What is the worst job/s you've ever had?!

Me and my two best friends worked in a plastics factory boxing up injection molded products (hangars, trash cans, chairs, etc.) It was the graveyard shift, it was hot, and the pay sucked. It was shortly after high school and only lasted a few weeks, I got sick and had no point of contact (since the front office was closed during graveyard shift). I told my friends to let the shift supervisor know I was sick but they stopped going so they just assumed all 3 of us quit.
 
Worked for soda company doing stocking at stores. Load gets dropped off in various locations. I go to location in own car(they reimburse gas) and you organize product and bring it out to shelves. Sounds doable right?

Problem is I was a relief worker, so every fucken guy on last day of there work week would coast on 5th day and leave double the shit for me to do. Constant mandatory overtime, newly promoted boss clueless on how to do her job. Which meant bad routes that geographically make no sense. Literally had me racing all over city to finish on time (never did)

Store managers in most stores you work at were awful and since your not an actual employee of theres. Even more opportunity for them to shit on you and make you do extra work. For example you find all your product buried under a bunch of other shit from other companies. So you are basically moving/doing someone elses stocktoom job to get the chance to do your job lol.

When a store manager who is not my boss was blaming me for something I didn't do and snitched to my company. My real boss called angry few minutes later. So I gave her a long rant on why this job sucks and quit over phone. Boss lady tried to meet with me to talk things out but I ignored her and dumped uniform in reception desk following week lol.

Working on a strawberry farm when I was 15. Shit fucking sucked. Only made like $3.50/hr
 
Another. Worked in a cubicle, big office. Alot of “Office Space Movie” vibes to it. Work itself was easy but highly repetitive, basically just processing bill payments over phone and collecting on delinquent accounts. Most delinquents dont pick up anyways so they weren’t to much hassle.

Management was thrash, constant micro managing, timing restroom usage. Taking a shit over 5 minute time was problematic lol and they would then start to look at all the times you paused your activity/got out your cubicle cell.

Talking to cubicle neighbor was frowned upon. Clocking a minute or two late was a problem. Wearing baseball caps was problematic, eating at your desk was problematic, not hitting your daily quota was problematic. Female employees dressing slutty was a problematic. I can keep going.

People got fired constantly obviously lol, even people that had been with company over decade. Would get kicked to curb for dumb shit. Everyone was replaceable there, even our own bosses got fired by there boses lol. Only real plus was pay was decent and good bonuses but it was run so strict that made you miserable.

Towards end of me working there stopped giving a fuck and actually gained respect of some supervisors who protected me from getting fired. (similar to Office Space when Peter stopped caring and everyone started liking him lol) I was a high performer though so even me being rebellious at work. I still would finish my work load.

When I did finally get fired by Big boss I told him I had an interview lined up following day which pissed him off ( I really did have one) I later heard he got fired from there too lmaoo.

Yessir! I see you're familiar with the field. But that was the easy part, after becoming management it got even harder.
Ya my buddy broke away from a contractor and started his own and I came to work for him as the admin guy. But I work with clients from time to time. We aren't group homes. We hire independent dsp's to go directly to clients homes, take em shopping and stuff

Oh that sounds cool. That's what's up.
 
Pizza delivery and kitchen work at a gas station.
Was several jobs rolled into one. Help make pizzas bc there is only one cook and a tiny kitchen,take orders, deliver pizzas when not doing that clean ,make subs, stock coolers, bag ice, change outside trash. Was my first introduction to wage slavery, hire you for one job make you do several, but hey you gotta work right? I taught American government at my local highschool during this 5 days school 4 days thursday thru Sunday pizza delivery. Horrible place to work "Caseys General store". No breaks at all was told they could work us 24 hours and not give us a break by then area manager. Its pretty bad when you make Walmart loom good in employee treatment.
 
Garbage man for sure, now a Software Eng.
 
Corrections. Between trying to maintain professionalism when dealing with pedos and scumbag COs I spent everyday pissed off at work. It felt so good walking out that place for the last time
 
working intake in my jail is sad and depressing.

nothing like arguing with grown men at 5am to take their clothes off so i can inspect their asshole for contraband

The best days at the institution was when I was escorting medical trips because I only had to deal with 1 inmate and CO all day. Down side was staring at a dude's asshole twice.

hospital runs were the best. i always went out with the same partner so it was always fun time....and anytime out of jail is good
 
Worst job: Pest control technician. I'm from Florida, so working outside during the summer time for sometimes up to 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, is excruciatingly difficult. By the time you get to Thursday and Friday, you're just completely spent. The work wasn't even really the worst part and I had good relationships with my customers. It was the management that made the job more miserable than anything else. Treated us like absolute garbage on a consistent basis. It was a mom-and-pop's pest control company, so it wasn't run very efficiently at times and there was also zero accountability held towards the office people. If they messed up, you would still get blamed and you wouldn't get an opportunity to respond or you'd get reprimanded even further. It got to the point where I essentially just went rogue and would show up, complete my assigned route for the day, and completely ignore the office for the entire day haha. It was not a good relationship. I felt like I had to be a gigantic asshole back towards them to keep myself from getting screwed over and that's so contradictory to how I am as a person, so I'd feel miserable and sullen all of the time. I lasted in that job about 1 calendar year and was mercifully fired in April 2020 when COVID was first starting to affect everywhere. Best thing that ever happened to me.

Best job: My current job. EMT working ambulance transport for Cleveland Clinic. Most rewarding job I've had to this point in my life. A good friend of mine that I met while working together for the aforementioned miserable pest control company was in EMT school at the time with the eventual goal of becoming a fire-fighter. He kept trying to recruit me the entire time we were working together and was telling me "dude, if you get into school and graduate the program, we can quit this job at the same time." I kept telling him I'd think about it and put it off because being a responder or working in the medical industry wasn't something I'd even remotely considered interesting growing up. Well, when I got fired, I was at a crossroads in my life and had to make a decision, so I decided to take a leap into this avenue to see if it was something that'd be for me and I completely fell in love with it, to the point where I wondered why I never pursued it sooner. I get to see a lot of wild stuff on a daily basis. I've been able to be right in the middle of the action when it's come to COVID calls and whatever else. I spend all of my time in hospital ER's, so I get to see all types of crazy stuff from assault victims to car accident victims to COVID patients to patients having heart attacks, strokes, etc. I plan on taking this thing the whole way and eventually ending up as a paramedic at a fire station so I can run emergency response calls. Best decision I've ever made. It's not for everybody. I work really weird hours. I work from 7pm-7am most nights, so I have to be awake at strange hours and that wears you out over time, but the job itself is awesome.
That's a job I don't think I would like . I don't like gruesome stuff or sad stuff butt somebody has to do it . I'm happy it is working out for you , I have heard to do good at something it's gotta be something you like or something like that

Yeah. It has its pros and cons. It's the only job I've ever had that's ever brought some kind of meaning into my life. It sounds weird, but it's the truth. I'm not a sad person or anything by any stretch of the imagination. It's just that I've had office jobs before and they've always felt so hollow and repetitive. You clock in, sit down, do the same thing every day, clock out, leave, exist. I got to a point where I decided that I'd rather do something that makes me nervous every day and pushes me, but is a lot more fulfilling, even if it doesn't necessarily pay as well as the aforementioned previous jobs. That's not really what it's about for me.
 
In college I worked at a dangerous sweat shop staffed entirely by temps. Worst conditions in the US, but I needed the money. They made injection plastic and silicone stuff. I pulled burning hot plastic rake heads out of the machine all day. They did make sex toys—some dildo device. I didn’t ever have that job. That would be the worst IMO. Making dildos 12 hours a day in a sweat shop.
 
this was ages ago at a piss lab factory. i was desperate for money and needed money so i took the job as it was a temp position from an agency. When I got there they made me sign some type of waiver warning me of the diseases i can catch from working there. what we did was stack urine samples from a conveyor belt onto boxes and filled them. sometimes there were spills and we had to sanitize the whole area before proceeding. pure filfth and even with the layers of protection they gave us, i felt like i was working in a piss flooded high school restroom. There was a bucket in the restroom for anyone wanting to donate their urine for some type of tests they do there. One time after i finished pissing, as i was walking out, there was an old creepy man pissing into the sample bucket. he turned and said with a smile that there's room if i wanted to donate piss. i took off after lunch.
