What Was The Worst Job You Ever Had??

[BUU]

Back in my early 20’s I landed this job working for a water filtration system
We only worked in newly developed neighborhoods ($200k and up houses)
my job was to go door to door and ask for samples of their water. Here’s the catch, they don’t really care about the water. They just want the people’s info to contact them and sell them stuff by telling them their water is polluted. To me it just didn't seem like an honest living. I felt like I was scamming folks.


Whats yours???

While in college, I had a job (for about a week) at a text message company. People would call in and verbally tell you what kind of text message they wanted to leave on someone's pager. This shit was the worst...even though some of the messages being left were funny as hell. Imagine reading back, "You thought that you were the shit, but you ain't worth shit you no good motherfucker"...is that correct ma'am...LOL

I went to an ad in the paper for a warehouse job and there was about 30 people there. They told about half we had the job off the bat so I was psyched up about it. After that we find out we selling $5 massagers, flashlights and etc on the street but they try to suck you in by telling the vets to act like they making all this money and flashing it in your face all day. One disgruntled ****** told me the game of what they were doing so I never came back the next day. I'm not a salesman so it wouldn't have worked for me anyway especially in southeast dc.

Let me see:

Any restaurant job is shit!!!

Six flags in ATL as a delivery clerk, seemed ok at first,then they tell you you have work in damn freezer for 8 hrs at -30 below. They gave us suits, but I kept getting one WITHOUT GLOVES after that I said MUTHAFUCK THIS job!!!

Last job I had this year working as a power company contractor. sounds like it was a cool job right!!!!! WRONG!!!! The job only paid $10/hr. we had to use our own cars (if they got damaged had to come outta pocket), we had to pay for our own hotel room( for a decent one it was at least $200 bucks), our food etc; they reimbursed us for the expenses but that was money always going out of our pocket. So to sum up the most we could make was$850 minus hotel, food, car repairs and other job related expenses, you were lucky to walk away with $300 a week. Now let me get to the actual job!! We had to check power company poles and equipment to update maps for the company, problem was we had to go on folks property unannouced mainly due to time limits and out on the most crazy terrain swamps, thick forests etc:. So we often had to deal with hostile dogs, bitchy customers, harsh ass terrain, and always the possibilty of being shot (once someone fired a warning shot behind my back) and wild animals. All this WITH NO HEALTH INSURANCE!!! SHIT WAS too expensive almost $400 bucks per month!!!!! Then we had an asshole cracka boss who looked out for the white boys, but shitted on niggas whenever he got the chance. Ahhh I could go on. I got fired thankfully in July. I'm still Ok as far as money(had a stash), I'm trying to get my old job back at the airport, I got a friend who's a manger now to hook me up. Only reason I took that power company job because I thought it would lead to getting on with the power company full time, good pay benefits the works, but I then found it was a fucking dead end all over again. Oh well hopefully 2008 will be better.

My worst job was telemarketing. I was a senior in high school and they pay was good. . . But of course I stayed getting cursed out and having dirty old men say "Ooo. . you have a sexy voice. Sound like you a sweet little young thang."

I just up and quit one day. . . that job got on my last nerve.

I once got some pussy from a chick calling me to collect on a credit card bill I was behind on. Started out a lot like you described but she took my number and called me after work. It just so happened I was heading to her city for business, so I stopped in an smashed that shit for two days.

She been a regular Shadow phone stalker ever since. Ah, at least she wasn't ugly.

 

[Jam_Jam]

The worst job I ever had was babysitting 2 little bad ass white boys. They were always giving me trouble. One day the mom told me that the little one (he was about 7) was on punishment and could not go outside. Later that evening all of the neighbors were outside on their porches. That kid ran out of the house screaming at the top of his lungs "Help me, she's trying to kill me." The kid ran down the street and the neighbors were looking at me like..."you'd better leave that kid alone." Needless to say, I went back into the house and just let the kid run wild for the rest of the evening. I was 14 and being paid $50.00 a week. Now that I think about how bad those kids were, it should have been $500 a week.

I think this is the only way anyone ever leaves a telemarketing job.
I called MCI from the crib, like "Hello? Put Rajib on the phone. Rajib? I ain't never comin to work no more; take it easy."

. . . yea I had plenty of those incidents. But I never took any numbers. Plus were always calling like across the country. Like I'm in Illinois and they are in California or New York. . I would be looking at my screen at work like. . . what area code is 310. . .

I think this is the only way anyone ever leaves a telemarketing job.

I did mine the same way. . .

[Tony Soprano]

Worst job I ever had was a clerk at a gas station. I dealt with record-high gas prices, lazy co-workers, unreliable co-workers, and "trying to always follow the company line". You deal with so many angry customers and personalities on an everyday basis, you come home not knowing who the fuck you are. I'm so glad I got out of that job.

I did bang a few broads that I met while working there, so it wasn't all THAT bad.

 

[willettthagreat]

a fucking fast food job at Wendy's it was a mess i will never go back

I had that text message service when it first became popular, only drawback was the company had some ghetto ass bitches who couldn't speak or type worth shit. I spent half of my time trying to decipher the text or calling in to them to see what they were trying to type....LOL!!!!! I thought I was the man!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why were you trying to sweet talk old men over the phone

My worst job was telemarketing. I was a senior in high school and they pay was good. . . But of course I stayed getting cursed out and having dirty old men say "Ooo. . you have a sexy voice. Sound like you a sweet little young thang."

I just up and quit one day. . . that job got on my last nerve.

But as far as this thread is concerned, I think it's safe to say that the universal worst job is having no job at all.

LOL. . . I wasn't sweet talking old men. . I was trying to meet my quota dammit!! LOL. . .

But I agree no job is so much worse.

[DjMorpheus]

Hmmph...I got all you niggas beat.

Fuckin lumber yard on Lawrenceville Hwy called BMSC. Shit was a temp job. Shit was 16,17 years ago but I'll neva forget that shit. Sometimes I drive by that mufucka now and just spit out the window when I pass by that mufucka. I almost lost both my legs at that bitch. Shit was on some modern day slavery. Anyway. You had to be to that bitch at 5 in the mornin or some shit like that. It was before the sun came up. Now the yard as they called it has no shade. And the office is all glass 2 stories high overlookin the yard. So it ain't no slouchin off. This was some 5.50 and hour shit. And the temp co. couldn't keep workers out there because niggas would go out there and work half a day and quit.lol I needed the money tho.

So the sun is beamin like a mufucka all fuckin day and you basically puttin lumber on forklifts and shit like that. Now dig this. They got train tracks that run thru there cause trains bring in the lumber and you have to unload the train cars. So this big fat dude used to tell us from first day he got there "Man I ain't built for this shit!" We be like what. He'd say "Labor nigga...fuck this shit!" So dude would come to work, clock in, first chance he get he would go thru a hole in the fence and walk up to Northlake Mall and chill all day, then come back in the afternoon.lol

So we out here bustin our asses. So one day I was like fuck this I'ma just take a long break. I found a spot over by the fence and a train car was sittin there so it made good shade. So I sit down on the fuckin track next to the fuckin train car wheel facin the yard so I could see if anybody headin my way then I could sneak on back out there.

So I'm chillin. I ain't thinkin bout the car movin cuz it ain't a fuckin engine and the trains come in in the afternoon and blow horns and all that shit. Man I'm sittin there for about a good 30 minutes just giddy cuz I found the perfect spot. Then I hear a squeak and look around. Another squeak. Few minutes later the fuckin car starts movin and I'm sittin right next to the fuckin wheel. This shit took off without makin a fuckin sound. I just happened to catch the fuckin wheel move out the corner of my eye.

Man I jumped out from under that bitch on some Jackin Chan shit. I don't think I ever moved that fast in my life. Then I stood there while the car started movin, heart beatin faster than a mufucka realizin I almost lost my legs for 5.50 an hour.

 

[krownbrown]

telemarketing, trying to get money off poor mofos, then having to listen to them tell of why there poor, and how family members have past away, and as soon as there done, drop a segway to get to the pitch..."i can understand that....(insert pitch)," plus that asshole that was my boss didnt get me a fuckin washroom break dumb cunt.

 

[TurboDerek]

"Mac Genius" at the apple store. Co-workers who never came to work on time was my biggest issue. Working the day after thankgiving/christmas plus never having a full weekend off. I was yelled at everyday because of ipods and people not backing up their data then dropping their laptops. Management with zero computer knowledge making promises about technology that does not exist. Take everything that sucks about working retail but make the cheapest item $300 and the average sale $2k.

 

[PrettyToney]

For 2 weeks during my junior year in college, I worked at a "marketing company" in Alexandria. During the interview, they pushed this big compensation package, but failed to mention that the pay was commission only. These niggas had me sellin office supplies all over the DC area. The hours were 7:00 am- 6:00 pm M-F. And I bought three suits for the job, which in hindsight was a smart move for the future. Oh, and this was definitely the worst job ever b/c, after 2 weeks of full-time work...I made $76! I make that shit in like 5 hours at my job now!

 

[bondsavingsbond]

Shipyard work. Noisy, dirty, cold, wet, hot, cramped and dangerous. Hawking up black shit and nose bleeds everyday. Racist ass redneck mullet sporting crackas, and Kunta Kente house ninjas reminding me how "lucky" i was to work there.

 

[godofwine]

Other than Rally's when I was in high school, I would say Bruegger's Bagels. I worked there for 3 months. TImes were hard, nobody was calling me back. I turned in the application on a "Here. Here is my pride" type of thing. They called me in for an interview and they asked me what my desired salary was and I said $9.00. He said the best he could do is $6.50. Since I was broke, no job prospects AND he didn't budge when I tried to play hardball, I took it.

I hated making bagels and coffee for stuffy white people. I ended up getting fired. The new district manager decided to have a mandatory meeting...on a Sunday...@ 5:30 pm! SUPER BOWL FUCKING SUNDAY!!! Everybody was pissed but nobody said anything. FInally, I spoke up on Thurday when I saw her and asked why on Super Bowl Sunday? She responded like a normal woman would, "I didn't know. I don't watch football." And she resheduled it for the following weekend.

I told her that I couldn't make it because I had the Navy Reserves. I even had one of the dudes from the Reserve Center call her and tell her that I had reserves that weekend. This butch bitch said, "You probably had one of your buddies to set that up for you. One of your homies. You could have called off the reserves. You could have asked one of your homies to give you a ride. The meeting was mandatory and you didn't show up, so you are fired."

It took everything I had to keep from cussing that bitch out. If I had really had reseverves I would have sued, but since I was just trying to get out of it, I couldn't. She would never have said that shit to me in person. Sometimes white people get bold when they have the power in their hands and the cops 2 minutes away. The only reason I didn't hit her or curse her out when I picked up my check was that I didn't want to go to jail. It turns out that me getting fired was a blessing in disguise.

Later on that month I did a poetry spot on St. Clair, and when I missed my stop on the #1, I saw Veterans Industries. I went there, saw a job on the board and 2 months later I had a job that more than doubled that Bruegger's bullshit salary.

 

[JBizzle973]

i had several third shift jobs in the past. i hate them the most.

feels like u got no life when u gotta come home and sleep while everybody waking up. The whole day goes by. On top of that i usually had 2 jobs so i never good a full nite's sleep.

 

[publicenemy]

My worse job ever came after I retired from the Army. I got the opportunity of a "lifetime" to work for Charter Communications! One of the benefits was that I received no cable bill, because I was an employee and I resided in the coverage area. Bottom Line.......... I worked for and with some guys (all white) who were lazy as all get out. No sense of standards, customer satisfaction, or ethics. The customer came absolutely last. I had an idiot ninja for a quality assurance specialist, all he cared about was being a house and pleasing the manager or bossman as he called him. I left after 4 months and put my military background to work in Kuwait making 4 times bi-weekly what I was making there. So if you are ever in Columbus Georgia and subscribe to charter cable, question everything and if a suspect looking uncle tom ninja named Mike Byrd comes by asking about customer service give him an earful!!!!

 

[real-n100]

This is y i dont do that bullshit feel me ...ive had the same job since i was11 yrs old, thats bein on the block keepin it 100 and makin more cake than any one in here feel me. most of yall dont have the heart to do wat i do so keep breakin yall back for chump change.
