I've posted here before about my difficulty finding a job and got a dm asking why I don't jump from one to another until I find my fit.
I have and I use to be a job jumper the year after college. I jumped from one place to another in a few months time I was at 4 different places. I did social media management web development and digital content creation.
The first time I did social media management and content creation (never gained training) I was employed about a month and 2 weeks, I got covid 2 weeks after starting (big fuckin bird flipped my way after 2 years) took 2 weeks to recover in that time I was still working just from home. Got paid only for the weeks I was on site, had a meeting with hr and management, got fired, got walked off the premises.
The second position I worked in was 2 months of social media management and content creation again at a small company, less pay but much mich less traffic. I “worked” (assisting my manager with day to day things) for about 3 weeks before I finally got my first training session or shown how things work there for content creators and social media managers. Then was given a big project that I told them I wasn't ready for and didn't know what to do. I was solo for the first time doing something I've never done alnone and after asking for some help from my manager she set up a meeting, it took anohther week before she got back to me, I said that I didn't get enough training then my manager let me go with this as her reason “you are strugling because you didn't pay any attention to your training and could not be bothered enough to listen to me.”. After 3 weeks of following her around like her own personal lap dog I didn't learn a single thing because she didn't give me shit to do other than writing down crap you shouldn't make physical notes of and being her own personal techie fixing shit I had no place fixing. I got paid that's all that mattered to me tho and I moved on
The third and time I was employed in web development. This was a massive break and I could finally start what I loved. I worked 3 days before I broke.
I worked for a guy, think chief wigam from the Simpsons from look to intelligence. Heck ex cop even
I missed all the red flags from my interview.
Wasn't allowed to see the office area
Was told “you're hired see you tomorrow” after interview
“Family environment”
BASED OUT OF THEIR GARAGE
I got 0 training
And they would push employees to personaly pay for things like photoshop, hosting, and the printer paper and ink
I looked over all the red flags I was just so excited to finally start working in what I worked so hard to break into back then and didn't consider why they had that position on and off so much.
I worked 3 days
Day1: got given a project to finish, worked all day got it almost finished. Showed the boss he liked it
Day 2: continued to work on design improving abd fixing everything. Showed boss abd he told me I should be done (was given a week before I would have had to have a launch ready site)
Day 3: boss harps on my conduct (refused to work at home after 5, calls me dirty(had some dog hairs on me) and shits on my design skill calling me a child
I quit half way through day 3 and as I left 2 others followed
I job jumped because of the toxicity and limitations employees are forced to work under only to realize entry level and graduate positions are just there to get inexperienced workers to accept inhumane pay for the possibility of a better job next year
Edit: fourth place was just labor pay was shit but management and team were cool I was just a part timer for 2 months
