Worst jobs

what Was the worst job You Ever Had?

[dreamyxo]

Doing customer service in a call center.  I made good money but the job sucked taking call after call from mostly angry people.

A clerk at the Family Dollar Store (one of my very first jobs).

I could imagine. Any customer service job is going to be bad because people are demanding and for the most part look down on any one working customer service.

Me either. I talked to a man about a job (that he cannot keep filled) a couple days ago.  I asked about pay and he said you make ZERO an hour as far as he is concerned.  You make your money from commission off sales.  If you do not sell enough to make at least $7.25 an hour (which he HAS to pay you) then you will be fired.  Hmmm.  The parking lot is always empty. There are not that many customers.  So, the job still sits unfilled while he tells everyone that people are lazy and don't want to work.  WHY don't you explain the working conditions!

I think working at a factory that made plastic twist ties was the worst.  I worked 3 to 11 and unless you were one of the first ones there and snagged a stool, you had to stand all during your shift (sometimes they gave you a rubber mat so the concrete floor wouldn't be so hard)LOL.  It didn't pay great but I needed the money.

It  would be a home sales  jobs, which required showing  the products you were selling. I enjoyed it  for a few weeks then it seemed like you were butting your  head against a wall to  get the items sold and then I ran into a couple of problems where I went  and it was all guys.  they were  drinking.  I never  set up. split as  fast as I could.  then I decided no  more I would  go get another part time job. A real job.

Hard to choose but glad I don't work where you do.

Doing phone collections for Fingerhut.  Some of the reasons people gave...  I thought to myself, "Well, if I just got laid off (spouse died, had a fire, etc), Fingerhut would be the last bill I'd pay."  I know some of them lied, but I finally quit.

Door to door sales IS a real job.  Not something I would want to do but it IS a real job.  You don't see too many of them around any longer.  If one comes to my door I would not let them in.  I won't even open the door. Tell them they need to leave.  The last one that came around I was at my parents and the woman actually shoved her way in to the house.  If it had been mine she would have left in an ambulance because when she tried to shove her way past me I would have knocked her off the porch.  You don't come in to MY home uninvited.  I don't care who you are.

I had a company call me once wanting me to work as a collection's agent. I was like NOPE.  I am not calling people to collect money they owe you. Yes a lot of people are going to lie. They are going to cuss you and every thing else. There is a couple of the pay day loan places here locally and they not only have you call people but go to their home and place or work and try to collect the money.

I am surprised Finger Hut ships stuff out before you pay for it.  Most of the companies like that you pay for it before they send it to you.

One summer during college I got a job on a farm.  I worked in the fields. It was hot, humid, and lots of grasshoppers.  I hate grasshoppers.
