I would not be so critical, in that I have had a couple of jobs where I have had doubts early on, but stuck with it, and ended up exiting anyway in due course. Yes, valuable experience gained, but I might also have got that elsewhere. If you are sure you have made a mistake, better for both employer and employee to address it earlier.
I am more annoyed by the “Archers team” toying with the listeners. It was improbable that a new actor would disappear so quickly, so it was simply a case of waiting to see how and when Pip would decide to stay at Brookfield. All a bit tedious.
