Got out of this nightmare

Some of you may remember the post about my company monitoring activity and sharing it with us. Not a good situation to be in with Big Brother over your shoulder all the time. Finally got the job I've been waiting for and can get out of this place. I started very recently so it will be an awkward exit. What's the shortest amount of time you've spent at a company before bouncing?

I think I've got @antiASKHOLEbeat here. My shortest was 2 weeks. Both me and my employer realized very quickly that it wasn't a great fit. They sold the position as an Account Management spot, but it ended up being 95% data entry and 5% customer interaction. I was miserable.

Did you give a full 2 weeks notice or just say bye?

Just bounced.
It was kind of a scammy situation and they lied about hours worked. So at that point, their integrity meant nothing, so neither did my loyalty to them. I called my “superior” and told him I will be coming in the next day to collect my pay.

3 months and it would have been shorter but was keeping the paycheck coming in at that company while I was searching/interviewing.

Initially the job sounded great but once I got in and saw the financials and realized they were propped up massively by 1 side of the business but hemorrhaging out of the other businesses I realized I needed to get out ASAP.

My quickest exit? I lasted 1 week after "training" and realized it was not ready for primetime.

I bounced after 17 days. The culture was mind numbing and my boss must've been an executioner in a past life. No soul.

No notice, made arrangements with Accounting for my paycheck, and walked.
