First Day Alone With No Training [Why?]

[Kind of a rant but also genuinely asking] I’m getting really sick of the whole “we’re gonna hire you but schedule you to work alone on your first day” bullshit. do companies want their workers to fail? wouldn’t it cost more to fix untrained mistakes then to properly train new hires? or at least have another worker in the same position there to help pick up the pieces? I really don’t understand the logic in this. It needlessly stresses out new hires and creates an overwhelming environment for everyone else who has to deal with the ripple of those mistakes as well. Why is this so common?
