[quote=Anonymous]My first day on a new job. I cried in the bathroom about 5 hours in after realizing I had been misled on my duties and the scope of the job at hand.

I asked a very specific question during my interview, "will I be required to do ABC" and was told no. Day 1, right after my initial onboarding, I was given exactly ABC to do.

I told my supervisor that I was assured ABC was not part of this job before I accepted. My supervisor said "at the time, it was not. But the scope of the job duties have changed." In a week? No, you lied. You wanted my expertise for this very specific job & knew I would pass if it was part of my duties.

It was a combination of anger of the baiting & switching and frustration that I was once again going to have to do a task I did not enjoy and struggled with at my last job.

I gave notice the Monday morning of my 2nd week. I was fully prepared to suck it up for 2 weeks and get them established on the project but luckily that afternoon I was told I was no longer needed. I did get paid through the end of the month, so that was nice. [/quote]
