However, she stated that the much-needed guidance was never received and that the founder hardly checked her messages when she needed help.

How's social media reacting?

Social media users have flooded the comment section of the video. One user commented, "You're so strong, girl," and another wrote, "All the best kid! Way to go."

The third comment read, "This happened with me as well. Not within 3 days, but somewhat within 2 months! When I showed my finished task, the employer used to say I was wasting his time. When he used to give me a task, I wanted to explain what I understood about the job and what I is expected from me, and if I misunderstood any part, then he used to say I am complicating things. One day I just said I am confused myself what I am doing here. I quit."
