What was your worst job?

[TheBigBopper]

I was an unloader in college and it was bad but it had some perks. They offered me a supervisor position after a year. I was like I'm only here until I finish college. But its a good gig for someone in college or even part time if you can handle the heat. I worked the twilight shift.

There are better on-campus jobs than that bullshyt. I was making 12 bucks an hour editing videos for my school in my position after my UPS stint.

Better pay.
Much more comfortable environment.
More fulfilling work.

Unloading and loading trailers is monotonous and physically exhausting.

I worked at three different movie theatres, this never happened. And considering I got in trouble at one, and fired from the other two, If I dreamed of doing this, I'd have Been fired.

Truth be told I only worked box office like three times.

 

[Killer Instinct]

McDonald's. Senior year of high school. Parents wanted me to work for a couple of months for the experience. Basically on some, "Stay focused or this will be your future." I worked about three or four months for prom and pocket money. Came in one day before the shift and handed in my uniform. Yeah, I was already an honor student but I lived in the books in after that. Always stayed focused.

Professionally - Had a job out on Long Island (eff dat), micro-management, cliqueish management.

 

[Vandelay]

Materials manager for this automotive parts company. Senior management buried their head in the ground about the state of the department they hired me to manage.

The previous manager demoted himself, my hiring manager demoted herself after my third week in the role, no one was on the team longer than 6 months when I was hired, I worked every damn Saturday for the 4 and 1/2 months I was there, the OJT was non-existent.

Eventually I got blamed for the state of the department and the fukkers started attacking my character and basic administrative skills. Ended up cussing my boss out and telling him I would quit tomorrow and have another job in a week if I wanted to. Ended up finding another job within a month.

Damn I did the exact same shyt but for Burger King but I probably worked for 6 months or so. I went to prom, then grad bash and quit. My boss wasn’t even surprised. She knew all the high school kids did this

Mine was car salesman for Chevy…. Back when I was in college and it was 1 summer I was in between jobs but needed something till school started

There was an ad in the paper that they was hiring, the first 3 for training/orientation time you was guaranteed a specific salary (no commission)

Man that job was boring as shyt….. I sold maybe one car in the 3 months I was there

White boy tried to come in and get a Corvette but his credit was like and ended up selling him a used Avalanche


Trash hours, basically 8am-8pm, only Sundays and I believe Mondays off.

Also at the time I had Braids…. Like AI type shyt. And my white bosses kept hassling me about my “presentation” and “when am I gonna cut my hair” type shyt.


But I was always like “the barbershops closed Or Sundays and my day off (back then legit it seems like all shops was closed on Mondays) and also nothing is open after 8pm.

I’m like “what you want me to do?”

Straight up…. There’s some sharks in the car sale business at dealerships and you really gotta live off that “word of mouth” shyt.


Like if you do sell, already be like “please refer me”

If you have no references and can’t get that new person first, you cooked

wrote an essay about this way in a college class afterwards, age 20,

cleaning up trash overnight at the stadium, for an entire season, every single home game, sometimes two a day, cleaning up all the trash from a stadium of up to like 40,000 people. Row by row. Piece by piece. Got promoted to running the trash bags up the stairs, sometimes a dozen, 15, at a time, dripping trash all over my clothes, my skin, through the gloves, over and over until like 5 in the morning.

There was things to appreciate looking back, we all used to smoke and drink before and after, and it was all pretty much lil gangsters from all over the city, and we would be in all the different neighborhoods smoking blunts and drinking bottles after hours, which none of us would do, if not for that job. Like 6 of us, on a blunt, in our uniforms on the block at like 5:00 Am, and no one bothered us.

Also, that sense of gratitude for that experience. I see some of those dudes around, the ones that are still alive, and they all have good jobs and seem happy. we always have that little bond of that summer. we used to literally pick up trash together.

but the visceral feelings of that trash feel on my skin and through my clothes gives me chills. Can remember staring across at people on rooftop clubs and just wondering what that was like.

Working for a ship yard.
That shyt was some hard ass work.
Every dam day, I felt like I was dying of a heat stroke. Working on a tug boat was a bytch too. 12 on 12 off. Stuck on a boat for weeks at a time.
