I once got hired at a company who was understaffed and with not so competent workers so they were glad they had me until they had to let me go because they "didn't have enough money to keep new employees" all while hiring new guys here and there

Don't be afraid to just get up and leave

I went this morning for my first day at a new job. I was supposed to be hired as a delivery driver, with hours from 9 to 6. When I got there, they told me the job is 90% warehouse work and stocking goods, with just a few simple deliveries on the side. If they had been honest with me from the beginning in the interview, I would have said 'no thanks,' and they could have found someone else who wanted that job. I had specifically told them I needed something that wasn't physically demanding, so for them to hide something like that is honestly just dishonest of them.

After that, they left me sitting alone in the breakroom for about 45 minutes. No one showed me how to clock in, or any paperwork, or any instructions at all. So I grabbed my jacket, got up, and left immediately.

Seriously, companies need to be honest and clear in their job postings and interviews. What kind of 'professional' people think it's okay to lie about the nature of the work until someone shows up for their first day? People don't have time to waste on these games, fake job descriptions, and salary surprises.
