I had this temp job in a dairy for one day. I had to cut holes in these cartons of sour milk and pour that lumpy ****e into a big vat that would turn it into something cheesy, I guess. *barf*

They made me wear brown coveralls, too.

When I was 19, I took a second job in a Chinese restaurant. The starting pay was $2/hour (minimum was $4.25...I'm not sure how they got away with it). I had to work in the kitchen because the owner only wanted Asians working up front. I washed dishes, took out trash, worked 4 hours with no break (not even bathroom), was called a "silly, stupid girl" because I was too slow at dishes (well I was trying to get them clean.) & couldn't lift some of the heavy items (excuse me for being 5 ft tall & a size 3)Not one of the cooks washed their hands, not even after using the bathroom, there were countless code violations & the smell made me sick. I quit after one day.

Worst job I had was working for Howard Stern Mechanical. I worked demolition and had to cut copper pipes filled with glycol and wrapped in insulation during the summer months. It was hard and dirty work.

I made rollup garage doors. My job was to rivet the door hinges. Thank God it was only for a summer.

i had to babysit these kids once that had the scariest father. seriously, i was scared to be alone with this man....i thought he was gonna rape me or something. the kids were pretty good, but after he got home, i had to wait there for him to feed the kids before he would drive me home. i was a shy 14 year old, and he teased me and such. i hated it. then, he told me that he didn't have any cash to pay me and that he would pay me next time i babysat. they moved two weeks later and i never saw him again. his brother gave me $20 like 2 months later because he works with my dad and my dad made him feel guilty.

my current job gave me ringworm :|

Phonebank. Good Lord, that was horrible. 9 hours a day of just answering phones for contact lenses.

This horrible/sad job that I got in the psychology department. I essentially ended up cleaning stuff when I thoguht I was supposed to do IT work...

Quit that in 3 days.

haven't had it thank god, but i would imagine that the worst job ever would be the people who have to clean out the porto-potties.. that must suck and blow

worked in a steel mill, you could only imagine the things you see, let just say the mob was very involved

CMG:(

My two worst jobs were in the food business. I worked at a chicken fast food restaurant and went home smelling like chicken grease everyday. The other was as a waitress. The boss/owner was an ass and made all of the waitresses cry at some point. I remember one night I was so busy and stressed out and he came up to me and started yelling because I wasn’t moving fast enough and started saying I was stupid and I just started bawling. :(

what a jerk!:mad:

Yes he was. When I get stressed out I get emotional anyway, so the smallest things can set me off. I remember the first weekend that I had my own tables, it was Mother’s Day. We were packed! Anyway, part of the special we were having was Mother’s could get a free dessert. Well me not thinking, was getting cheesecake out of the freezer and serving it, not realizing that food in the freezer is frozen. Anyway my boss saw what I was doing and started yelling saying, “Are you an idiot?! How can you be so stupid to serve frozen food to customers!” And the tears just fell.

I’m so glad I quit that place.

Camp Happy Dog.

I loved the dogs (most of the time), I quite enjoyed the other employees, but the owner is a queen bitch, the pay sucked, and she engages in at least 4 illegal business practices.

I had so many crappy jobs that I cannot narrow it down.

The hardest job I had was working at compusa. Working in a retail environment is nasty. Everyone treats you like crap. The bosses are morons who don't listen to you when you complain about stuff like unsafe working conditions (I had to load product on a shelf and the ladder was too short, an obvious hazard) but will bith at you when ever they want. I quit that job at my first opportunity. Did not even give a two weeks notice. Why should I? The bosses don't give a notice when they fire you.

Other crappy jobs include: Temporary work at Rockwell International working for a tight ass, anally retentive piss ant who made me his gofer. Had to draw up work orders. The dickhead made me walk around the building forwarding his orders (and very stupid ones at that) to other people. Very soon everyone there hated me because I told them what ever that prick told me to say. I was fired from that job for no reason and never given a reason.

Working for IBM. Was sent to three seperate assignments. The last of which was at this help desk. I worked for this really stupid lady who encouraged her employees to listen to motivational tapes and was really "New Age". Well she told me everything was going well. Then the next day I was fired. I was never told why.

Working on a temp job for Walgreens at their main office. Was the most tight ass work environment. Did Data Management on mideval equipment. Had these Macintosh computers. My boss was this bitch whoul would not allow me to make personal calls even though she and other employees did (because I was a temp, hence a peon) Could not put pictures on the walls. Once I called my computer a "PC" (meaning personal computer) and she got all bent out of shape. "Its not a PC its a Macintosh", like whatever. Another time she bitched at me for not shutting down my computer and just powering it off. It was stuck I told her and she said I should call the system administrator. When I did call the sys admin the next time he powered the thing off. After that job I never wanted to shop at Walgreens again.

Then there was that other Temp Job at Ameritech where I asked a question in training after being told that "there is no such thing as a stupid question here" and was told that I was not suitable for the job because it was something I should already know.

And the list goes on and on...
