If you’re young and early career they likely won’t think twice. Sometimes a simple “wasn’t the right fit” is satisfactory enough.

Leave out the “I hate the people” and leave in the truth of wanting more work and maybe more challenging work. Let them know you knew early but wanted to give it at least a year, which indicates patience and maturity.

“Interesting in exploring other opportunities”. If you’re wanted, no one cares. And 1 YOE at a company isn’t that bad.

If you're always on the bench I think that's a great reason! How could they not love "I want to work more" lol
