Working at a Chicken Plant. At the time it was the most I had ever made at $7.25/hr. I worked from 3:24pm-until. That shyt was depressing. I was a sorter. So I had to stand in one place and sort rock hard frozen chicken from 3:24pm-Until, sometimes until 12:30am. There was more illegal aliens and more work release people than a little bit. The female work release prisoners was selling p*ssy in the bathrooms during lunch break. It's so many stories that I have about that place it's unbelieveable. They got shut down when immigration came in and took 70% of the work force.

a manufacturing company having to push & pull heavy ass boxes with an electric pallet jack for 12hrs. horrible hours(7pm-7am). hot as hell. felt like pure shyt everyday i woke for work. body aching everyday and slept my off days away due to being so tired. and on top of all that the supervisor was the biggest a$$hole ive ever encountered in my life. that gig made me realize that A JOB CAN fukk YOUR ENTIRE LIFE UP.

im single with no kids so i quit after 1 month with no other job lined up but it made me think what if i had a family to support and couldnt afford to quit? my life woulda been a living hell being stuck there till i found something new

UPS trailers :snoop:

The pay was horrible with relatively few hours during the week, the work was extremely tiring and took place from 10 at night till 3 in the morning, and the trailers where I had to unpack and load parcels into were so fukking hot during the summer. It was also depressing seeing so many undereducated forty somethings work there. My two months there made me realize that if I could sustain that kind of a working environment, I could easily conquer anything academically.

:myman:

Nothing like a shytty job to motivate you academically. I left my job to go back to school, taking organic and I love hearing the undergrads piss and moan about how hard it is. I'll be chatting with 'em agreeing and shyt and then they ask me how I did on the exam (class avg was 50) and I'm like 96.

:beli:

Lockerroom Attendant, between Jr and Sr year of high school.

Basically, I worked at a community center in the projects in the lockerroom. Basically mopping and cleaning bathrooms and shyt. Though on the bright side, the pool was closed for a while and we didn't get too many people, so we had a decent amount of downtime. Even got some Monopoly games in. :smh:

Worst job was at Dunkin Donuts. Only stayed one day, orientation. I quit. I don't think I got paid for even going to that. It was a brand-new Dunkin Donuts and they were training us. We packed in grease into the fryers. That was disgusting. I didn't eat donuts or dough-fried pastries for over 6 years after that, literally. It grossed me out.
Then, they trained us on how to fry donuts. We move these steel racks from a table to the fryer and back to the table using there metal hooks. The racks are heavier with donuts on them and are even heavier after they are fried. So, we are training with empty racks and no grease in the fryers. You hold the hooks with your hands, let the bottom of the hook go under the rack, you pick it up, move it to the fryer, and then move the hooks outward to release the rack.This old dude was practicing and he dropped one side of the rack into the fryer. No donuts or grease so it was safe. When I saw that, I was like forget this job. I signed up for summer college courses.

I worked at Ponderosa Steakhouse as my first job. It wasn't bad. I worked as the fry cook. Except, once, I burned my fingers almost. Sometimes, people would order the baked fish, only old geezers would. But, I put the fish onto a metal plate and that goes into the oven with the baked potatoes. When the fish is done, I use tongs and pull out the metal place. One day, I had a baked fish order. I do the usual and put it into the oven. I work on other orders. Minutes later, I look up and see the order for the baked fish and I'm like, it's done. I open the oven, grab the metal plate with my hand, pulled it out, then I realized it was super hot, I yelled and I immediately dropped it. The manager came over and asked if I was okay. Oddly enough, I wasn't burned that bad. I guess it was like the walking on hot coals thing, if you aren't thinking it's hot, then it's not. I don't believe I was touching that plate for about a half second. The Ponderosa job wasn't the worst. It was pretty fun except for the fish plate incident. When they switched to having a huge buffet, that was nuts. People would be yelling at me, the fry cook, because there weren't chicken wings. I don't control the menu. The manager does! I think half the town became obese after they created the huge all-you-can-eat buffet.
