| #22 Posted on 29.8.05 1010.09 | Instant Rating: 5.90 | Data entry--I worked in a furniture store which was getting audited. Their accountant hired me to put all their records onto computer (nothing was on computer--all the information was in file cabinets), and I spent a summer working mind numbing 12 hour days to accomplish it. I worked alone in a small room. The room was in the front of the store, behind the cashiers and advertising displays. They had installed a security mirror. However, they installed it backwards, so everyone in the store could look in and see me, but I could not see out. I didn't realize this for at least six weeks. No one would talk to me. No one. At least I own at the 10 key.
I worked a lot of menial jobs in college. Like whatever (the W, not the valley girl expression), fear motivated me to do well in school. That job was probably the worst, however.

| #23 Posted on 29.8.05 1930.40 | Instant Rating: 6.01 | The worst job I ever had was as a midnight gas station attendant at Domo, the absolute WORST place ever. I worked 16 hour shifts when people wouldn't show up in the morning and constantly dealt with co-workers who tried to steal from me as they cashed out their shift.
I also got robbed twice, once by this huge girl wearing a bandanna over her mouth like a old-west bank robber. That robbery was memorable due to her insistence that I load up her sack specifically with packs of Du Maurier King.
Oh yeah, and I have one more . . .
After being laid off by the CBC (I was one of those casual workers they're striking over now) after two years, I worked at an audio/visual company for a couple of months. Basically, I would drive around and set up multimedia presentations for business meetings, etc.
I got the job as I was recovering from a long, brutal indoor soccer injury (severely torn ankle ligaments), so when I started I walked with a noticeable limp. One day, the big boss came up to a bunch of us, and he and I had the following exchange:
Boss: "So, are you a Jew?"
Me: "Uh, no."
Boss: "Well, are you a fag?"
Me: "No."
Boss: "Too bad, because with you being a cripple and all, we could have had three minority hirings in one."
Suffice to say, I didn't stick around for the rest of my shift.

I was buggy pusher/stockman. They have a great discount if your an employee that 10% off the subtotal but to acutally be doing grunt work with a manager out there, almost, every hour telling you that you are not...fast enough, working hard enough, keeping buggies in the bay, and just plain useless sort of supports the negative reinforcement that you don't want to say in a place like this.
So that is currently my worst job it might get updated in future jobs.

I was in charge of disposing of the "defective" cups as they came down this belt. Mind you this belt moved VERY fast. Plus it was the graveyard shift. The place had an overwhelming hot plastic smell and it was so loud people communicated w/ hand signals. I only lasted 2 weeks. | Kevintripod

My job was to put the little plastic safety seal wrapper on each bottle that came by on the conveyor belt. 8 hours a day standing in one spot without moving.....I couldn't get out of that place fast enough.

You put a sheet on the presser ram which desecends under the floor. You fill the presser cylinder with the fiber (which drifts everywhere and coats everything). You turn the presser on, and it makes a big cube of material. When the bail is made, you wrap wire and hook it around the bail and shove the bail onto an automated conveyor. That's the job.

My good-for-nuthin brother works at the nation's number 1 employer. I recall him discussing his job, saying he supervises what he calls "useless slackers and rejects who don't work fast enough, hard enough, or long enough keeping buggies in the bay"
He hates his job, too.
