is it wrong to hate my job less than a week into starting it?

Yes, you should be grateful to have a job!!!

:pac:

Yes you ungrateful sod.

It's a little faster than average but but it's perfectly natural.

No different to hating it after a year or a decade.. better in many ways.

Depends on the job really.

If your job involves getting cavity searched on a daily basis, I think it's right to hate your job after only a few days.

Not at all

FFS

Everybody hates their job when they start. That's why you get paid.

On the plus, this is a good opportunity to develop an alcohol problem

If it's a job you really detest,
Make sure your issues are addressed,
But if you give it a real go,
Your enjoyment may grow,
And staying there might be best.

Nah, hating your job is part of the human condition. Wait a while till you start hating your workmates, the crap jokes, getting up in the morning , the commute.
Welcome to adulthood

Only joking, some of the best laughs you'll have will be work related, just give it some time chief.

No I would say this is pretty normal as I know with every new job Ive ever had I hated the first week. Its the case of being the new girl/boy, you dont really know anyone yet, you dont know your way around the place and your still getting to grips with all the work especially if its something completely different to what you did previously

I would say it takes at least a month or so untill you really start feeling comfortable and than about a year after that you start hating it again for completly different reasons

Ive just started a new job last week and yeah not so sure I like it much yet as its pretty darn boring! Its all training at the moment so I know it will get better just got to wait out that first month :cool:
