Anything outbound in a call center. I was group-hired with 32 people and when they fired me 90 days later the count of people hired with me went from 3 to 2. Telemarketing is the worst job- it has all of the horror of dealing with the general public without any of the satisfaction of even occasionally feeling like you might have helped someone. I mean even a clerk in a porn shop is going to sometimes help someone find what they're looking for, you know? Outbound telemarketing, you never ever help anyone or make their day better in any way. You have no satisfaction. All you have done is piss people off and interrupt their day. Everyone hates you, you contribute nothing to anyone, and your bosses are constantly looking over your shoulder hassling you for a bunch of made-up numbers poo poo with stupid acronyms.

I've had worse bosses by far, but I've never had a job I hated as much as outbound call center work.

Customer service of any kind, in real life, over the phone, whatever. I'd rather clean toilets than deal with the average retardo. I guess thats why I like my current job as an oilfield trucker. Go on weird adventures in the middle of nowhere in extreme weather conditions, by myself. A few minutes a day dealing with Halliburton retardos but for the most part working solo.

I have worked in outbound call centers and also worked through the middle of the night night after night cleaning tour buses before they go out the next day. The tour buses had chemical toilets that had to be dumped, which involved getting them over a floor drain and opening the valve. You didn't line it up right, or some moron designer put the drain for that bus in the center instead of the side? 50 people's poo poo is now splashing all over the bay floor. Better grab a hose. I also got into those toilet-closet things in the back, sprayed cleaning solution all over, and scrubbed the toilet including getting off the crusted-up shitstreaks off the inside of the toilet chute. God help you if the bus had had indian people or people eating indian food.

Outbound call center customer service was worse.
