Worst job out there ??

Friend of mine works in facebook, moderating beheadings and child porn. It's destroying her. Terrible hours.

Twink’s PR people?

I wouldn't say "worst job" but a tough job that takes a tough person underneath.

A nurse in all types, old folks/A&E/Home help special needs etc...

Fire Department... car accidents and rescue, putting out fires is the easy part id say.

A corner shop/chipper or a Garda that has to work in a rough area. They have to put up with some scumbags its unreal.


The ol site Labourers can have it hard too.

A friend of mine worksi n a chicken processing plant , hes management level but started at 17 years after leaving school, hes pushing 50 now having worked their all his adult life. Married his childhood sweetheart too who also worked in the factory too.
Apparently there 70 million plus chickens processed in Ireland yearly and over 350 chicken processing plants according to him.

There are no more jokes to torment him with , though in a drunken moment recently he was asked if the chicken in snack boxes was from the same chicken.

Moderator of the “Current Affairs” forum.

Cleaning out the phone box size toilets you'd find at a music festival.

No that's a shoit job;)

Kinda think secondary teaching is up there at the moment, damned if they do, damned if they don’t.
Pay not like it was years ago, practically a full time counselor, stats on everything, slated by parents as little Jonnie is not doing well.. little Jonnie could never actually be a little **** head.
Was nosing in a school/parenting group thing a while back and the amt of posts of ‘go in there and give them hell, how dare they speak to my child like that..... stuff of nightmares’

Crime scene cleaner, can’t imagine the horrific stuff those people have to see and clean, awful.

I know a guy who does it. Not good at all. You don't get much out of him, but his son spoke a bit once; not nice. Son not involved anymore after that. Not that there's any secrets or anything, just got cut off over explaining about the state one scene was in that they'd to clean.

Two men were killed by fumes a few years ago - they went down a manhole of human sewage to identify a problem. Its hard to imagine wading through human filth for a living with no guaranteed pension, state benefits or guaranteed income.

Firemen. Imagine running INTO an inferno for a living. Or having to crawl in the dark throuhh flames and burning plastic to try and find a child before it dies. And then having to try and get out with it or recussitate or treat it after you crawl from the flames. Has the new government improved their faulty unreliable breathing apparatus and lack of equipment issues? No. Nor proper salaries nor emotional nor psychological support.

Gaurd - in many cases having to be polite to total scumbags and lying knackers for fear of a complaint against them or their free legal aid laywer. Few years ago some scobies laywer sued because of what the gaurds said about his client on tape when he was not there - and won on the grounds that his feelings would have been hurt had he heard the comment. ffs. HOW are they expected to win the war on criminal scum?

Trumps PR agency. No job stability and endless hours.

+ 1 for that poor girl modding on FB - no money is worth the mental damage that would do to you.

Teachers union always have to claim they have it bad, I remember the fella Hawe did what he did and a comment here said it shows what pressure teachers are under.

Let the kids wear coats if the windows are open. Pass Irish isnt more important than having a warm childhood.

That's not actually Facebook though is it but an outsourced service centre?

That's a crazy job. I heard they do all sorts of personality tests in the interview process. Just to make sure the candidate isn't actually a pedo wanting to look at child porn legally. I no somebody working in that Facebook position aswell. You would need a strong personality to just switch off after work I'd imagine after the crazy stuuf they see.

A one armed brick layer with an itchy arse.

I was offered one of those positions about a year ago, and turned it down. I say “offered”: I would have had to interview as normal, but I doubt that would have mattered. It would have been for the South Africa region, since I speak Afrikaans, and I took an hour to think about it before politely telling them “hell, no”. That was before I read articles about it.
