Yes. I started looking for a new job a week after starting.

There were numerous issues right off the bat, including no budget to build out what the hired me for. At about 6 months after several rounds of telling the CEO that the project was not working (his concept was flawed), I was told my salary was going to be cut 28%. Two days later I emailed my resignation letter and walked out. He subsequently fired the other person on the project and tried to get me to come back. Ha! Took 3 months to find my next job, but it definitely worked out. This will likely be my last job unless my current employer realizes how incompetent I am!

Any of you ever spontaneously quit a job before? If so, how'd it go down?
