What is the worst job you've ever worked?.....ever. (1 Viewer)

A greeter at the GAP. Ya know the girls/guys who stand near the door and say, "Hi, welcome to the Gap!" Needless to say, I didn't last very long.

oh fuck, I hated you people and i've never even set foot in a gap store. The way they call it "the Gap" as well, as if it is some esteemed institution. You should be ashamed.
 
worked in a factory that prepared cereal grains. at any given time the factory was 20-30 degrees hotter inside than out due to the pressure cookers we baked the grain in. heat exhaustion was fairly common in the summer. didn't last too long after approximately 90 55-lb bags of wheat germ fell on top of me and another guy while we were loading them into a shipping container bound for Holland, completely burying him (i thought he was a goner) and pinning my back against the forks of the forklift that was bringing us the product. fucked my back up permanently. on the bright side, buddy didn't die (i dug him out) and i wasn't paralyzed. hell job. i still have nightmares about that place 10 yrs after the fact.

I needed the money. It was awful. I got reprimanded for rolling my eyes. It was 14 years ago and this crap is still stuck in my brain.

Sweet Jesus...
 
to all factory workers-m why don't they just get robots to do this shit? It'd be cheaper for them in the long run, cost effectiveness seeming to be their be all and end all

The first day on my job i thought , why don't they just combine all these machines into one big one, instead of having me run around like a blue arsed fly feeding the fuckers.

bah

factories

:mad:

That reminds me of my J1 job in the Bubba Gump Shimp Company (a Forrest Gump theme restaurant). Not a bad place actually, I got the job by getting stoned with the manager of the place at a bar and he told me to come on down the next day.

But they had these 10 rules, I don't remember them all but one was when you got to the table you weren't to say "Hi, my name is [yourname] and I'll be your server", you were to say something original and natural sounding like "Hi, how are you".

So on my first day I went up to a table and said "Hey, how's it going?" and a little while later the guy who was training me said "you're supposed to say "Hi, how are you?" ".
 
i worked in a shoe shop for old women, a lot of them couldnt bend to try them on so id have to do it for them, uggg touching old feet.

Working in a supermarket in California, bagging groceries, or "wrapping" them, to call it by its technical name. In training we had a "wrap rap", a video with all these grocery baggers "wrapping" groceries while some rapper guy rapped a rap about wrapping.

Awful job, you had to be friendly to people. I hate that.

Another job, working in a lab in HIV immunodiagnostics. Shite pay, shite place, shite hours, boring work. I did test myself for AIDS once, out of boredom. I test negative, which was a plus.
 
I worked scanning articles from newspapers and magazines for a couple of months, it was extremely fucking tedious. The people were nice though.

I came to hate every job I ever had, they all ended up shite.

I nearly went mad working for the county council though. Seven years of people giving out to me on the phone because their 'refuge' hadn't been collected and working with pricks.

I nearly became an alcoholic.

Oh, wait....
 
door to door sales! 'selling' Concern sponsorships.

ten hours a day knocking on doors (including saturdays)

it was such a soul destroying job that when you got back to the office at the end of the day, the employers would try and make it fun by saying "juice by you" to each other and having weird ceremonys like:

if you got 8 sales - You got to ring a bell in the middle of the room!
ten sales - you got to wear a special pair of shades and high five everyone in the room!

every friday they would take turns to go out to the main street and scream " Thank crunchy its friday" even though we had to work saturdays, always thought that was odd.

I once saw the bare feet of one of the guys who had worked there for 2 years and they looked like they ahd been attacked by lump hammer with herpes

I was 19 and foolish. God, the more i think back on it the more it sounds like a cult! if anyone left the job, no matter how long they were there, they were never mentioned again.EVER
 
nope, i had grown some sense by the time they came along

Hard Rock Cafe was my second worst job. Rules included:

You cant call your manager the manager, they are 'the rocker'

Your pad you write your orders down on isnt called a pad, oh no, its your 'buddy pad'!

You have to pay for your staff meals

You have to talk to the customers in such a nauseating and cheesey way;
'"Hi im X, your server, my favourite thing on the menu is definately the Bowl of Hairy AIDS, mmmm its finger likin good!"
I would have nearly preferred to felate the fuckers

And then, when its busy, they will suddenly play YMCA, and you have to drop what your doing and dance, while the cocktail servers do a family friendly strip tease on the bar.

Left after one day, to the amazement of my brainwashed 'Rocker'. It was minimum wage, I wouldnt have done that shit for 100 an hour. probably.

wow :(
 
anyone ever been a chugger? If so, fuck you.
nearly.

i couldnt go in today. couldnt face being abused by ignorant stupid old hags and not getting to sit down but once in 12 hours.
no staff room. everyone's a bollox. fucking horrible. id rather move home to Dublin than work this job. shocking.
starting the biggest piece of shit job in a bingo / casino hall in a dodgy shopping centre in south london at the age of 26 was so despairing.. a woman was giving out to me yesterday while spiting icecream she was eating all down my tie, bint.
 
I worked in a nursing home for four years. It wasn't bad - a lot less soul destroying than what I do now. I did have to push a patient's rectal prolapse back in once though.
 
Anyone ever do deli work? I usually just work in the shop on the tills at weekends (dead easy, shite pay but I get to play whatever music I want and I work with a friend) but before I left for here I was in the deli for 2 months. My god that was tough. The place needs at least 4 people to run the deli well but it really had 2.5 people..
