What is the worse job you ever had?

Question

What was so bad about it?

I was once an assistant for someone and the guy treated me like crap, so I quit when I had had enough of his BS.

Answer 1

hmmm..that is a hard one...
when I was in high school I worked in a catering hall - the work itself was fine and the money was good, however my co-workers were all racist and sexist and very mean people..all the latinos worked as dishwashers or somewhere else where they could not be seen...there were no one else but white people, once when a chinese american worked they all talked **** about him and made him so uncomfortable he never came back...
and they would say the most ignorant things when there were black guests...
I was angry a lot there and eventually I had to leave...

Answer 2

I survived three summers at a camp, mainly washing dishes (by hand in a kitchen with inside temperatures in the 80's and 90's much of the time!) and helping with meal prep, but also doing everything from mopping floors to cleaning restrooms and once even mucking horse stalls.

Working at camp was dirty, demanding work but I met some very wonderful, caring people. Another upside was that the kids adored us! I don't know why ANYONE would look up to someone who wiped the peanut butter off their butter knives (yuck!), but because they had fun there, they thought that anyone on staff had the "coolest" job imaginable.

People problems seem to contribute much to the "crumminess level" of a job, eh?

Answer 3

For one week, my former superintendent assigned me to a middle school in Louisiana. It was horrible. The kids were just awful. I was on duty by the soda machines. We had to stand there and watch the smaller kids drink their sodas or the bigger kids would take them from them. I had to walk down the halls and stop the bigger kids from slamming small kids into the lockers. It was like a war zone. That was my first year of teaching and each night I got on my knees and ask the Lord to get me out of there or I would not be a teacher long. At the end of the week, I got my transfer to the high school and have been teaching for 19 years...this coming year will be number 20 for me. I love what I do now...can't imagine being at a middle school or junior high, though.

Answer 4

I have had many jobs over the past years, but I never had a job I didn't like. Most of the jobs were kinda crappy, but I worked hard and got paid so that kept me from being unhappy.

I have worked along side lots of other kids who hated the job and they just really wanted to get paid for doing nothing. Thankfully, I am not like that. I think working a crummy job is better than not working at all.

Answer 5

Camp CIT for the 3-7 year olds. Oh my goodness graciousness. Every two minuted I was making a trip to the bathroom. And the pay was unbelievable, 94 cents an hour. 6 cents per kid/hour! I'd like to see a babysitter get paid 6 cents, and take as good care of the kids as I did.

Answer 6

A Waitress. There is no harder or more demanding job in the world (other than being a stay at home mom of course, but that is the best job because it is so rewarding). No amount of money is worth the abuse a waitress puts up with.

Answer 7

I was a garment worker about 35 years ago. We were sewing little kid's fuzzy coats in a building that had been a garage. It was 110 degrees in the building with little fuzzies floating through the air. If they didn't stick to you, you inhaled them. I was laid off 10 times in 12 months. The last time they called me back, it was for a day and they laid me off again. I never went back.

Answer 8

I was receptionist for this small company once, they didn't allow me to have a lunch break, I had to eat and answer phones, if someone called in, I had to quickly swallow my bite and then answer the phone b/c everyone else was too lazy to. They once also said I was stupid to my face. Thank god I quit!

Answer 9

The worst ... telemarketer. Trying to convince strangers during their dinner hour to buy a condo in Whistler. It was so humiliating!!! I quit after the first night. Like I really want to try scamming people and P them Off. I don't think so.

Answer 10

The newspaper route. When I was running late, sometimes the older people would be waiting in front of their house at 4:00 A.M. for their paper. They would yell at me "you're late again, I'll just have to report you to you're supervisor." God that job sucked. And it put at least 1,500 miles on my car every week.
