My first job was milking cows. The cows were the best bit! The other girl who worked on this farm and I had to live in a shed, but have our meals at the house with the family (who were very religious, and had this dorky son who thought we were his private harem). During the day we did paddock work - but the property was very hilly so they couldn't use a tractor and we had a draught horse and sled (that bit was good too!) I lasted there four months.

Working at a grocery store. That job SUCKED. Customer service is NOT my forte. I can't stand having to put on a fake face and a fake smile and being FAKE to people all DAY LONG. Its all such a load of bullcrap.
The 'Customer Service Managers' are rediculous. They act like the customers are Gods. They need to get a life outside of their work. There are more things to life than sucking up to people and being fake to them all day.
Do NOT work in a grocery store.

Bag girl at a Winn Dixie. I had to work just as hard as the guys did. I could push more buggies in at one time than they could. I also had people ask for me specifically to bag their groceries. That was the hardest job Ive ever had.

besides working for a foot doctor, i was a hot dog on a stick girl in high school and we had to squeeze lemons to make lemonade by using a big steel pogo stick. sometimes 2 girls would have to get on this pogo stick contraption and mix the big tub of lemonade. it was extremely perverted and kind of embarassing, haha!

My worst Job would be my first Job. I was 14 at the time, and I was collecting trolley's for a supermarket by the name of Woolworths and BILO. I hated it, coz I would be working outside in the heat! Especially on weekends I would hate it most! However the wage was pretty good for my age.

I've had fairly good jobs overall, but in one high tech job, I was told I had to lie to a customer. While I did, I felt terrible about it and left soon after.

My last job, working as a marketing guy for a large general contracting company. My boss quit about 4 months after I was hired, leaving me under the supervision of the company president, who was a bona fide nutcase. By the end of my stint there, I was doing very little actual work, and spending most of my time doing personal errands for the president, picking up his dry cleaning and prescriptions, taking his car out to get washed, etc.
Just as an experiment, I wish I could go back and work there now, knowing what I know. I'd probably be making double what I made there before, and I'm sure my ideas and efforts would be taken much more seriously.

Worked in a printing press for two weeks. It was 10 degrees hotter inside the building than outside. And that year it was 110 degrees outside, so that's 120. I get heat sickness and it was 10 hr days. I'd get sick and work, get sick and work. It was awful.

I once had a temp-job where i had to uproot a Bird of Parradise plant. It was on a fourty degree incline and i had nothing more than a chovel. I bust my back for 8 hours and its still there. It was the only job I ever walked off of, and I left without payment.

I worked at a painting place that was run by someone who knew nothing about painting, and thus tried to paint a house with interior latex paint. Needless to say, I quit shortly after she overrode my argument.

One time i had to dig a trench a foot deep, and about 300 yards long, it sucked, especially because it was really hot outside. Took me 7hours with one person helping me. It was for a wire that we had to run.

As a lettice planter/cutter/packer. 3 am starts, 110 degree heat, fairly regular 12 - 14 hour shifts, forklifts with stalactites of battery acid hanging off the rear axels and unprotected chemical mixing. I'd cut myself on the knives, my hamstrings would scream at me while planting, and I was never fast enough to be a good packer. Nice people though. Oh, and the pay was terrible.

My worst job was Construction Management capping a landfill with earth movers that did not know how to read grade stakes. For those without construction or engineering background that means the guys pushing the dirt did not know how deep they should make the dirt or how much dirt they should dig out. We ended up moving a lot of dirt back and forth and the open landfill pit 200 yards away really stunk.

Working in a golf course cafe. I remember the tiny kitchen, it was always very hot. I had to do everything, the cooking, the cleaning, & at the end of the night the dishes. It was one of my first jobs.

by lizizhere on February 3rd, 2007
my first job when i was 14, a waitress & cook. When I was waitressing the pay was very low & depended on mostly tips to get by, you have to hear everyones complaints when the food is wrong they get mad at you like you cooked it all wrong when you were just serving it to them. Also most people don't tip much if any & i even had a lil brat steal my tips off a table one day I was getting reading to bust it to play in the game room. I worked at another resterant & got fired because I refused to reuse the hotdogs & hamburgers that were made from 2 days ago & reheat & re serve(yuk). I won't give anyone anything I wouldn't give my own family. To many bosses try to get one over on the public for profits thank god he didn't stay in business long. Also a cna in a nursing home, bless u people who do. Its phyiscally & mentally challenging. Its hard helping those sweet lil people, most nursing homes are understaffed I was working in a wing of 30 by my self, its very hard work & I couldn't forgot the precious lil residents when i went home at night.

When I worked for a pediatricians office down in Florida. I hated working with sick kids and dealing with their parents and the staff was two-faced to each other. I was so glad to get out of there! One year was one year too long!

This falls under 2 categories. The worst, most hellish job I ever had was being enlisted in the US Navy. It was the biggest mistake I made in my life. I still talk people out of enlisting.
As for civilian job, where I am now is definitely in the top 2. I work for an outsourcing company for Apple computer, and this place is nothing but a sweatshop. High turn over, massive firing, below minimum wage, and they have borderline impossible call metrics to match. Not a single person is valuable to them.
Thankfully I have a new job starting next week.

When I was a kid I had a job at a mushroom farm that was pretty bad. The working conditions were horrendous, the pay was very low and there was absolutely NO understanding or appreciation. For me that was the bottom of the barrel.

Where was the farm?

What a job! I bet that draught horse was big. That you lasted four months is quite a testament to your strength and willpower. Especially with the dorky son, LOL. This is a great answer, BTW. Very entertaining. I bet you've got some interesting stories.
by Jodie44 on February 13th, 2007
Well, I started work when I left school at 16, and I'm 59 now and I've never been out of work. I've met some wierdos along the way, I can tell you!
