Worst job you ever had?

[big fell!]

Working in Belgium a few years ago as a game keeeper and the rearing pens for the chicks were under ground in a old farm building and i got the job of cleaning them out... It was unbearably hot and smelled sooo bad! Did some amazing stuff over there aswell though...

Belgiums dead flat, so I suppose rearing the birds underground makes them fly high?

Haha good one...The chicks were only in there for a few weeks then moved to a larger rearing pen outside. It was easier to regulate the temp inside as they still get harsh frosts on clear nights over there.

Strange finding this old thread, some of the members who don't post anymore.

 

Mine was working at a brickworks, dusty, noisy monotonous. Only stuck it out for two days.

Telesales was mine. Did one morning when I was in Australia in the 2001. I was selling mobile phones. I had to call someone on a mobile to try to sell them a mobile. I lasted one morning which was one morning too long. There is only so many times you can be told to sod off!

I've done a few menial jobs (pot washing in a pub, helped on a gang clearing blocked drains) but the worst job I've had was made that way by the boss, not the work itself. Many things are tolerable when everyone is in it together; in my case I had a boss who gave no support or steer but wanted everything done yesterday. I lasted nine months.

 

When I left uni, I went to a temping agency in Manchester and got offered a place starting the next day on the Salford City Council council tax helpline. I was desperate but not that desperate...

Worked on a concrete gang on the south coast really crap wages meant long hours of backbreaking work.

 

Sweeping sand back onto the beach at Bournemouth ,7 miles of the stuff then back to the beginning again.

 

Lots of really crap agency work in factories etc.. (No wonder I ended up on drugs)

I cleaned out the toilet blocks for the British Army at Otterburn Camp for 6 weeks before I went to Uni.

That was a crap job.
