What Is The Worst Job?, That you've had... Options

[Kiln]

I don't generally make topics but I thought of some of my worst jobs and kinda wondered what the worst job the other forum members have had. Probably the worst job I ever had was a janitorial job cleaning houses and apartments, average pay but the job just didn't fit me.

Are we counting only legal jobs? Because one or two of my worst jobs were not legal.

Out of my legitimate jobs, I'd say my worst was Burner at K-Mart. I doubt that this job even exists anymore. It consisted of sitting for eight hours a day in a small, windowless room down in the basement. In this room was myself, a chair, a furnace and a mountainous pile of cardboard boxes. All the line workers would cart their empty shipping boxes down to this room. And I would feed these empty cardboard boxes into the furnace. I would open the furnace door, shove in a box or two, close the furnace door, sit down and watch the boxes burn inside the furnace. When they were burned I would open the door again, shove in another box or two, close the door, and sit down and watch those boxes burn. The boxes had to be fed into the furnace at a very specific rate. Shove too many boxes in too fast and it would cause air pollution problems and the city would call up the store manager and the store manager would come down and give me hell. But feed boxes into the furnace too slow and the store manager would come down and yell at me because the boxes were beginning to pile up and he wanted me to speed things up.

It was not a fun job. If I hadn't been absolutely desperate for money at the time I would not have kept it.
