what's the worst job you've ever had?

[Civic_Zen]

It was a company called DataWorks. $5 an hour, and all you did was stand up for your shift and assemble corporate manuals and the like. Cut paper, assemble 100 of the same manuals. Tedious crap work for crap pay. It did have one advantage though, there were a couple Jamaican's working there who would always have the rockinist of the rockin dank. And you had to be pretty blitzed to work there any way.

Besides, at the time I had two jobs so I just quit after maybe a month.

Sales jobs...

I sold CutCo Knives as well. They scammed me into buying one of their starter sets for $160 and gave me nothing us to work with. I had to come up with my own client base or go door to door! That sucked!

Same deal here...that's when I was pretty young and didn't know any better...boy I didn't last long there. But I have to admit those knives are very good..:cool:

Tried life insurance..busted my ass for 2 months finally passing the state test and getting my license (which I still have)...then 8 days into the actual "on-field training" I quit out...14+ hour days, non-stop, no wonder why many get burned out and have to leave the industry. Not worth it.

Last straw in sales was a job that actually was pretty easy...walked around neighborhoods all day selling simple coupon-like stuff to well-known shops and stores...problem was that I couldn't afford to live off of the up and down amounts I could make (or hardly any), as I needed a more steady paycheck, so that was gone as well within a week or so...I would have done good there too had I had enough backup to cover me in the early 2-3 month timeframe before getting "promoted."

Bottom line? Trust me, don't work sales unless you just have that right attitude and personality...deceit, trickery, you name it...to me, it's not worth the "potential" earnings.


And one another...Verizon Wireless as a 411 operator...blahhh...you had to fly on that job, it was over an hour away from my home and the pay flat-out sucked...what amazes me there were people who were with the company 15 years plus still doing that...talk about not having a life.

Has it ever occurred to you that when you have such a shitty paying job which is totally shitty in itself, you 'supervisor' or boss really acts as if it's a dreamjob he/she is having?

Managers @ McDonalds, my floormanager at the go-kart centre, and now my supervisors at the marketing research bureau...they all act the same. Not always putting you down, but really acting as if 'this is it'. I just think: See ya in a couple of years peepz, when I'm traveling the world and you're still stuck in there seeing your life slip away between your fingers...

[remoh]

^^^ yeah thats true, they act like you are so lucky to be working for the crumbs they are paying you. but hey a good manager is one who cares right?

i worked in a mcdonalds also for about 3 months , i fucking hated it, but at the time i had to do it...at least i was making a healthy 4.75 an hour for getting burnt behind the grill and sweating my balls off..... priceless ... i did get to eat a lot of ig macs... i would purposedly cook a few extras so i could eat them at the end of the night

my worst job?
mmmmmmmmmmmm
maybe when i was a dealer...fucking paranoid man!

[Yao]

Dudes, I read all about those $5,- an hour jobs...I got ?9,55 at my last one, and ?8,- at this one. Non-schooled jobs. And I'm already looking for a new one that will give about 10 per hour (I have 2 jobs, one does pay 10, but there's no work at this moment).

What is this? Do they really pay so bad out there?

[Marimba]

I think because we are still young
so all the money keeps with the older people

[mayan_guy]

worst job...stacking boxes of mustard in a mustard plant.

best job I ever had was a courier job in college...had a company car that I was able to use for personal stuff...never reported to anyone except over the phone....but the main items of trasnport were pap smears...mmm...vagina juice!

[Jibgolly]

lmfao. did you ever drink any?

[remoh]

well minimum wage got raised since ... i believe its 5.75 an hour... here in vegas hourly is a lot higher because of the union...so an average job in a casino is at least 8 bucks an hour ....

[Yao]

Gonna try and apply for one that does 11 an hour. Until I leave for Africa, and after that...who knows.

i worked for this cheapass jew that was lik 40 living with his mother, who was alot nicer than him. I was drawing fucking decals for him to output to the vinyl cutter. what a fucking waste, i quit after a week.

Being a host sucked balls too. I worked at California pizz kitchen as a host, and those fuckin ppl, cant even wait for lik 5 min without asking or forget it, i just learned that i coudl never again be a host, or a waitor.
