Worst job you ever had?

[spitfire]

Ok, for the one's a little older in here, we've probably gone through a lot of jobs in our younger years before getting something good. What do you consider the worst job you ever had was?

For me, I was deticketing stuff in boxes so new price tags could be put on them. We are not talking about 1-2 boxes, but containers of it. I was 17 years old.

kids these days have it very different.

When I was a teenager, I would get screamed at constantly at a job I had, but jobs were scarce so you put up with it. If we werent working fast enough or on time, or moving fast enough, or sometimes for no reason at all, the manager would yell like crazy at me or us.

that sucked, but was not the worst job i had.

the worst job was somewhat recent, before I opened my current business, I owned a construction company specializing in concrete work. I had employees, but i still had to do a lot of it myself. back breaking, long hours, sometime I would sleep in y truck for a couple hours a night on long jobs... almost killed me.

**** concrete

I didn`t do this for long, but had a job making boxes. This was not what I did all my shift but for a good 2-3 hours at a time some days. Would think of the Simpson`s episode where they visited the box factory whille doing this to help amuse my mind.

The other I did kind of recenlty and was being a personal trainer. Did not even make $300 a week, I was constantly being told what`s what by fat out of shape people and when there was nothing to do they made me clean equipment (talk about humiliating) and call clients on the phone to see if they needed any extra services. Every six weeks they have these fund raisers for various causes and I had to go on the floor and ask if they wanted to donate any money. And every 10 minutes we had to go on the floor and in our head count all the clients and the number of people we talked to then note it down on a piece of paper. Every ****in 10 minutes... I used to have a spliff ready for me in my jacket to spark as soon as I got out of that dump. I was desperate for a job that`s why I worked there as the class I was taking I had droped out of. Another one of my life`s failures...

Construction.

Arrived in Canada and some morons told e that you could make "good money" in construction. I got a job as a labour in carpentry during winter: I though that I'd learn as much as possible them during summer when everything would be alright I'd be able to make "good money".

I was caring 2X4's in -20C sometimes it was so cold that I couldn't feel pain in my toes anymore. I wasn't unionized therefore the guy that hired me ended up not paying me for almost 6 weeks when i finally left for mansory.

The work was tougher mentally than physically as in every company that I worked there where jerks (specially the foremen) $$$$ was up and down, I got fed up, depressed and bla bla bla.

I studied during the evening and got my ACE PT started working as a PT.

My last job was by far the worst.

After two and a half years of busting my ass, going out of my way making sure everything was good to go, earning their trust, I was still treated like a piece of shit. Small company, and when it was time to hire on some help in the office (which I had been asking for for over a year) they hired some dumb irritating lesbo with zero knowledge of the inner workings of the company instead of someone who's been there for over two years and knows everything about it.

Driving 8 hours/day downtown Toronto, needlessly tight deadlines sometimes having me go back and forth to either ends of the city numerous times in a day, boss treating me like a retard, riding the TTC constantly to get to the cars. Winters sucked the worst having to service the cars.

**** them and the retarded donkey they rode in on. I'm glad to be free from that hell. I was the most stressed out I've ever been in my life and my blood pressure reflected that. I also ended up taking my stress out on drugs and drinking to get away from it which really ****ed me up for a year.

Feelin much better these days.

Manufacturing drill pipe on an assembly line, I cant think of a single thing I liked about that job. Pay sucked, co-workers were crackheads and you had to work indoors in a drill pipe factory wearing coveralls and depending on your station rubber rain gear... glad I only stayed a week.

I worked when I was 17yrs as a labour for a guy who bulit rockwalls. my god this sucked some of the rocked weighted up to 300lbs movies 20 or soo a day plus all the digging killed me.. I was easting 9 sandwicthed a day plus shakes and snacks and still was losing muscle

[juggybuggy]

when I was 19 I got a job as a labourer on a large construction site, I was assigned the uneviable task as site janitor. so everyday I had to clean the lunchrooms, offices, and shitters. being a janitor might not be a bad job, but being a janitor for 300+ dirty construction workers sucked ass.
I lasted 9 days.
