What is The Worst Job You've Ever Had?

100% at a CPA firm.

Hated that shite.

I suck arse at any job where I have to keep track of my time in 5 to 15 minute intervals

Gravedigger in north Georgia one summer, during college.

Yeah, it was THAT long ago and I remember it like it was yesterday.

In between semesters I worked for Turner (I think) cleaning out drainage tunnels under an air base. It was nights. Cold, wet, and miserable.

I worked at a casino for a couple of years. The money was good but you had to be around the shittiest people out there.

I was on a roofing crew the summer after I graduated high school.

I was a carnie on the weekends for a year


IDK which was the worst of those four.

The best job I ever had was on a cattle ranch. Tons of freedom. Farm girl puss. Pay sucked. My current job is pretty damn awesome as well. I'm comfy as all get out.


ETA: one summer in highschool I worked on a shrimp boat. That was freakin' miserable.

As a kid or as an adult.

I worked as a welder in a shipyard. Winter was miserable and summer in south La. was brutal.

Worked for one of the scam companies that sold coupon books and made people believe the won a trip to either Las Vegas or Hawaii.

But, the worst job ever. I took a job at a Delchamp's store. Only worked one shift and it was overnight. The manager had me crawl along the entire perimeter inside of the store and clean the area where the walls and floor met. The clothes I ruined that night cost more than the pay I got.

After that first night, I left and never went back.

Worked at Best Buy. Most of the customers are just angry Karens. Only upside was the employee discount.

shoveling coal 4 stories below ground into buckets and hauling it up and dumping on the conveyer belt working in a coal power plant. had to wear full face respirator and tyvek....shite was miserable during the summer.

Didnt take long to realize i wanted to go back to school

Wasn't an actual job but when I was in grad school for Physical Therapy one of my 8 week clinicals was in two nursing homes in Slidell and I was absolutely miserable. You are surrounded by miserable workers who are only there because they're getting paid more to be there and by mostly miserable patients. I felt terrible for most of them though. No visitors and terrible staff that did not give two shits about them. I will never forget a 95 y/o lady with dementia crying true tears because she didn't tell her mom where she was and she would be worried sick about her. I basically said eff this, no matter what you pay me I will never do this for my actual job. Luckily my mentor was really cool and took me out for beers a few times and bought me a case when I finished up. He was the only thing that made it tolerable. Talked any and all LSU sports all day.
