I can relate I worked at a call center for seven years and hated all but one year when I wasn't on the phones.  A lot of the time we got yelled at because of the lies the telemarketers told just to get the sale.

Pretty much anything that involves customer service. I should know, LOL. I mostly dealt with a lot of rude customers, so it ruined the experience for me. Thankfully, I did not hold that job for too long.

I worked in a factory for 3 days while in college.  It was so mundane.  I couldn't handle the mindless work.  I need something that engages my brain and requires mental effort.

I have never done telemarketing, but I have had a bit of experience with Customer Service and I did not like it.  Most of the times I was mistreated because of my accent. 

But for me my worst job was the one I left about 2 years ago (I worked there for 15 years but the last 3 years got really bad).  Micro Management, boss that was very mean to me, the only female on the group, would call me "Her Highness", Monthly meetings were all to talk about how bad of a job I was doing, I had a co-worker that felt the need to check everything I did and tell the Manager about MY errors, the others would do the same errors, but they were never told on. 

The office environment was so toxic that I was getting sick.  The day I found me the new job was the best of my life. Now I am free of the toxicity of the office and my new job is very chill.  Love it

This. Although, in my experience, part of that was my fault due to communication issues but it doesn't make it right to be rude back.

Though I will say any job where one isn't the boss is the worst job to have because one leaves oneself open to the actions of some horrid person that couldn't care less how they treat you because of this power they have over you.

I didn't like working at the laundromat touching other people's dirty clothes. Smelling it was worse.

You wanna talk worst jobs?

Manual Sewer Cleaner



https://allthatsinteresting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/worst-jobs-sewer-cleaner.jpg

A Dalit man works in a sewer in Mumbai.

"As is to be expected, sewer cleaners are the individuals lucky enough to clear blockages and other problems in sewers. In India, however, it is common for men to be employed to manually clear said blockages. "

Working at Disney was the worst job, people think that if they complain about anything, made-up or not, that Disney will give them compensation... it is not a pleasant work environment, despite the beauty of the park, the backstage areas were horrible & smelled and the pay was a joke. Worst day to work was on Christmas - believe it or not, when the people who went there were so miserable they took it out on the Disney employees.

Hi there! :) :D

I mean a couple years ago when you asked me what was my worst job I would have a really large list to greet you. Nevertheless after working hard to build my business to the way I want and doing many jobs earning to just have my bills take my hard earn money. Made me realize no job is bad as long as it pays. :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose:

I would at this point say the worst job anyone could have is one where you have to deal with the idiots known as the public.

I would have to disagree.  Some jobs are much better than others.  I have had jobs that I absolutely hated.  And jobs that I liked.  The one job that comes to mind for me, yes it paid the bills, but I hated everything about it. And I would say was probably the worst job I have ever had in my life.
