Months 1-3: hey he’s new, just getting used to things
Months 4-6: he’s not good, but maybe trainable?
Months 7-9: he needs to be on a PIP so we can CYA and fire him
Months 10-12: phase out and fire
Rinse and repeat at new companies every year for 5 years, get hired as Engineering Manager at sixth job.
Before you become a master you must make one thousand mistakes; some people choose to make the same ten mistakes a hundred times each
A thousand novel mistakes.

No you get to live. But it’s your choice to suffer.
I don't work these shitty jobs that can barely pay for my existence by choice.
This hurts
Nothing wrong with being a newbie. Be curious and willing to learn!
Depending on the pay, that's a nice little scam for someone.
When I was in my mid 20s, the only jobs nearby were basic retail work, and mostly part time. As you can probably imagine, the pay wasn't great. If remote work had been available then, I could see me being tempted to try this, even if it was just to tide me over for a while.
I'm the kind of person who hates not being able to do something, so I'd probably burn myself out trying to learn how to do the job in between working it, but it would still be tempting.
Ok now, be nice to the company leadership...
