I know this might be rare, but I've read stories of people quitting work on the first day at work. I mean it, maybe because of a reason or another. When you get to quit work on day 1, what would you say was the reason for so?
 
I wouldn't take a job that I'm going to quit on day 1. If I do that, it means I never paid attention to the job I applied for.
 
If there are red flags that you wouldn't know until working, then yeah I would quit day 1.

Personally, I'm also agoraphobic so unfortunately, it is feasible that I bite off more than I can chew. That said, there was a time where I only worked one day at a job. I ended up getting incredibly sick on my second day (like probably should have gone to a hospital sick) and my boss had told me the day before to text her because she had like 7 kids and couldn't answer the phone. I ended up getting one digit wrong in the number I texted and she didn't text me until what would have been my third day, a couple days later. I explained the mistake and sent proof but apparently they had a no tolerance policy and fired me.
 
Thankfully no, and I hope I never get such a job as it would be a huge mistake to waste time to go after it and give up another job for.
 
I quit a job on the first day. I've done a lot labour jobs, and some of them were too hard to handle, and not worth minimum wage.

The fastest I've quit any job that I started is under 6 months. The job became toxic that it's impossible for me to keep on working.
 
For a job that I've gone for an interview and also discussed about the project and many other things, I don't think I can quit on day 1. If it ever happened, then it was poor judgement from me, to be honest.
 
I haven't been one that quit her job on the first day but I have read many stories about it from Facebook. One lady said she quit on the first day because the employer is a wicked person.

You might not know the reason until you start the work. I have seen people quit because what they are told before they start the work.
 
I've never had to on day 1.

I more or less got fired after 2 weeks on the job as a home construction worker. I was hired without experience and the boss knew it but they hired me anyway. I wasn't good at it back then. I was about 17 years old.

I had a friend that quit a job right on the very first day. He resumed work and found his boss shouting at the other staff very terribly. He just knew that he was going to be working with a tiger boss. He never reported again for work after that first day.

I can never understand why someone would take a job they are going to quit on the first day. No one takes a job they don't know the job's description from the beginning to the best of my knowledge.
