My first day was sitting for 8 hours abandoned in a cubicle because my new boss forgot to put in the new hire requests for IT. No user, no email, no nothing. Only reason I had a laptop at all was because they happened to find an old one in a drawer.
This was my first month and a half one time
I had a job where that happened, but I was fortunate enough that they called me before I left to head to them. (It was a long drive.)
Every morning they called to say "I'm sorry, we haven't been able to get your account setup yet. Can you come in tomorrow instead?"
That lasted for a week. The last day I didn't even bother to get ready because I figured they'd be doing the same thing and just starting me the next Monday. It was a risk but it all worked out.
