Most difficult or shittiest jobs have you worked

[KiraHarden]

What are some of the worst jobs have you done in your life?

My two worst would be

Slaughter house for two years on the kill floor and meat trimmer

Foundry worker for three years pouring molds and tig welding

[Rusty Eldora]

In college I worked one summer graveyard opening and sorting magazine subscription renewals in a mailroom. It was bad.

McDonalds - backroom (cleaning and supply).
Dressing up as a giant dragon at indoor amusement part - sweaty and stinky).
Care provider for people in last months of AIDS (literally shitty and 12 hr shifts for pennies).

Ass.Floor Manager on BBC TV which means - gopher and dogsbody to some wannabe who never fails to make it above directing one episode of daytime TV.


I try to be a better boss, based on some of the wankers I've had as bosses in the past - but there have also been some outstanding bosses whom I've gleaned a lot.

Dishwasher at a restaurant. That shit SUCKED...and I had a machine to help.

[ElectricWoody]

Working with Females.

i never had a shitty job because i was lucky enough to have a choice. i wouldn't work at a shitty job. would rather collect bottles and cans for money.

My first job was as a 'bus boy' in a Harrah's Casino restaurant in Reno. Didn't much care for that.

I spent my early days in and around music....a tough life but fun.

Then I spent 26 years in the Navy. My experience was very rewarding, or I wouldn't have stayed that long. Long hours, party hard!!

My 2nd career was in the automotive industry, sales and management at a Chevy dealer. After 17 years, I grew increasingly tired of dealing with "know it all" morons.

Now, I'm retired - retired!! didn't make a Million bucks so, I guess I blew that one!!

Probably some of the stuff I did as a schoolkid for pocket money, or as a student to pay the rent and put food on the table.

But I always had a choice of take the money or walk away to something else, so I always felt I had that choice, and so I was the one in control.

Nice to hear from you again, Kira.

[my my my!]

I've only had 3 jobs ever, and 2 of them were pretty good.

the only one that was bordering on shitty was my very first one. I was an apprentice for custom guitar maker, and actually learned how to make guitars to a certain extent. The owner, was a actually a lazy pothead, who owned a few acres of land, where his shop was located. I would show up on time 8 am, and he was nowhere to be found, and I would be freezing my ass off outside waiting for him to finish his bong hit or whatever he was (not) doing.

aside from that, since it was a startup company, the pay was miserable, and based on commission depending on sales. since he was lazy and unmotivated, very few sales came, and i was basically broke, but all the meantime learned a very interesting trade.

My current job....working with rental and repairs. Fucking hate it! Times when the tenants can be idiots and the owners are too tight with money. Makes it worse working for a relative (they asked me to help) in the past few years I have had my pay cut twice the latest was hitting me for almost $200 a week. But yet he hires his gf while his wife the accountant is out of the country.... trust me the stories are longer and whole lot worse.

Hopefully I will be out of here soon, been turning in applications...just scared to jump somewhere else, no matter how shitty it is here I know it is a paycheck (until the next cut).
