Sears. I worked in the dept that puts up the signage throughout the store and implemented the new layouts. Nothing was ever good enough....although really, that was the store manager and not the company.
I never had a really bad job. I've had some strange jobs, but they weren't all that bad. I've picked strawberries. It rained a whole lot that summer I made hardly any money. But I was 14 I had a blast anyways. I processed urine for drug tests. Not a glamorous job. But not that bad either. I worked at a collection agency. It was actually fun. I was good at that. I once had to call my friend to yell at her for not paying a phone bill. She thought I was joking! I now work for the US Postal Service. It's a very easy job that I get paid way too much to do. But it is so boring. The easy way to explain what I do is I read the crappy mail that the cameras can't. I'm being worked to death. But come summer time I'll be lucky to get 15 hours a week.
My parents made me get a job when I went to college and they signed me up to work in the cafeteria. Ew. The food there made me so sick that instead of gaining the freshman 15, I lost about 20.
Kentucky Fried Chicken. I was 15 years old and a cook. It was my job to stand in the cooler and prep the raw chicken. That meant snapping The thigh bones, folding the wings, cutting excess fat and then preping it by marinating it all before cooking. My hands ache just thinking about it.
Food Lion, but only because I got robbed and they still wouldnt let me go home. I was 16 and it was my first job and after having a gun shoved in my face I just wanted to go home to my mommy
I havn't ever really had any "Worst jobs", I liked all my jobs I have ever had! BUT, I can say I didn't like the way the Managers treat their "GOOD" workers as opposed to the "bad" one's. So that is why My jobs never last. I NEED MY OWN BUSINESS.... LOL Hitting the Lottery would be nice....... : )
Hmmm, good question. I have never worked in fast food or the usual bad jobs. I would probably have to say working as a QC Tech at a company that made sausage, bologna, etc. It was cold, damp and people always wanted to use the meat even if it was contaminated.
THis is not the "worst" but it is the most unusual.....I used to dig graves at a cemetary. When I first started I was really freaked out, but once i got the hang it, it was easy.
I worked data entry. I enjoyed the job. I typed and listened to my personal cd player all day. What was bad was the manager. It was like working in a sweat shop. Don't take your hands off the keys even to put on hand lotion! She all but had a whip to slash your back! It was the only job I ever walked out of. I finally got that mad!
Working in a clothing factory. My job was to take the garment from the person putting in the button holes, turn it right side out, line it up, and put little iridescent dots where the buttons went. So boring!
I can't decide which was worse, my first or my second job. The first was working for a local Dairy Queen where I came home every night smelling like grease. The second was as a waitress in a steak house where I came home every night smelling like grease.
I worked as a salesperson in a department store a few years ago after moving to California. I don't know how sales people do it. The customers could be so abusive at times.
You may have gotten this in your email before... but anyways...
When you have an "I hate My Job" day, try this. On your way home from work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the thermometer section and purchase a rectal thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson.
Be very sure you get this brand.
When you get home, lock your doors, draw the curtains and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed. Change into very comfortable clothing and sit in your favorite chair. Open the package and remove the thermometer. Now, carefully place it on a table or a surface so that it will not become chipped or broken.
Now the fun part begins. Take out the literature and read it carefully. You will notice that in small print there is a statement, "Every Rectal Thermometer made by Johnson & Johnson is personally tested".
Now, close your eyes and repeat out loud five times, "I am so glad I do not work in the Thermometer quality control at Johnson & Johnson."
