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.

likewise, I did janitorial work. $25/hr, isn't bad but you can only clean so many houses a day. it got old way fast. Especially when you have to clean places like palette factories, where everything is covered in 1/2" of sawdust, and the company wouldn't pay to get their floors bufered and a new layer of varnish put down, so the beige linoleum was basically a dull gray/black, and not even soaking it in pure ammonia would dislodge the dirt.

Phone salesman... one word, Don't do it... oh well three words then..

Sitting in a basement dialing numbers to people who all they want is live their life and NOT being bothered by some fake-kind attitude that tries to sell them stuff they really don't want nor need isn't the best job I've had..
And the worst thing, no succesfull sales = no pay.

Just thought I'd necro this thread and see if anybody around here wanted to chime in about their most loathed jobs.

It has been quite a while since I created this theead so my most hated job has changed. I worked for Glad manufacturing as a temporary employee for two and a half years.

The factory was hot all year round and the full time employees treat you like crap because you're considered disposable. You get to stack cases of trash bags for 12 hours straight four days per week and get paid about $8.00 per hour. The job isn't horribly demaning physically but the environment is depressing and the other temp employees are miserable.

Out of more than 70 temporary employees, I was there longer than any other temp after about a year and a half because everyone else had quit and been replaced. I hated working for Staffmark at Glad because you got treated like human garbage and were constantly reminded where the door was if you didn't like something.

Oh and the icing on the cake? You miss more than three days in around six months and you're gone. No sick time and you get three days of vacation per year.

So? Anybody else want to rant about a crappy job?

What do you mean?

I used to be a mall security guard. It was horrible

People scream at you when you tell them they are breaking the rules, and I once got a hotdog thrown at me, a lost little girl puked on me, and a dog peed on my shoe!

Because?

I don't know. The job I have isn't difficult. It's very easy. Except for the customers. and the mnagement. And the cashiers who never listen.

And the shoplifters...money problems...the fact that I don't get paid enough to eat half the time.... OH! we cn't take breaks, either. We're supposed to, but if the lines get long, there's no one else to help the cashier from getting mauled by customers. So, if we're there for a 13+ hour shift, the longest break we get is long enough to sit down, use the bathroom, and walk back.
