What Job(s) lasted the least amount of time before you quit / were fired?

I was fired from Arby's after two weeks for being "too shy".

My shortest job was at seventeen, and I was a telemarketer for two weeks. I got so tired of being cussed out. I was trying to help pay for college, but the verbal abuse got to me.

I think my shortest was for like 3 days and that was for orientation in a factory job. It was so hot in there and you had to wear safety glasses. I sweat like crazy as it is and I could not see what I was doing because my glasses kept fogging up. No one taught me anything either so I felt like I could not do the job after orientation days were done. I could not even hear what they said if they did try to teach me anyway because it was so loud in there. I explained my situation to the higher ups but they didn't get it. I could not try to work those industrial machines with no knowledge so when lunch came around, I turned my badge in and didn't come back.

I worked in a Pink Panther suit for a store opening. One day before I left that place. The suit was hot and I couldn't breathe. Longest job, 14 years.

1 day. I was trained to work at a party center; but for the days during the week I had nothing to do. I answered a couple of calls and paid a couple of bills. Then I was to work the weekend running the party center. I quit after one day. It wasn't for me.

My first job at Krystal burgers in high school was only about 6 months before I quit.

I'm not sure. I've not had many jobs that lasted more than a matter of weeks to a few months. Not counting ones where I went to a training day and wasn't called back, it was probably a door to door sales job selling windows. I sold precisely nothing. I went out, if I recall, twice maybe three times (it was a long time ago, one of my first jobs and I was at college at the time). There were various reasons it didn't last - partly because I had to work in an area I couldn't walk/catch a bus so had to rely on someone picking me up. I remember waiting for that person who never turned up. I then had to spend some time getting what I was owed - the boss eventually turning up with cash after saying he didn't want people like me on his team - I can only assume he meant people who expected to get paid and not get let down by other members of the team.

I worked for York Steakhouse when I was a teen. I worked I think maybe one Friday night shift and never again. It about killed me. I was working there on the line in a cafeteria sort of place, and it was extremely busy. Nope, not for me. My sister also worked there and she stayed on for at least a year. Not for me!!!

The summer after graduating high school, I had a few part time gigs that just didn't work out (I quit all of them ). The shortest would be working for Miller's Outpost in the mall . . . where they sold Levi's clothing. Maybe it was 2 weeks? I didn't know what I was doing . . . I was supposed to help customers, but I had no training for any of it . . . I couldn't answer customers questions . It was just embarrassing so I just quit .

I worked taking inbound calls for PepsiCo. It was mind-dumbingly boring as there was so few calls and they were pointlessly stupid at best. I quit a couple of months after taking the job.

I could never have survived being a waitress

I worked at Walmart for half a day.

First real job in an office, I was the secretary for 6 months. I realized at 18 years old, there was something wrong with what was done. The business wasn't on the level, so I quit. Not even a year later, the owner was found out and prosecuted. He spent time in Leavenworth Prison for check kiting and other crimes. Bodies were exhumed from a ranch, that he co-owned in Arizona.

The shortest job I had was working in the kitchen in the German barracks. I was only 7 months there. I quit because I had no more appetite to eat and I weight only 39 Kilos because of that. I couldn’t stand the smell of the French fries, steaks and everything every day. I swore not to work in the kitchen anymore cooking those food that I don’t like much. After my recovery, I worked in a cafeteria and only had to deal with making cakes.

I wasn't fired but because my work contract had expired. The fastest was I took care of updating the National ID Electronic data in Papua for 2 weeks.

The shortest was 3 months. I had to quit to continue my studies. That course only available full time. Should've stay there. The payment was good.

I took a short term job before quitting to complete my professional exam -four months. I have found the biggest issue I confronted was a few who were not team players. They exist everywhere.

Both of those jobs do sound stressful! Especially with the waitress trainers. My shortest job was as a babysitter - it lasted 2 days. I wanted to quit after day 1 though! However, the mom got fired, which means I did too. My longest was around 2 years I think.

I've never had a proper 'job'. They were work placements on the YTS. There was this place called R A James and they put transfers on jugs and ashtrays and stuff for pubs and places. I hated it! I got told I was too slow and that I should speed up. Then I was told I was leaving bubbles in the transfers and I should make sure all the bubbles were out! Well I couldn't do both, if I wanted to get all the bubbles out it would make me slower than they wanted. If I went fast like they wanted, I didn't have enough time to get all the bubbles out! After a while I got fed up of it and I told my tutor on the YTS that I wanted to leave the work placement. When he asked why, I told him. It was very frustrating!

4 months.....The people I found there were okay with the boss calling them 'cows'....guy was never around, never actually met him. It didn't sit right with me..I mean, you spend your entire life getting an education just to be called a cow... c'mon!!
