“It was eight hours every day for months of endless verbal abuse from customers.”
I recently foundthis Reddit threadwhere people shared their worst jobs.
Here are some of the responses:
1.
“Vet tech in training.
They ended up making me help with all the euthanasia cases.
At least a couple a day.
I started crying all the time and getting completely wasted every night.
Had to quit after a few months.”
It was a fun job for me.
Until we started a rewards program.
Very few people signed up, and our numbers were bad.
The sad thing is that it totally worked.
(That was back in 1999)."
“I worked at a daycare center, and the building was so old and run down.
Mice would run around the children while they slept on their cots during nap time.
I ended up quitting and calling the state on them.”
“I worked at a COVID testing site and had to test hundreds of people a day.
It was A LOT of stress because it was peak COVID.
There were sneezing kids and adults and boatloads of schools and the management was horrendous.
I got COVID three times working at that place .”
“I worked for a third-party company that sells wireless phone service.
The manager would drink on the job and throw tantrums in front of customers.
I actually felt afraid to be with him by myself.
I was then transfered to another store that needed help.
The manager would not accept anything less than our top service plan.
Shed have me purposely add things to people’s plans without asking.
She would meddle with people’s plans in order for us to make money off of it.
I ended up walking out of that job.
So, really look at your cell phone plan and what theyre charging you.
People will do shady shit just to get a small commission off of it.”
“I was waiting tables for $2.13 an hour.
It was especially awful on Sundays when the church crowd would come rushing in.
“At a popular fast food burger spot, my schedule was all over the place.
I could have 40 hours one week, 25 the next, then 0 after that.
The kitchen was always hot during the summer, but they refused to fix the air conditioning.
Management would sit in the office playing games on their phone for their entire shift.
Junkies coming in and passing out was also a common occurrence.
A lot of the time they had to be given narcan in the middle of the restaurant.
Customers were the most horrible human beings.
I had to defend myself multiple times physically.
“Working for travel insurance claims in March of 2020 onwards.
I would create claims for canceled flights, hotels, traveling car centers, etc.
Telling people who just lost their jobs we can’t get them their money back was awful.
It was eight hours every day for months of endless verbal abuse from customers.
I completely understand where they were coming from, but man that job sucked.”
“I worked at a deli that lots of older people frequented.
Wanna know what the job actually was?
Standing in a suit in chain restaurant for 10 hours trying to sell people cell phone service.”
Making beds is no fucking joke.
How people can do it for 10+ years is crazy.
I lasted a week.”
“Cleaning cars for a car rental company.
Cleaning the cars on a hot summer tarmac was bad, but the bosses made it so much worse.
I will not rent from them over the way they treated their employees 28 years ago.
“Working at a hog confinement.
“Front desk at a hotel.
Instead of just giving people regular shifts, you worked first, second, and third.
After months of this, my body didnt know when to sleep or wake.
Mental health went to shit also.”
