the reason i know this is fake: that didn't happen and people don't generally start new jobs on tuesday.
Starting day is whatever the first working day of the month is.
wut. really? is that an american thing?
nope. That's the way it works in Germany.
What's the other option?
starting on monday?
Idk that may work for retail, or corporate if you're unemployed. Otherwise I'd suspect something is off with the company/job if they're asking me to stay in Monday. Even if you're not giving a two week notice, it's usually easier for everyone to set a date, and the 1st day or the 15th works better for payroll.
I started my current job on the 13th... Of September in fact, It'll be 4 years...
