Quitting After One Week Reasonable?
Hey all,
Basically, I just want to get an idea of what others think about this: quitting after one week starting a new job due to a long commute.
I got hired for an office job that pays around $30 per hour, 5 days a week, 40 hours weekly. The people I met were nice and helpful, but the commute in the morning was horrendous. It was close to 2 hours one way and then about 1.5 coming back home. I quickly realized that driving in heavy traffic isn't something I want to be doing long-term.
I feel bad that I quit because they seemed to like me and were banking on me staying there.
I didn't realize I wouldn't be able to commit to this distance. Remote wasn't a possibility and I don't have the means to move closer to that workplace.. When I spoke to the manager, she seemed to be understanding but not very happy about it.
I'm just curious to know if anyone ever had a similar experience?
