An Indian man quit his job on the very first day citing a long commute from his home to his workplace as the reason.
The employee, who hails from New Delhi, said that he left his job because he felt it would be ”too much travel” for him.Â
The man said that he cannot change his home, adding that he only got three hours for himself at home apart from the sleeping hours.Â
”Got a job in a decent company with decent pay. They wanted people and hired me instantly after some rounds of interviews. I got excited as it was my first job but realized it would be too much to travel. I live in the northwest part of Delhi (Pink line) and the job was based on ‘Moulsari Avenue’,” wrote the man.Â

“I wanted the on-site exposure since I’m a hella introvert. Upon some calculations, I realised I’ll only be at home for 3 hours (considering the office work + commute). Also, it would cost around 5k monthly ka for travelling. I can’t relocate,” he explained.Â
The employee, who posted about his decision to quit the job on Reddit, also asked for suggestions from internet users. However, many netizens said that his decision was “silly” as it was a common thing.Â
