I quit a job in 3 days

I got a job from a tempory work agency. This was a temp to perm position but there was no interveiw with the agency or the company. I was given a list of responsibilities, a dress code and information about the building I'd be working in: I was told I would be part of quality control and had multiple responsibilities. I was told to dress in smart casual all black. I was told the building would be tempereture controlled and the floors were carpeted. And I was told my shift finished any time within half an hour after 7. These were all lies. This was not a temp to perm position, but an ongoing temp position. My only responsibility was single picks (so traveling around a warehouse and collecting multiple items for single orders) One of the buildings was temporary and therefore scorching hot. None of the buildings were tempreture…

I was told I would be part of quality control and had multiple responsibilities. I was told to dress in smart casual all black. I was told the building would be tempereture controlled and the floors were carpeted. And I was told my shift finished any time within half an hour after 7.

These were all lies. This was not a temp to perm position, but an ongoing temp position. My only responsibility was single picks (so traveling around a warehouse and collecting multiple items for single orders) One of the buildings was temporary and therefore scorching hot. None of the buildings were tempreture controlled. The floors were concrete. When I arrived on one of the hottest days of the year, I see people working in casual and comfortable attire. And I finished half an hour later than expected on the first two days and and hour and a half later on the third.

It was clear that I wasn't needed during the shift as I had to chase management around for things to do to kill time but I was then expected to stay on late as things then needed doing. It was also clear that this agency would say anything just to get people on the floor. I just didn't come in after the third day. You shouldn't feel pressured to stay on hours after your shift and you shouldn't be blatnetly lied to about working conditions and the job itself. Fuck em!

Tl;dr:

Everything I was told about the job was inconsistent with reality. After being expected to stay on an hour and a half after my shift ended, I quit.
