Worst job you ever had?

Bar tending private parties. Not cool.

Part-time during the summer while in college - inventory of the plumbing parts @ SEARS!!! UGHHHH!!!

waitressing job at a tacky chain restaurant. It didn't last long.

People could tell that I "didn't belong there"

I worked at a laboratory taking care of the lab animals. I euthanized a few hundred animals a day. For someone who has made the care of animals their career, this was the worst 2 years of my life. But, it did help me learn how to put a mental block in place- otherwise, my house might be more of a menagerie than it already is!

Part-time during the summer while in college - inventory of the plumbing parts @ SEARS!!! UGHHHH!!!

Sears put me through college. I sold white goods (appliances) and worked on commission. I quit my last semester to cash in my profit sharing to pay tuition and picked up waiting tables at a hotel. Finally graduated and got a "real" job and supplemented my real job's salary by going back to work at sears in plumbing and heating. Hottest summer ever. Sold tons of A/C. LOVED IT! I made more money there than my real job.

Worst job ... scrubbing toilets and sinks at a church camp. But it's all good, now.

Live in nanny for two girls and a boy whom I was pretty sure was possessed. I had to hold him down on the floor so he wouldnt hurt his sisters or try and wreck the house.

Staff Accountant at a CPA firm right out of college. Worked so many hours it was unreal. I had 2 children and my youngest was baby thru toddler years. Supposedly a Christian CPA firm where work came before family. Was denied time off to see my oldest's soccer games because they were during tax season. (I went anyway and go wrote up for it. lol) When my kids got sick I was expected to leave them with my dad (who worked too) cause they thought I needed to be at work.

Now I'm a staff accountant at another CPA firm where its pretty much come and go as you please. Love it!!

In an industrial laundary for the summer when I first left school !!

With the steam and the heat it was like being in hell .. great for detox and by the end of the summer I had lost 14 pounds but I swear that was because I was literally melting away :laugh:

Dish washer. We had a broken garbage disposal, so you would have to reach into the sink and scoop it all out by hand. Made below minimum wage, and had to punch out to eat, so I never punched out. Would got 12-16 hour shifts w/o eating as a 15 year old. Wed sneak into the kitchen and steal food sometimes, or if the cooks had made something in the kitchen and then brought th plate to be clean and their was leftovers, wed eat from that. Disgusting i know, but like I said, we never got lunch breaks

Verizon wireless call center.

Should seriously qualify for PTSD counseling after that one. Gained weight, no libido, no lively-ness, played very little music.
Nightmares before work days. Worst time of my life.

I worked at a grocery store and a martial arts studio; both jobs included cleaning bathrooms. Scrubbing a urinal that 200 little boys use is the WORST!!!

Edit: I didn't technically get paid for working at the martial arts studio. I got a $5/hr credit for my classes because I couldn't afford them otherwise.

Being a E-1 in the Army forever because I couldn't make weight.

Being that low in rank, you get treated badly.

Telemarketer. I lasted a whole two weeks before I quit. They probably would have fired me anyway. I wasn't pushy enough. I felt bad about bothering people at home so when they said, "NO!" I'd apologize for bothering them and hang up.

One word: DMV

*wasted 9 years of my life there!

I worked in collections for a well known credit card company. If I wasn't getting verbally abused, then I was feeling depressed for the person's sad story (some were awful & heart wrenching). They either could pay & just didn't want to OR they wanted to pay, but just couldn't. That's an over simplification, but you get the idea. NOT a fun job.
