What is the absolute worst fucking job you've ever had?

[ShadyPat]

i worked at target too..that shit was horrible...night shift stocking the selves my boss was fine though and they didn't even know when i did not showed up..unless i called in., so it was setting myself up. plus those Mexicans working with us were just working to damn hard and fast..making us look bad.

 

[Finito]

The fuck? Why.. would one pick up garbage in a landfill?

 

[BDR]

Man keep the stories coming

 

[dHustla]

Wal-Mart, cart-pusher.

Then they transfered me to the Garden Center. *btw, fuck the garden center, and fuck the carts, and people leaving carts everywhere, fuck the sun for beaming down on me, fuck that fucking lil reflective vest they had me wear that made me even hotter, FUCK THE RETARD, EXCUSE ME, THE MENTALLY SLOW PERSON THAT THEY HAD PUSHING CARTS WITH ME THAT AIN'T DO NO FUCKIN WORK AND WAS (PHYSICALLY)SLOW AS FUCK!!!!
Fuck the Garden Center because I was the youngest nigga there and thus everybody's slave. Loading 50 lb bags of mulch, pebbles, fertilizer, wood chips, grass food, then rushing back inside to help some fuck-ass get a bike down which ain't even my department, then getting fussed at because I aint' water the plants in the front of the store that the STORE MANAGER just paid to replace and they all burned to hell in the summer sun, then having that same STORE MANAGER fuss at me because I forgot to take out some trash after a 12 hour shift as the ONLY PERSON ON THAT DAY. fUCK THAT BITCH!!! AND SHIT ON HER KITCHEN TABLE!!! And fuck not being able to go to the bathroom because everybody in that bitch wanna ask you a question that you don't know the answer to on your way to the bathroom and by the time you get back on your way to the bathroom somebody paging you back to the garden center through the over-head speaker!!

Just a job you could not fucking wait to quit? I'm 19, 20 in sept, and have only had PT retail jobs, and yeesh, I've hated everyone, but the worst would have to be Target.

I worked overnight at Target during the holiday season for some cash and god damn, there wasn't a positive thing about that place. It was overnight (don't know wtf I was thinking with that), the work was tedious, repetitive, and physically demanding (having to place hundreds of boxes on shelves on top of a ladder can be a bitch, and the managers, oy the managers.

Total dicks. Save one, this chick, I wasn't friendly with her (never friendly with managers,supervisors) but I didn't want to slash her tires at least.

God damn I hated that job. Can't wait to be done with school so I can put on a suit instead of a damn uniform.

That's funny. I worked overnite at Target in Buckhead in Atlanta after I got laid off after the dot-com bust. God I hated that job! Didn't know how much Tide and shit people biught every day!

Fuck Wal-Mart, except for the low prices they have

 

[Jane & Finch]

I detailed cars about 10 years ago.

I remember the day I quit, it was during a heat wave in June and I had some black coveralls on, in a hot shop, in the back of a hot car, with a bucket of hot water, scrubbin' dog shit and puke out of the interior.

PEACE I'M OUT!!!!.

I just walked the f*ck out never to be seen or heard from again, I didnt even want that days pay.

 

[MegaDell]

I only worked in the toy section so that I could work with the lightest stuff when possible. Those toys are pieces of shit, and they are all the same, you notice that, all the same crap.

And none of it was selling, but every night, there were like, two trucks full of crap, but what it was meant to replace, wasn't sold to begin with, so it just stacked and stacked and stacked.

Eventually everyone in the backroom either quit or got fired. One dude, heard he had HIV, got in a fight with the dickiest of managers, Another dude got in an argument and said fuck it. This one white chick quit cause she couldn't be there for her kids.

And did I mention the theft? Them dudes fucked up when they gave us access to the electronics room. They was quick to grab them psp's, and got busted for it quick. I'm not gonna lie, I stole a video game.

Then I was off, came in the next day, found out the police were there the night before and arrested some people, and I was fucking freaked, cause the doors go off if you try to leave without shutting off the alarms, so I couldn't sneak out. They didn't do anything even though I saw cops, so after that I was GONE.

 

[dHustla]

The fuck? Why.. would one pick up garbage in a landfill?

I can't Breathe!!!

 

[Dr. Truth]

The horror of working retail is under estimated because it's not "Manual Labor" but I used to work at Macy's in the womens department when I was in High School and that shit was absolute horror during Xmas. It got to the point I quit on new years day. You have to open the doors up for old ass crackas at 6 am so they can get their morning exorcise walking laps around mall. Then you have to pick up the shit people come and throw back on the floor after you pick it up. Then you got people talking to you like shit. Then you have that music playing over and over in your head that they play day in and day out. I think I know every frank Sinatra song ever made. That shit inspired me to stick with school and go far in medicine. Fuck that shit. I feel sorry for all Macy's floor workers.

Cutco?

 

[dHustla]

Hail Hail the Gang’s All Here.

Yes We Sell The Kirby!
Hail Hail the Gang’s All Here.
Do We Sell The Kirby?
Yes We Sell The Kirby!

selling knives door to door

All man was it called vector? My worst job was when I worked for a telemarketing company called Reses Bros. Selling phones, credit cards, and doing fund raising. People telling me that they were gone to come and kill my mom, and if I had any kids they would kill them too. Shit was crazy, there were a lot fine ass females there though. I had to be there at 8am I used to be so tired I would fall asleep on the phone. People would be down right abuse, I'm gone kill you ****** was there favorite phrase, and because my name is very "ethnic" they knew I was black from the jump.

Second job had to be with Labor Ready. Man I used to have to get there extra early to get a job because if you came any later than 6:30am the fiends would have all the dam jobs. They would a the door as early as 5:30am standing in line. Then they would wanna rush home to hit the plasma center to get extra money because that 50 bucks they had wasn't going be enough to keep them high all day. They used to send us any where, landfills, recycling plants, constructions sites, and mills and shit. Had breathing all kinda asbestos fuck up my lungs.

I went to orientation and walked the fuck out. Let me guess they promised you trips to Mexico, cars and all types of shit for selling so many vacuums per month? When they said them shits were 2 grand I laughed and walked out. Ain't nobody in Philly and South Jersey Paying 2 grand for a god damn vacuum.

 

[jasonblacc]

The fuck? Why.. would one pick up garbage in a landfill?

Because all that shit ain't biodegradable and they want you pick out the shit ain't I had to do that once for Labor Ready.

 

[TurboDerek]

Working as a "Mac Genius" at the local apple store. Think of working at a fast food restaurant with $200-$5000 food. I saw the worst in many people. I would wake up every morning for work with horrible tooth aches. Half the "Mac Genius" team were really poor quality workers. As time passed Apple kept on paying less to the replacement "Mac Genius" so I kept on getting lower quality co-workers.

 

[bigmanfromchi]

McDonalds was my worst job ever. I never thought I'd be so happy to get fired.

Working at McDonald's when I was in high school, and working at the Kroger at Piedmont & Peachtree in Atlanta when I was going to Clark. All of the managers sucked ass there, and many of them were fags.

 

[Spitz]

My current job...been there about 1yr now.

I work at a warehouse for a company that sells unembroidered goods (T-shirts, sweats, hoodies, etc)...Anyway, i work around a bunch of Asian immigrants and ig-nant folk. I got the job through a temp agency. Started @ $9.00/hr staging pick-up orders and loading the boxes in customer's vehicles when the come to pick the shit up. Im doing a 2-man job (as i have replaced to people) and these fucks stiffed me out of my raise. When hired, the agreement was after 6 months my rate would goto $10. After 6 months they didn't even mention it. I had to REMIND them and then they were like..."we didn't say that". They gave me a fiddy cent raise, not a dollar.
Sad thing is:
-they know i replaced 2 people
-they know i work 10 times harder than the last 2 jerks combined
-when i not there, they are hurtin' without me

The reason im still there is because im bout to get my 1week vacation.
I figure a whole week away will open there fuckin' eyes. Imma chat with my supe and if they cant bump me to at least $10.50/hr im out.

Fuckin' transition job.

US POSTAL SERVICE.


Civilians have NO idea what these people go through.

[ClementUT]

I've had three truly terrible jobs through the years:

1) Cutco/Vector Marketing - I still remember how they advertised $11/appointment and how I would get all these people to say that I gave a presentation. They got suspicious to the point where the manager would accompany me to my appointments. That didn't last long and I was gone (along with the demo set) after 5 weeks.

2) The Southwestern Company - Basically they recruited college students to sell books door to door. They pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. You had to sell educational materials in the summer in some place hundreds of miles from your campus. Not only that, but you had to find your own housing with 2 or 3 other people by going door to door with a script. Who in the hell would let 3 random dudes from out of state stay in their house??!! It was especially hard since me and one of the other cats were black and the white dude looked like Screech. We lucked out when a former Southwestern rep allowed us to use his family's apartment while they were gone for the summer. I lucked out even more when the other 2 dudes went back home and I had the place to myself. I made just enough money to catch a Southwest Airlines flight and Greyhound bus trip back to UT.

3) Comcast - Had a job in workforce management. There's no word to describe how shitty that gig was. Quite possibly the worst managed company on Earth. I learned all of their inside tricks and I now know why it is impossible to get decent customer service.

 

[gumbottoms]

My current job. Im a valet supervisor at a high rise condominium in Westwood. Man my job is basically to spoil rich people all day. They are always sure to remind you that you are below them. Unfortunatley Im stuck with it for the moment. My manager and assistant manager are both gay and when they are on there periods life is hell for me.

 

[Number_11]

UPS

Modern day cotton fields.

Worked there while in college.

Tons of black men working hard as they ever did. Handful of white guys tellin' em to, "work harder... or we'll make it worse."

After leaving that hell hole got straight A's.

Cutco - I used to bust my ass selling knives for these white boys. They used to call every day at 10AM and 10PM. They would call me up and tell me to come to their office for an important meeting. Their headquarters in Bayridge was about a 2 hour trip each way. Motherfuckers would have me travel for 2 hours just to say good job keep it up or hey sell more knives buddy. One day I just snapped and barked on the motherfucker that gave me the 10AM call. The people are assholes but those knives are great. I still have all the demo knives and the scissors that cut pennys.

TSA - How many times can you tell these stupid motherfuckers the same thing before you lose your mind?

 

[icepicc]

negro please tell me you didnt work for Cutco?
Cutco was hustling all broke college students in the east coast.

shit I did, was making good money with them until i ran out of referrals then i had to quit because i wasn't getting paid....

Worst job ever was a construction job i had over the summer, we were paving driveways and cementing sidewalks in 100 degree heat, I spent most of my shift trying not to pass out.. I gained a whole new respect for construction workers...

 

[hålo]

This sh/t was so bad they have their own hate message board!
Can't understate how demeaning it is to have customer's ask me (a college graduate)"what are you going to do after you graduate?" because they all assume that nobody with a degree would be working there. We were always shortstaffed and even if we didn't have enough cars we always had to type up the rental agreement because we "always have cars". And always forced to lie to customer's that thier car that they were waiting 30 minutes for and which doesn't exist is just getting cleaned up in the back.

The lying and misleading I had to do made me feel like a car salesman and it opened my eyes to how some businesses treat customers.

Muuhhh fuckas ain't buying that shit in NY neither. Got the carpet, walls, couches and beds cleaned by them mofos then comes in some white bitch looking to "close" the deal.

$1900 came out that ladies mouth, She got one of the quickest escorts out the crib a nigga ever did witness.

 

[RUDY RAYYY MO]

There's a sports authority in the mall here. It's mostly empty.

Seriously, the perfect job, IMO, would be to work at one of the little kiosk in the mall, all those people EVER do, is sit and surf the internet on their laptops, they don't even try to sell you shit, they just like fuck it.

how the fuck does sport auth stay open them bitches are always empty.

I also worked at TARGET as a stocker/order puller for additional income. Some bad bitches worked there so it wasnt that bad until I realized I was slaving for them crakers for 6.50 a hr

 

[Adam Knows]

Teaching in the hood

[NnubianN]

Messenger boy for the NY Times 25 years ago. Had to be in by 8 AM, made me go all over Manhattan from Harlem to Wall St, river to river, had to use my own carfare and justify every nickel to get reimbursed and sometimes worked til after nightfall. All for the luxurious amount of $4 hour

[johniz]

hahahahaha

I never get tired of these threads. Makes me nostalgic and appreciative.

I can relate because I have had them ALL (except security--got my license but it seemed too boring). I have worked

FOOD SERVICE (Mc'Ds, Dennys as a dishwasher, BK),

RETAIL (at Busch Gardens),

CUSTOMER PAMPERING, in person and over the phone

COLD CALLING,

MANUAL LABOR (UPS was EASY compared to PEPSI--12-16 hr days of lifitng, driving and having to put up with 10 diff't supermarket managers)

To Professional job such as a REPORTER in a small community with a cofffee breath sup.

CHILD CARE--YMCA and a daycare center

MENTAL HEALTH CARE-- coll job that had NO advancement for someone with my skills.

Damn. It's been an interesting on-going journey. MOst of us WILL NOT be happy working for someone else, unless it's HELPING someone else.

 

[cbm_redux]

Working in a factory that made parts for cars. It was my second job out of high school, and the money wasn't bad at the time. However, production work is just too mind numbingly boring for me. All I kept thinking about was how do these motherfucker keep coming back to such as repetitive and uninteresting job day after day, year after year.

I quit--and I shit you, not--during my lunch break on the first day.

Lol! I stopped by there one afternoon just to see how things went and it was on a ghetto ass strip so bad there were niggas just layin on the sidewalk like dead bodies rockin bubble jackets in 90 degrees. These 2 chickens buzz me in. I ask whats up with this place. One bitch ignores me and continues to talk on the phone. The other one said we dont do background checks and you gotta get here early. I'm thinkin how early... she said like 530-6am. I'm like okaaaaaaay. See you tomorrow! It took me a fuckin hour to get there! Would have to be up like 330 am to get ready. I'm like man this shit is for Mexicans and pipers I didn't think for a second about ever comin back.
