I hope I get a job as a guinea pig to test legal weed on or massaging devices. I got a lower back massage machine for christmas from my partner and it kicks so much rear end. I have an HBK lower back injury I have sold for most of my adult human life and it's really doing me good. I wish I had an entire massage suit I could strap into like a mech and feel no pain, this suit would only massage me platonically not romantically at all, but I may fall in love with it for alleviating so much of my misery, like a silent film version of "Her".

A couple of job havers here. Congrats What's the worst job you've all had? I worked as a motel snack stand fry cook one summer and I regularly had angry, hungry tourists berate and belittle me. One time a woman spat in my face because she didn't like our brand of coffee.

Take it from me, chronic neck pain man I have been wanting to try this stuff for ages, I need to post covid but i'll look into the mats. Prokhor Zakharov posted:yo what in the gently caress Dude it was so terrible. I was really, really good at the boiled peanuts and they were the best in town but the rest I was really bad at so 1/3 of my customers were happy the rest would tell me how much of an idiot I was. The business didn't last long, the only benefit was it would be slow most days but when it wasn't it was hell. Also every person who came to get a snowcone wanted seventeen different flavors and it was just a brown gross thing and then they'd complain it was gross but like dude you mixed bubblegum with 10 different fruits and pina colada.

One of my first jobs out of high school was working security for the Minneapolis convention center and during the auto show I was assigned to a sideroom where they were showing off a big gently caress-off pick up truck for rich suburbanites and they had the in-vehicle theater system going but the person demoing it was absent for the entire day so it just blared a 30-second loop of swelling heroic music from the dvd menu of whatever movie was in it for 8 hours and then when I finally got off my shift my boss came and yelled at me for looking bored and annoyed.

don't want to talk about it but let's just say—for my own protection on here—it was a form of m*rder, known as c*ntract kill*ng, and in that line of work you spend more time going back and forth saying "you prove it" until the other party breaks and gives you what you need than anything else

My worst job was logging the entirety of SCAD’s student film library. Watching thousands of student films for 5 dollars an hour is a hell I wish upon no one. Or, this soul crushing call center job out of college but I walked out before it could get too bad.

I mean my real worst job would be many of the fast food places I worked as a high schooler or college student. My worst adult job was working in the marketing department for a college textbook wholesaler. So my job was to lie to college bookstores about why they should use us as their middleman from the publisher and then provide bookstores helpful tips for how to lie to their students that they should totally pay $360 for the latest edition of that textbook because one picture changed in the appendix. The pay was barely livable for my area, the environment sucked working for good ol boys and a marketing director who clearly didnt want to be there any more than the rest of us did, and everyone in sales was just a royal rear end stain and we had to work with them all the time. The worst part was we had to help certain college bookstores do their end of term buybacks as a perk for working with us. A lot of people liked doing that cuz it was a paid work trip so if you got a big out of state school in a cool town that could be fun, but the first time I volunteered for it I got placed with a school in town and that was pointless and terrible and also soul sucking cuz I was sitting in a tent in the dead of winter telling poor college kids their $200 textbook was worth $14.50 so we could take that book and then sell it to another school for $100 and that school could in turn sell it for $175 used. So I vowed never to do that poo poo again, until the next year I was specifically approached because they needed buyback staff at the University of Colorado-Boulder, so work was gonna fly me out to a weed state in the mountains. Naturally I agreed. Turns out, this was what some might refer to as "the old bait and switch," and they didn't end up needing anyone for Boulder, but knowing I was available for that week, they were more than happy to send me to run the buyback booth at a community college in Moberly, Missouri, which is exactly as cool of a place as you are imagining. So they pissed me off real bad and then handed me a bag of cash with about 3x my annual salary in it and gave me the keys to a company van. If I knew seedier people or had a cousin in the Bahamas I absolutely would have thought about just loving off with the cash. Instead I held on for a few more months and have a much better job now.

My worst job in terms of treatment was working in the food industry. They did not treat me well, the customers either. They made me get in this inflatable suit as like the mascot of Quiznos and dance by the road. In the summer. In New Orleans. With no ventilation. I had a heat stroke. The most stressful job I ever had that actually made me change careers was working at a local news station as the executive producer of their morning show. They paid way less than the amount of work they gave you was worth, the benefits were none and there was unreasonable expectations.

i worked at a pet store for 2 days once. they hired me to be a fish guy but they put me on a 12 hour shift and i spent my first day cleaning porcupine enclosures and they made me drive a dog to the vet in the middle of a blizzard on the second day. so i just didn't show up anymore and they went out of business shortly after. probably because of me.

I worked at Sonic for one shift. Everyone in there was Mormon and really racist towards black people. While washing dishes I slipped on the disgusting greasy floor and landed flat on my back, my hand still gripping the pressure hose for the sink caused it to go off directly in my face as I hit the ground. I walked out and never went back for my pay for that day

I worked an office job for a few months a loooooong time ago and it was a soul crushing misery I would never wish on anybody. The lovely factory job I worked briefly straight out of school was better than that. Just day after day sitting at a desk, typing up reports, being bewildered as to how ANYBODY could give a poo poo about office politics, with the "highlight" of the week being Friday night drinks where people only talked endlessly about their accounts while knocking back enormous amounts of cheap wine. I was so glad to get out of there, and so happy I've managed to avoid office jobs ever since.

I worked for a local cheese maker for a few weeks before being fired for being too slow. Which really means I was the only person who wasn't a family member and I had no interest in learning all the family gossip. My job was mostly flipping wheels of cheese in the brine and helping them smoke cheese. Sometimes I worked the counter of the attached giftshop but they would make you follow everyone around and I hated that.

My worst job was when I was a bouncer for a strip club. The dancers hated us because the owner made us break up touching and they wanted to turn tricks anyway, the patrons hated us because this shithole was basically a brothel, only the bartenders were on our side. It was just godawful every day. I quit after a week when the owner wanted us to run the pockets of drunks we tossed and put that into the tip pool.

the worst job i ever had was probably my one day stint training to be a store manager for a little caesars out here and finding out my pay was almost half of what they told me it would be during the hire process (they told me $18 an hour but then during training i was told it was $11 an hour). i went home halfway through my shift and actually scored an interview that led me to my current job the very next day.
