You would screw over a company just because they made you do an undesirable job for exactly one day? Obviously the test works.

That's a bit of a catch-22, isn't it? "Wow, you hate our company. I'm glad we made you hate us so we could find out." Note: an unnecessary undesirable job.

Not to mention he's not screwing a company, he's leaving a contract under established terms after discovering an incompatibility. When you screw up and get fired, you don't really get to say "I'm glad I screwed up before you had the chance to fire me."

The company with such "tests" deserves it. I'd say it must be more of some creepy pleasure for the boss to ask that more than any test.
