In a nod to Derek and Clive... But no stealing... What was the worst job you ever had..?

Mine was cleaning the baking trays in a bakery at 3am followed by squirting jam into 4 trays of doughnuts at 5am...this was also a long time before food hygiene had been invented

I worked about 4 hours for the council. I walked out after I was asked to clean shit from a stairwell. It wasn’t an animals.

Hardest and worst jobs are difficult to mention, because I’ve done some that are hard. But that above was not for me.

I worked for a company for 5 years was ok until the ceo found out (or guessed, decided) I was gay. After inviting me out for a beer the evening before to “confront” me with this, the next day he told 70 or so people (in front of me) and said I should “be gassed”.

Same day I was asked into a meeting room by one of his managers who told me that if I made an issue of what the ceo had done he would “break my face”.

Needless to say my mental health took a bit of a battering. I left. A good job turned into the worst in about 2 hours of my life.

I've had good jobs made unbearable by poor managers and vice versa.

However, the worst part of a job I ever did was having to wear self contained breathing apparatus and go into a sewage tank of a ship that was in dry dock to shovel the sediment into drums so the tank could be cleaned properly. I swear I could smell raw sewage for months afterwards.

What a pair of utter, utter cunts. I don’t care how long ago it was (you know how people sometimes say “it was what we did back then”) that is disgraceful behaviour towards another human being.

Probably missed the boat on litigation now but please think of something delightfully fiendish to do!

Was years ago. I didn’t have the confidence then I have now. Company closed down. It’s just a bad experience now. But thst (and an incident during a more recent job) convinced me 100% that being out is actually safer than being in the closet.

Fruit picking in Bundaberg, Australia. Had this romantic idea of casually strolling through fields in the sunshine picking the odd piece of fruit here and there.

The reality was up at 5am, working like a dog for $10 and hour in the searing heat with an overweight Australian farmer shouting expletives at you. I was picking mangoes that released an acidic sap when picked and dyed your skin red. Lasted 3 weeks before I swapped it for a bar job.

Many moons ago, when I was a young student, I worked in the cosmetic factory. I used to sit behind the conveyor belt putting pumps on bottles for 8 hrs straight and I had to do fast, otherwise all the contents would have spilled at the end of conveyor belt and I would get in a shit trouble. It was very stressful but so boring too.

I worked in a call centre in London fir around 6 weeks while waiting a start date on another position and needing something I could walk straight in to.

We were cold calling selling BT phone and Internet packages, impossible sales targets and quite literally no one, including the managers gave a fuck. I think I managed a sale 2 or 3 times a week ajd was high achieving, the target was 1 or 2 an hour.

This posh insurance company in Edinburgh where you had to clock off to go for a pish then clock back on again. That was their idea of flexitime, so you had to stay late to make up your hours. You also had to store your stuff in a locker room before you could clock on at your desk, but not at the entrance. I didn't stay longer than I had to. It was pre desktop era so everything was done on steam driven calculators. Could have been worst though, like amazon warehouses today where you have to piss in a bottle lol.

That's really tough. The period after leaving the armed forces is always hard. Unfortunately some of us can't never adapt to the "normal" life.

How long ago have you try for the police? You can always have another go, unless you really have major hearing problems.

I was horrified by your earlier post - but this one has made me take a step back again… how in 2023 is someone’s sexuality any business of anybody but the individual? I don’t even consider someone’s sexuality it’s just not even a discussion- people are either nice ir they’re a nob. That’s it - the only important criteria for me. From your posts it seems like society still has a lot of growing up to do.

Manchester (she/her)

Fast food call centre.

The location was a secret because of the number of credible death threats against the staff because we couldn't customise the way they wanted, honour all coupons, pick up cigarettes on the way, magically make stores not closed (yes, that exploded oven 300 miles away is definitely my fault), be in every store in all parts of Australia, and more besides.

My favourite part of the job was when people would prank call us. I gave zero fucks about my official metrics. When it wasn't busy I'd just let them talk, particularly when they called us from a mobile. Oh you want used condoms as part of your special with a side of (illegal stuff) and turds? Well I'm very sorry sir we can't do that but can I interest you in... (Thinking: you're calling on a mobile. This has cost you at least $10. I hope it's worth it. It amuses me)

Once went working for a past work colleague who started his own carpentry company..

First few weeks were OK however over time I realised he had zero business skills or customer service skills, the clients project manager told him he was going to get kicked off the job..

Mondays were atrocious he would be extremely hungover and the mood swings were something I don't tolerate, it's probably the longest iv stayed in a job I was unhappy in! 8 weeks and I only stayed to help him get the company off its feet!

Don't stay with people or companies the don't respect you or your skill sets simple.

Same day I was asked into a meeting room by one of his managers who told me that if I made an issue of what the ceo had done he would “break my face”.

Needless to say my mental health took a bit of a battering. I left. A good job turned into the worst in about 2 hours of my life. "

Wow!! Some folks are wired up the wrong way.

Worked in a call centre, co workers were cool.

Management stuck up morons who ruled the place like their personal fiefdom.

I got rejected for my at the time bad teeth. Said it would make their reputation look bad. I said have you seen the state of your staff. Half of them have never seen a bar of soap, never mind about my dental infection. Which is now fixed. Sex mad manager employed a blonde with big tits who a week into the job, poured coffee over a customer. All the brains.

McDonald's can get fucked.

That's really tough. The period after leaving the armed forces is always hard. Unfortunately some of us can't never adapt to the "normal" life.

How long ago have you try for the police? You can always have another go, unless you really have major hearing problems.

Did you not adapt well to leaving the armed forces? It took me a long time to adapt, just over 5 years to find myself again"

I'm now fully adapted but was a bit hard in the beginning. I went form a "job" that was a life style that also gave me a great purpose in life to something that didn't.

To be honest time to time I still miss it...

Worst job I ever had... was working for Tarmac in a concrete factory. On my first day I was told they are the 3rd worst employer to employee's in the UK. And I think they were trying to be number 1.

Never had a bad job, had a few bad and bullying managers, but I've always set my stall out with them early on

Somewhere near here

Either toys r us…was so boring and the manager got so shirty when I told her I was leaving. Or a little cafe in cleethorpes, I was 16, the kitchen was tiny and the 50+ greasy owner could get through the kitchen without grabbing my arse as he squeezed past. I decided I wasn’t going to turn up when enough was enough. Place is still open and sends me shudders when I see it

B&M - shit job, shit pay, the then manager and area manager were creeps. It was so disorganised and a crap environment to work, people getting hired and fired in the same breath, staff turnover was very high. I could be here all day speaking about how poorly I and many others were treated. Ugh

Sales. "Qualified leads", so the call centre said. Out to the customer's house. It's a lovely old woman, late 70's. Made me a nice cup of tea. She didn't really need the thing I was selling. I told her, "You know what, it's 20K, but I think you should keep it. What you have is alright. Yes it's a bit old and worn, like us all really. Save it for the grandkids (photos on the mantelpiece)”.

I decided there and then, I cannot in good conscience attempt to pry a large sum of money from such a vulnerable person, especially since she might not have lived much longer to enjoy it anyway. I rationalised it was far better for her to spend in on her family. She could have been my mum. She wasn’t, but she was someone else’s. We had a lovely chat, and I said goodbye.

I’ll never go back to sales again. Yuk.

Working at Matalan when I was at sixth form. The managers (mainly 20-somethings) were domineering and rude and the customers seemed to take pleasure in deliberately ballsing up the displays of folded jeans or putting everything on the wrong hangars or leaving crap all over the changing rooms.

I didn't need £2.80 an hour that desperately so I quit and got a job as a temp doing admin etc. Much better!

I miss the people and sometimes the job itself but I don't miss moving every 2 years and being away from family and friends.

I did work experience in their Lewisham branch. It was much the same. Treat schoolies like shit. It was unpaid too.

Being James Bond’s doctor.

The ungrateful git wouldn’t take any medication I prescribed or give enough time for his injuries and wounds to heal.

Thankless bloody job.
