I got a new job on Monday working at a warehouse. They introduced me and showed me around and I was generally happy to be there because of the company name. I asked specifically what exactly it is that I would be doing and he told me I'd be working in the so and so area. So I started working and everything was going fine. I wasn't slow and I wasn't making too many mistakes for my first day. I was pretty comfortable and everyone thought my performance was pretty good.

Anyway on Tuesday the manager moves me over to a different area I never saw coming. I couldn't adapt quick enough and I felt very out of place. The manager noticed this and he pulled me aside and said "we've had a few complaints about you. People are saying you're slow as shit and you can't keep up" I was pretty offended but I told him I wasn't doing it on purpose and that I was doing the best I could. I mentioned that "I believe I was performing better over in the other area" and he said "No. You're either going to do this or you're going to quit"

So I stuck it out for a few days and it really wasn't working out for me. I knew I'd never be good at that job and it was pretty bad for my back too. So I told him it wasn't going to work out and I signed the form to quit.

I just generally feel really bad about the whole situation and I think he thought i'd really fit in there but I couldn't, I really hated who I was even after 3 days.

What do you guys see about this situation?
