never been a staff accountant before nor have I worked in a corporate environment. I was really nervous about it and I wasn't even sure if I could stand being in a business outfit all day.

Anyway, I get there and after filling out the necessary paperwork, I'm left at my cubicle with nothing to do. My computer isn't hooked up since they couldn't find the power cord and they weren't even sure if they had done a background check on me. After filling out my background information, I was left at my cubicle again with no instructions whatsoever. I was told before that I was going to be in training but nothing happened.

So I just sat there at the desk for two and a half hours. I was on my phone practically the entire time and I was bored stupid. After two and a half hours I had had enough. So I went to my boss and told her that I don't think this is a good fit. I told her that they don't seem organized and told her that I wasn't doing anything. She told me that it's only the first day and that I'm in training. But I told her that I haven't done anything and I wasn't even getting trained. So I told her that I'm leaving and am going home.

And now I'm at home. I called a couple of my friends, my boyfriend, and my mom called me and they all think that I made a huge mistake and should go back and ask for my job back. So I called my boss back and she said "No. You're done." And that was it.

After getting told that I screwed up, that I ruined my future, that this is how the corporate world works, I'm feeling very depressed. It definitely hit me that I made a huge mistake. Why don't I just kill myself now and get it over with? I have no future anyway, right? Why does the corporate world work this way?! This is horrible! Maybe I'm not meant to be in a corporate environment. Maybe I'm just meant to make minimum wage and be stuck at some dead-end job.

I hate my life. Did I **** up my future that badly?!

TL;DR: I quit a corporate position after doing nothing but sitting for 2.5 hours. And now I'm paying for it, I guess.

couldn't handle 2 and a half hours of sitting at a desk...?

You can tell this is the first time they've ever even worked a job...

To be fair, this company seems poorly run, but why did ol' girl quit after 2.5 hours? She didn't even make it past lunch?

Solution: She could've introduced herself to the other team members, told them that her computer wasn't hooked up, and asked if she could shadow them (which shows drive and interest) or help out in any way.

The real question though is did she come back and pick up her check for 2.5 hours of work? Seriously, why not make yourself useful, ask if anyone needs help with anything, like shredding paper or making copies, something, something.

And this Talia lady, I hope that those aren't real photos of liquor and food. My thing is why not go directly to your boss and discuss your situation instead of putting a letter out there.

It's a dude but a 28 year old dude who was working at Gamestop for a while and his mom hooked him up with that first corp job through her connection.

He could have just chilled, how many jobs on your first day at entry level do you actually do work? It like people have to take time out their day to train and help you.

Why stress about free money?

It was legit 9 people living in the house at one time. They converted the basement into a bedroom/recording studio and the attic into an apartment. Stressful.

This girl is an entitled idiot. You can't make an assessment about the company from just 2.5 hours

I would have been on my phone posting on NT and running some SpaceChem. When they ready for me, they will come get me, otherwise I will sit my *** here doing nothing and getting paid for it

And most importantly, don't quit one job without a backup plan. That should be common sense
