What's been your Worst Job Ever?

Telemarketing/sales....cunt of a company to work for!

The worst job I ever had was in a factory when I was 16/17. I worked there for 2 summers on the factory line. It was hard work moving heavy steel boxes in and out of shakers all day long. The whole process was about 3/4 minutes long and was the same all day every day. I worked around really nasty chemicals. I hated it and got paid pretty poorly for my trouble. To top it off, the bosses there put people under stress the whole time pretty unnecessarily.
I've worked a few other jobs since and the difference is huge.

Mine was a summer job in a pork production factory and it was my job to scan the belly's and look for cancerous or odd growths and then cut them off before sending the belly to be processed.

Here was a job I had to put up with for 2 years.

I was floor staff and the only reason I kept it was to pay for college . 12 hour shifts, 1/2 hour break (which you could be called from if the place got busy), dealing with arrogant customers, the usual. You never had a day off as you could be rung by a high-up guy and be told to go in and work for 8 hours...........on your day off.

But you were so expendable that you would be fired in a second and a Polish lad would be there to take your place. I'd seen so many of my managers fired for such miniscual things like kicking a Lidl football in the warehouse. You were timed how quick you could unload an over-loaded pallete, had to keep an average of 35 items per minute scanned through your till, pack stacks of unstackable bags of carrots in such a time-frame and fashion, keep pallets lined up straight with the tiles of the floor - despite the tiles been layed down crookedly, do not talk to any person for no more than 20 seconds.

Cuz lunch was so short we were forced to buy their shìt and eat it. Problem was the microwave and kettle were Lidl products and were always broke but we were always refused to have them replaced.

A very depressing place!! I refuse to even shop in the place anymore because of the sheer lack of acknowledgement for the employees or customers, dirty German bastards!!

First job was in a play centre for children, had to cook, clean, host birthday parties, supervise play equipment, deal with narky parents, reception work etc. Nasty.

After that I worked in Clarks, measuring childrens awful smelly sweaty feet for 3 months, with a bunch of people I didn't quite get on with.

Now I work for Dunnes Stores, in the ol' footwear/lingerie dept.

Poor you, I worked for dunnes way back when...those baxtards

I had to clean/chip cement off about 10 tons of bricks. (someone miss-read the plans for a goverment building and they had to be taken up) They were Italan bricks and were quite costly. It was a crap job that lasted two weeks, but on the plus side there was no boss about and it was a nice summer.


que breaking rocks in the hot sun, I fought the law......

I worked in Dan Lowrys bar in Mosney back in the day - need I say more!!!!???

My first job was for Super Valu, about 8 years ago. The money was ****e (£3.08/hr because I was under 18), and the hours were rotten too - you'd be lucky to finish at the time you were scheduled to finish. Had no training in manual handling, and was expected to heave heavy boxes around the place, and we were also forced to wear skirts and weren't allowed to wear trousers for my first few months there. I put my back out after 3 months working there while lifting a packet of 12 1.5L bottles of Coke (bear in mind that I was a skinny 16 year old girl doing a pile of heavy lifting) - and even now it still flares up sometimes.
