I was once the 6th person in a row to be hired and fired within a few days in an accounting role for a Chinese home appliance manufacturer. My onboarding consisted of a brief introduction, getting sat down with a fat stack of Amazon invoices, and given a shitty laptop with a shitty trackpad and no mouse. Nobody bothered to set up my account, so I didn't have any emails. Nobody explained how to use SAP, which I still hate for being the shittest bit of accounting / enterprise resource management software I have used, and nobody explained how the fuck to interpret the mish mash of disorganised Amazon delivery notes. I waved my predecessor goodbye as she was fired the day I started (she had been there for 2 days herself), and 2 days later I was fired myself. I am pretty sure the reason I got fired is that I left work on time, while my manager was in a meeting going on god knows how long. I had spent the whole afternoon twiddling my fingers with nothing to do, no resources, and no way to get started by myself. Good riddance. Hopefully my former manager is still hopelessly overwhelmed working 16 hour shifts to this day.
