mandatory mountain climbing trip for an office manager role?

A healthcare company I used to work for had a manager training program where you'd train at different clinics for a few months and then be a full manager at one of their sites. Just a standard urgent care clinic. For the most recent cohort of the manager training program, the very first thing they did was a team building exercise that involved flying across the country to climb a desert mountain. The trip was mandatory and there were no alternatives.

Does it look bad to quit a job after one month?

I really don’t like my new job. I applied just to get out of a toxic work environment at my last job. I was at my last job over a decade but management became toxic and I was overworked and had a hellish commute. I took a job close to home for better work life balance. It has great benefits and ok pay. Except the work is excruciatingly boring. I’ve never had time move so slow as it has the past month. And my boss is just awful. He unnerves me and makes me feel on edge and is hyper critical. I can’t even go on my phone because he watches everything. Does it look bad leaving a job after a month? How do you explain that on an interview?

Interesting exerpt

From William MacAskill's book What We Owe The Future: “Following the Black Death in the fourteenth century, serfdom was soon replaced by free labour throughout Western Europe.” This line is footnoted with reference as follows from Encyclopedia Britannica 2019b: “The Black Death caused labour shortages that, in conjunction with growing central government power and peasant uprisings, contributed to the replacement of serfdom with a system of free peasantry by the end of the fifteenth century.” Just thought it was interesting.
