To quit new job after 3 days

Contract says marketing and sales manager. Told there are three offices and I'm
Heading the new one. I start, turns out two are just registered offices and there's only 2 staff plus me, in the 'new' one. Boss tells me to put 'business developer' as title on emails and tells me to copy & paste an email to 200 agencies offering our services. I then discover marketing is outsourced....

The email he gave me to send isn't going to work w these agencies. The job advert is still up even though I started last week. Is it ok to quit whilst applying for other stuff. Or is it better to stay until next thing comes up? Thanks

Never quit until you find something else, unless you are seriously jeopardising your physical or mental health. Take the wage do the nonsense he asks, spend as much time as you can applying for other things.

Thanks! I just see this backfiring as 'haven't done my job', it I have told him what I'm emailing out will not work

They're paying you (I hope?!).

Do as you're told Look for something else, interview elsewhere but never tell them until you have to.

Can I return to your old job?

Honestly I'd be looking, and pulling my new firm up in the job description

@flumpybear it's been a few years since I had a job as such. I left marketing to start my own business (different sphere) and ran that for a few years and sold it last year for a profit and took the rest of the year off w the little one. So have had just over a year off w little one. So took this job to get back into work, albeit part time, but it's nothing like was described. I was a marketing manager for years before starting my own business.
