The Worst Jobs

Spoiler:
Are things like ship breaking in Bangladesh or sex trafficking at a World Cup.



But that's not what this is about. This is about you and me now. Like me, see, I just might not show up to work tomorrow because it's sucky. Hours upon hours of mindless musculoskeletal pain.

So mafiascumperson, tell us all about the worst job you've ever had.

My current job is the worst job I've ever had because I'm not getting paid to do basically nothing.

There's an article/book about how a lot of jobs are bullshit. I think that's what it's called "Most Jobs Are Bullshit". Might wanna give it a read.

The worst job I ever had are the ones where they will let you go without having the consideration to even talk to you. Because truthfully, they have no damn valid reason to let you go so they don't want to face you. Managers need to show some respect. Any job where management doesn't show you the respect to even talk with you privately, about letting you go - that is a job that's worth less than trash. Especially if you've had good intentions from the beginning, and you're more than qualified for that role.

I worked 12+ hour days 6 days a week for a verbally abusive shitbag, handling customer service and managing 2 warehouses while he single-handedly kept fucking his own business in the ass. Oh yeah, and he didn't want to pay me for my overtime.

So I left.

High five! Yeah man, working in places don't value their employees - those are awful.

Based on what I've seen, being a teacher seems like a terrible job. The pay is low, you have a ridiculously large amount of work and you almost never get respect from your students.

By the way I no longer work at the job in my OP, now I only hurt my shoulders instead of my back.

On the plus side my hands look very manly

100k here for teachers after a bit

Worst job - paper boy in Canada. Had a route when I was young and I had to carry like 80lbs of papers in this sjitty little cart that couldn't do anything in snow. Have to climb up everyone's shitty ice filled decks to give them a paper they aren't gonna read. Takes forever and like it was always hella cold/blizzardy each time in the winter. Usually took 5 1/2 hours (lots when you're 14) and I only made 50$ a month

Wow, you got ripped.

I had 4 paper routes when I was a kid. 2 in the morning and 2 in evening.

Though, my two morning routes consisted of a total of 6 buildings, and my afternoon routes, one was just in one building and the other consisted of 7 buildings.

The only bad day was catalog day, where each paper was 2 inches thick.

Made good $ though, around $100 a week, Christmas was awesome, some people tipped, I remember making $500 in a day :D
