‘Unprofessional’ Designer Quits On First Day Because Boss Asked Them To Steal Art For CEO’s Side Business

During the interview process, it is possible to overlook obvious red flags. Sometimes the interviewer is utterly dishonest about what you can expect in your new position. Then, once you begin working, you are confronted with the horrifying reality of what you have just agreed to but there is always a choice and the best thing to do is to walk away and avoid the losing game that is the “sunk cost fallacy.” If you decide to do so because you have that feeling in your stomach, you will be doing everyone a favor.

That’s exactly what the graphic designer did after being misled during the interview process. When she arrived on her first day, she discovered that the company did not have any of the high-profile clients they had boasted about, and she was informed that she would also be working for the business owner’s “side-hustle,” which involved stealing small artists’ work to place on t-shirts.

That’s when graphic artist Redditor u/OminousAvocado realized she had to leave. Despite being duped, she sent a very respectful email to her new boss informing him of her resignation, and his response “reaffirmed” all of her doubts, and decided to leave.

So keep on scrolling down below and read this whole drama by yourself and make sure you watch it till the end.

1. No you shouldn’t be ashamed of yourself, all you did was walk out of the interview because you weren’t comfortable with the mod of job.

2. Redditors always make sure that you get the best response

3. That’s how you handle the situation professionally

4. There’s really no in between

5. And this was the E-mail

6. No you shouldn’t be ashamed of yourself period

7. OP’s got a dignity that won’t be compromised

8. They are people with no morale

9. No one should steal someone’s art for god sake

10. What is this, sarcasm?

11. Someone here talking facts

12. You should always know when to quit

13. Some best advice for the OP

People can be so selfish for their own interests that they try to pilfer other art and target others, especially those small artists that can’t afford to file a lawsuit. This is really sad and yeah there are people like this out there. What OP did was highly professional and the most sound thing one should have done. One should always know when to quit and when the job is not right for you, one should know that they are one hundred percent obliged to walk out of the job if one wants to.
