You are likely seeing "provisional" ratings. Folks just getting started will see some wild swings in ratings.

If, however, ratings get you upset, then yes you will want to leave chess.com or at least play unrated chess. It is, after all, just a game.

Perhaps their rating was provisional?  If it was it could change quite fast.

Edit: EricFleet beat me to it.
