Bob is entering his first day on the job at Trope Co. Industries. He expects to spend the first few days getting his feet wet, learning what his responsibilities are, getting to know his co-workers. And before he can really get settled in, all hell breaks loose. Criminals break in and take hostages. Massive equipment failures. Aliens invade. War breaks out. Demons from Hell. They run out of coffee and can't get more until tomorrow. Bob then either takes up responsibility for dealing with the crisis or the responsibility is already part of their job. No guarantees they're up to the challenge. In many cases, the first day takes up the entire story, resulting in a work with an Extremely Short Timespan. Distinct from It Never Gets Any Easier, in that this is clearly not part of the routine. Compare with Workplace Horror and New Job Episode. Contrast Retirony ("last day from hell"). |

Head Office: Jack Issel's first day as a PR employee at a big corporation begins with the executive he was supposed to job shadow having been fired for getting caught insider trading (and later jumping to his death out of the window in front of Jack), the man who he was being reassigned to job shadow dying of a heart attack right before they reach his office and a third potential supervise abruptly being sidelined after everyone finds out he's Secretly Dying. Then, once Jack finally gets settled in an office, before the morning is over a group of protestors throw hair removal cream n him, and a second group of protestors dump a sperm whales liver on his desk and then harpoon it, splattering Jack with blood. When a third protestor (who he ends up falling in love with) arrives, he instinctively dives for cover when she yanks something out, although it turned out she was just taking out a petition. | |

Danger Zone One: Reena's first day as an officer in Pallad City involves her trying to bring down a rampaging power suit. Given that the comic's first seven chapters take place within the same week, in story, it's more like "First Seven Days From Hell." | |

School example instead of career example, but in The Secret World of Alex Mack, the eponymous heroine's first day at junior high winds up being one of these (bullies, embarrassment in front of a handsome boy, the usual culprits), culminating in the GC-161 accident that both grants Alex her powers and sets the CEO of Paradise Valley Chemical, Danielle Atron, on her trail for the entire series. | |

The summer school class finds that Ms. Walsh, who normally teaches special ed, expects them all to study by themselves instead of teaching them, leaving the whole class wondering how they're supposed to pass.

Resident Evil Abridged Played for laughs at Richard's expense, whose first assignment with S.T.A.R.S. involves surviving a helicopter crash, then being pursued by a ravenous pack of zombified Dobermans, and finally ending up trapped in the Spencer Mansion. Except it's teeming with monsters that are even worse than the ones outside. It only gets worse for him from there. It's downplayed in Rebecca's case, since she already suffered most of her hardships during the train incident, which was hours before she arrived at the mansion. Though she still ends up being cornered by a Hunter and would've been killed had Chris not arrived in time to save her. |

Resident Evil: Resident Evil 2: Leon Kennedy's first day with the Raccoon City PD is the day of another T-Virus outbreak. In Resident Evil 4, Leon's first day as a Secret Service agent isn't much better, though he's at least better prepared for it. And in Resident Evil 6, one of the minor characters in Tall Oaks is a young cop on his first day of the job. He's less lucky than Leon was. Happens to Rebecca Chambers in Resident Evil 0. Her first mission involves fighting the very first T-Virus outbreak. As The Medic she's distinctly more overwhelmed than rookie cop Leon but fortunately she gets to share the ordeal with Billy Coen, former marine. After she lies to her superior, Enrico, about not finding Billy, she bitterly remarks on the state of affairs. Resident Evil: Revelations 2 continues the tradition with Moira Burton getting kidnapped from her first-day welcome party for her new job at TerraSave. |

Downplayed in Melody with the start of the protagonist's job as Melody's tutor. The protagonist needs to contend with Melody's attitude and her general reluctance to be studying during the summer as well as actually conveying what he knows. Still, Melody grits her teeth and sits through her first lesson to humor Amy, who is paying for the lessons. | |

In Persona 5, your first day at school involves you getting lost and wandering into the physical manifestation of a serial rapist's distorted view of the school he works at, nearly getting killed by the physical manifestation of said rapist's dark side and his minions several times over, and finally escaping only to discover that your (wrongful) criminal record has been exposed to the rest of the student body and you're going to be a social pariah for the rest of the school year. | |

B.J. Hunnicutt's first day at the 4077th MASH is pretty rough. He's an accessory to a general's jeep being stolen, gets attacked by guerrillas while changing a flat tire, gets caught in a mortar attack, and has to watch a girl be wounded by a landmine and taken to a crude field hospital. This is just between the airport and the 4077th. It's notable that the last stop they make before finally getting to the camp is a bar. | |

Janice of Come from Away has a really rough go of it her first day as a reporter for Gander's local news station. She's new to town, so she doesn't know anybody... and her first day of work is 9/11. And Gander ends up receiving 7,000 passengers from grounded flights who wind up taking refuge in the town. Janice is obviously overwhelmed the entire time, but she does an admirable job documenting everything and getting interviews, and her footage ends up being highly coveted, as she's the only reporter present at this massive historical event. She ends up getting a job offer from a huge station after they see her work, but she decides to stay in Gander. | |

Integral to the first two games in the Danganronpa series. Fifteen (first game) or sixteen (second) high school students show up at the prestigious Hope's Peak high school, a place meant to hone "talented" individuals into the next generation of leaders in their fields. Then the world goes screwy and next thing they know they wake up locked in the school with no idea how (first game) or are transported to an island by a talking Magical Girl rabbit plushie (second) and soon after forced into a killing game by a black and white talking bear plushie named Monokuma. Subverted, however as they actually have had their memories wiped of their time as students and The End of the World as We Know It and it's actually a few years after their first day. | |

She's tasked with holding a crewman's exposed heart and manually pumping it until Doctor T'Ana can find time to come deal with it properly. When asked about it later, however, she's genuinely thrilled that she got to hold a heart. | |

Dredd: Cassandra Anderson's final exam to become a Judge results in her spending a day being trapped in a skyscraper being hunted by hundreds of gangers in the pay of a sadistic drug lord. Of course, to her evaluating officer, the legendary Joe Dredd, it was just another drug bust. | |

In Men in Black, Jay becomes involved in a plot to save the galaxy within his first day or so. While Kay *tells* him that It Never Gets Any Easier, that's hard to believe, and what we see of daily life for MiB does make it seem constantly crazy, but not always as high-stakes as when the bug was pursuing the galaxy. Made even worse by the fact that Jay learns the organization works off 37 hour days, so his first day on the job is much longer than expected. |

In Deus Ex, on the night JC Denton joins UNATCO, the NSF attacks a shipment of plague vaccines, and the first few missions of the game consist of pursuing the vaccine and ultimately confronting the NSF leader, apparently all on the same night. Before long, JC Denton ends up going rogue and leaving to fight the conspiracy behind UNATCO. On his way out, Jaime Reyes offers him an augmentation upgrade that was supposed to be a welcome aboard gift, but ends up being a going-away present. | |

Doom³: Downplayed. You've just arrived on Mars, where you're soon after tasked with retrieving a lost scientist by your CO, and just when you find said scientist, all hell breaks loose—literally. Ghostly skulls fly out of a portal and began zombifying people, including the guy you were supposed to retrieve, who you're forced to kill. From then on, you fight through dozens of zombies and demons, and later discover that the invasion was caused by a Mad Scientist who works at the base you're assigned to. It's a pretty long first day. Happens again in the expansion pack Resurrection Of Evil, where you're part of a team investigating a faint signal on Mars. You touch an ancient artifact, and your teammates are vaporized as hell once again breaks loose. Of note is that you started the invasion this time. |

The Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers: As Springer warns new recruits going in, sometimes your first day in the Wreckers is also your last. For the four new recruits, their first day involves having to break into a prison taken over by a sociopathic supersoldier. Two of them die, one getting their brains blow out and the other torn limb-from-limb, while the third suffers a bad case of Break the Cutie. The fourth gets torn in half, but he was already not right in the head, having only joined the team for a chance to kill Kup. | |

Akiba Maid War: A double dose for poor Nagomi: After a rough first day at Oinky Doink Cafe (during which she discovers being a maid isn't nearly as fun and glamorous and she imagined), she and fellow "rookie" maid Ranko are sent to deliver a message to a rival cafe. A "delivery" that quickly devolves into Nagomi watching Ranko bloodily gun down the rival's entire roster. It gets worse for Nagomi from there. | |

Ace Attorney: Mia Fey's very first case has her getting within a hair's breadth of actually managing to get her client acquitted... then he commits suicide on the witness stand. Miles Edgeworth's first case doesn't fare any better. He's about to take up the prosecution after the prosecutor he is replacing is accused of wrongdoing, then both the defendant and the previous prosecutor get murdered before the trial even resumes, and Franziska shows up and whips him a lot. Since the trial never resumes, his actual first case is the same as Mia's, above. While not necessarily his first day on the job, in Phoenix's second case, his own mentor gets murdered, he gets nearly destroyed in the courtroom by his childhood friend, and right as he was about to get a lead on the actual culprit, he gets accused of the murder. In Apollo Justice's first trial, he gets trolled a lot by his client, Phoenix Wright, and ends up accusing his own mentor, Kristoph Gavin, and proving with forged evidence that he committed the murder Wright was accused of, leaving poor Apollo out of a job. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies goes on to elaborate that he took this fairly hard, but his Childhood Friend encouraged him not to give up. |

The Suburban Jungle's sequel comic, Rough Housing: Charity's first day as manager of The Rough House has her find out the place is a ramshackle dump, most of the employees work for room and board in lieu of pay and the only thing keeping the place afloat is a weekly free-for-all (highly illegal) barfight... Which happens to be that night.context Charity was given the job by her uncle, as a favor. Neither had set eyes on the place before. For her uncle, Leonard, it was just another investment property. | |

Babylon 5: Delenn's first day as a full member of the Minbari Grey Council was the day the Minbari encountered the Earth ship Prometheus. An encounter that resulted in the botched first contact-turned-battle that killed Delenn's mentor, Dukhat, and sparked the Earth/Minbari War. Worse - Delenn casts the deciding vote in whether to go to war, as Dukhat dies in her arms. She spends much of the rest of her life making up for one rushed decision made while still reacting to her mentor's sudden death. Lyta Alexander is the station's first certified Commercial Telepath. Her first day on the job involves an assassination attempt on the Vorlon ambassador, her having to scan the alien ambassador's mind to find who the killer was, and ending up falsely accusing the station's commander as a result of what she was mislead to see in the scan. She gets transferred off the station soon after the incident. Captain Sheridan arrives on the station and has what is, by the standards of B5, a relatively sedate example, as a rogue Minbari warship attempts to goad him into firing the first shots of a new war between Earth and Minbar (Sheridan was a hero of the previous war, which ended under very odd and unexplained circumstances). Captain Lochley's first day as station commander involves a plot to assassinate newly-inaugurated President Sheridan (making this a two-fer, given that it's Sheridan's first day in that job as well, though he's hardly new to the insanity that is life on Babylon 5). |
