MAN JOINS NEW COMPANY, JOB DESCRIPTION SAY ONE THING, ACTUAL WORK IS ANOTHER

Question: Is it very bad to quit a job after a month of working there?

Advertisements

I joined a new job at the beginning of this month and it has a 3 month probation. If I quit in month one, I don’t need to serve notice & during month 2 its one week notice

The job is v. different from the JD + what I discussed & I’m afraid that if I wait 3-4 months, it’ll become a red flag on my resume (+ I need to serve a month month notice period) as opposed to if I quit now, and look for another place after leaving this one out of the resume but I’m also not sure if its okay to quit so soon/should I stay here and see if things get better/I adapt to the job more

Side question – Would it be dishonest if I looked for another job, but didn’t tell them I quit my old job already (I quit 30th April, before starting this new role on 2nd May)?

I worked at my old place for 3yrs already. Not sure how to approach this whole situation

  1. Quit. Cut your losses fast. The shorter the gap on your resume, the easier it is to explain.
    • (OP) Then should I tell the new company that I quit my old job in Apr when I jobsearch? Or just say I’m still with them when they ask why I’m leaving my old job?
      Say you take a break
  2. Bruh my shortest record was quitting in 2 days.
    Employers hardly spare a thought for their employees, so you need to put yourself first. Toxic environment? Leave. Actual job different from the JD you received and doesn’t value add to your resume? Leave. Don’t need to be shy.
    As for if your prospective employer asks you why you quit your previous job, like someone said, just tell them the company is not a good fit for you. When they ask you to elaborate, tell them the job description you were presented with was very different from the actual job and it is not the direction you want your career to go. (They might ask you what is the direction you want your career to be).
    • (OP) omg what in the world happened that you quit after 2 days?
      • Bosses decided to cut $500 off the agreed monthly salary because they decided not to expand their business anymore so don’t need me to do “as much things”.
        Assured me repeatedly that I will have my employment contract before I start work or at least on the first day. Kept giving excuses that their HR on leave. Found out on my first day (when I still didn’t have employment contract to sign) from the people there that they only get an employment contract to sign after the 3 months probation. If that’s the standard procedure, why lie?
        Learned from the one I’m taking over the role of that she spent 1 year following the boss around like a lost puppy before she can go toilet without asking the boss.
        Those are the three reddest flags. The female boss also somehow found me on social media and decided to follow my personal account, and they claimed to be a Japanese culture company but it very quickly showed that they just wanted to come into work to be treated like royalty (must greet them and bow when they arrive, and must serve them tea immediately). Lots of small stupid rules also, like your work is done already, have to wait for everyone else in other “departments” and for the boss to be done then can leave. Learned very early on that they just wanted slaves/to be served like royalty so I noped outta there.
        (Yah this much happened in 2 days)
