Tell us your worst job ever.

I worked as a flyer inserter during the summer. They paid mimum wage and had us stand for 6 hrs straight everyday.

Oh man, I totally forgot I did that. That was my first job. I was a flyer inserter for the Mississauga News. The worst was waking up every Saturday at like 4:30 because the papers had to be out early morning. You wouldnt know when the shift would end. Standing up for hours on end. Man that sucked.

My other crappy job was in the summer in my university years. Use to make shock absobers. You would get totally dirty, constant standing, it was a factory so would get blazing hot in the summer. Some of the shocks were big and heavy, the ones for the hummer were massive. Like 5 times the size of a regular shock.

Pretty much any job where you have to punch a time card sucks.

Padding your post count? Pretty much all of your posts lately have revolved around $2, a can of coke, and something else totally unrelated to the topic of discussion.

security for a crappy company
-didnt provide company cars so i had to drive my car all over the map

-often had to drive an hour just to get to the location

-they were cheap ****ers and wouldnt pay my gas because i wasnt high up in the company to warrant driving one of their 3 security cars

-we recevied k9 training so we also had to take a dog, a shedding german sheppard that slept in the backseat all night and left hair and scratches and smells all over my poor car.

-working 12 hour overnight shifts on the weekend when my friends are out partying and im watching an empty warehouse

-all i could do was sit there, i brougth books but read then many times over

-durign the winter i prayed the factory/warehouse had an external outlet for power, so i could run my extension cord and little heater in teh car, if not i was ****ed, i would have to idle my car for most of the night just to keep from freezing, and i most likely messed the car up because of that

-absolutely not worth the 8/hour ir eceived, by teh time i factored in gas i was making 5-6/hour

- i dont know how i lasted 3 mths but i was so glad to be gone

-Secruity guard at the concerts: Very loud music, no breaks in between, although you can watch all the hot girls...but still, I dont like loud musics

The worst job ever is working at a mushroom farm.
What's the pay? You decide, pick as much as you can and make as much as you can. $1 for a large box of small mushrooms, and $2 for a small box of large mushrooms.
How long are you expected to be there? Until you are done your own section of mushrooms. It's psycholocically, emotionally, mentally painful. After starting 5am and going home at 2 am the next day and waking up 6 am and staying there till 10 pm. I didn't want to work and just laid outside under the moon light. I let my parents do the rest.

So how long does it take to make about $8 an hour? I don't know 5 hours. You cannot train or teach yourself techniques, as how to do something faster, as other jobs can. It's too simple. Grab mushrooms, cut with knife, drop the roots in the root bucket, throw the mushrooms in the proper sorted box.

What's the environment like? You enter a room with a big door in it. The floor is cement. there are 4 rows. It's made out of wood and each of the 4 rows have beds of mushrooms. Tons of mushrooms grow. And it takes 3 days for new mushrooms to grow so you have tons to cut all the time. Some rooms will smell like **** and there will be mini ants that crawl all over you while you try to cut them. You have a sort of metal made platform, this is where you put your boxes and where you sit/stand. You can crank up this platform to reach the mushrooms on the higher levels of the rows. Sometimes, you are alone in one small room. And there are only 3 lights in the room and it's totally dark. The fun part of the job is petting the dog who is locked away as a security dog who is left to live in a wooden fence with no way of exiting it other than jumping over the fence. The dog drinks rain water and eats left over rice. The dog poos all over his area and by the looks of it, it's going to be there until the flies eat it all up.

I think that one trumps all of them. Even my worst jobs (telemarking and delivering papers @ night).

My dad did that for a day when he was laid off a few years back. He came home as if he saw someone get shot, and since then, never touches mushrooms...

Don't know what happened, but for sure it prolly ain't pretty
