Should I quit my job after only 3 weeks ?

Hello, first post on Reddit :).

I live in the south of France, I'm a 22 year-old male who's still living at my parents' house, so no rent to pay.

For information I am a seasonal worker in the south of France, I have already had several companies interested in hiring me for 4 or 6 months in 2023, so I will find work within 2 months at most.

I was hired as a receptionist in a hotel 10 minutes away from my home.

​

The interview went very well, it lasted more than an hour and I was promised things. A rotating schedule, a fixed salary payment date and also 3 days off per week.

​

I started 3 weeks ago and it was a cold shower.

​

I was told several times that I was taking too long to manage the reservation files.

I was asked to clean the rooms even though I am not a housekeeper.

I am also responsible for unclogging the sinks and toilets if they are clogged.

Finally, if I am asked, I have to weed the small garden of the hotel and also clean the swimming pool.

​

Until then I could manage it, after all you don't leave a permanent job like that, especially at the moment.

​

Since 2 days I got my schedule for the coming year, I work every weekend from 1pm to 10pm, I never work in the morning although it was not planned.

I was supposed to be paid 5 days ago and it's still not the case...

My colleague and I found microphones behind the office.

Of course I'm not paid more if I work on weekends or on pubic holidays.

My boss doesn't pay the bills of the companies that give the food and drinks we give to the customers, in results multiple times a week we have the police calling us to talk to our boss.

​

And finally, my colleague whom I loved and who also saw what was wrong in this job tells me that she will leave in 1 month.

I will be alone with my boss to manage the reception.

4 people left in 4 months because the atmosphere was bad. My agency doesn't send anyone there anymore because everyone is leaving for "depression".

​

I was very happy to have a permanent job not far from home and to get out of the seasonal system where I work 6 months and I am unemployed for the next 6 months.

I am still in my trial period so I can leave whenever I want, I have 3 weeks left before it ends.

After this date I will have to leave a 2 months notice and I think that no other employer will wait for me 2 months if he wants to hire me immediately.

Each time that I tell this to one of my friends or family members they all tell me that I should leave before being locked-up for 2 more months...

​

Td;rl: Many red flags at work, should I leave?
