Salmon_Run Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 What was the worst employment you've ever held and why? Mine was as an "transportation specialist" for the radiology department at a local hospital for a winter. I wore a blue smock and had to transport patients from all over the hospital and emergency room to radiology and drop them off, cold and shivering, in the hallway, only to return them hours later to their room. The boss was a freaking witch and I worked every weekend and holiday on the schedule even though we were suppose to "rotate". I was part time with no benefits and worked over 40 hours weekly. It sucked !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkeyfeathers Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Underwear model but as mentioned before I got let go for stuffing a sock in them. Nobody ever told me to stuff the sock in the front and not the back. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now in my wisdom I realize that for $6.00 an hour it was cheaper to have my dumb ass do it! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampy Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Worked in a slaughterhouse for beef and pork. It stunk bad in the summer, never did get used to it. Was low man, so got all the crap jobs. But I did learn how to cut meat! And still use that skill today! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I spent one summer as a teenager sealing driveways for some guy. That job did not have anything good about it. Start early, get covered in tar and sealer and bake your ass off all day every day. Haul tar, spread tar and clean tar and smell tar and taste tar and dream tar lol......... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowin Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I made pens. The machines were a foot operated press of sorts. If you were to quick with your foot,or too slow removing your fingers after putting whatever piece on there, you got some sore fingers. That and I would get wicked Charlie horses every night from pushing that dam petal a couple hundred dozen times a day. 2nd was in a cabnet shop. You weren't allowed to talk to your coworker. The theory was talking would slow you down and production would suffer. Lasted there a week before I left for lunch and never returned.

It was a nice little gig for showing up to a party after people were already drinking . One of my buddies would order a big foot pizza and not pick it up , more then likely the boss would let me have it when my shift was done . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landtracdeerhunter Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Crappiest job I had was cleaning out pig pens in high school. Boy. that was hard work. No cab on the tractor and the wind always blew in the wrong direction, LOL. Few months later, went to work for the county highway department and stopped working all together. Card playing was fun though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckmaster7600 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Never had a bad job, on paper the worst job I had was when I was in the service and about to get out I did nothing and was bored so I got a job at tractor supply. My boss loved me and I could do whatever I wanted. Quickly got promoted to lawn mower out together guy and worked in a air conditioned tent out back. Made crappy money but it gave me something to do and I got screaming deals on 2 gun safes that got dented when I was unloading them.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
