Whats the worst job you have ever had???
As the post says - whats the worst job you have ever had..........
I have been lucky really, I think serving junkies in McDonalds in Springburn - glasgow was pretty depressing at times but that was better than working for a certain bank (I aint mentioningthem!)- where we had to sell loans to pensioners and I also had to inform people of the huge service charge that they have.
On anotherforum this question followed a trail of abbatoir jobs and even a guy who used to fix industrial fridges - Mainly in morgues!
Thank goodness I'm not a student any more.....
As a student during the hols: Security Guard in Glasgow Sheriff Court - £2.42 an hour.
Standing in one spot for 12 hours a days or, for a bit of a change, pace up and down for a bit. There wasn't even any yelling, arguments or entertainment of any kind - I was kinda hoping for at least some fisticuffs - but no...... just standing...........and pacing............then some more standing.
Lasted a week and got out of there before I lost my mind.
It sucked.
A great deal.
Then moved on to KFC - but that's a whole other story - three words sum it up - "breaking the chicken". But it was hugely better paid - £3.33 an hour.
The next summer we ended up in a dodgy call-centre (grubby room with 20 telephones in) trying to sell double glazing - it was bad, very bad. You got routinely humiliated in front of the group if you did not get enough people agreeing to a call-back (of course we never had ANY! because we did not care about selling windows!! We were in it for the money - ahem) but, you do get worn down with someone shouting at you every day!
Oh yeah, then there was the year that I was a chamber maid in the Thistle in Glasgow. Changing manky bads, cleaning out the loos (what people leave in the bins would make you ill) You had a quota of rooms to finish within your allocated hours and if you weren't done you stayed for as long as it took. It was RUUUUUUBISH!
My best worst job was a store-room assistant in Etams. Never saw the light of day! Just unpacked and hung clothes all day - actually I would do that again! It was very therapeutic!
