I worked for a landscaping company. Had to work like a nigger and water pants and move trees around all day. Then I just started hiding in the back away from the customers. Some nigger baboon monkey lady harassed me one time because she got pissed off that I didn’t know where the lion garden statues were. Only good part was being outside. I got paid slave wages

my first job- paperboy

have to buy your newspapers, take a loss if they get destroyed by rain or snow or animals, sell door-to-door subscriptions, go door-to-door to collect money, get up at 4:30 AM to wrap papers, and ride a bike around half the town delivering hundreds of papers as fast as possible before school starts. All for a bout $114 per month. Which my parents told me they were saving for when I moved out but actually spent on ice cream and hi-fi equipment.

it was ridiculously lame. I'm a bit sad newspapers aren't a thing anymore so you guys will never know how bad it really is.

Went to university in London (I'm American). Lived in Grove Park which is zone 4 iirc, I was working at this pub in St. Paul's but wanted to work a little closer to home since the commute was like an hour so I tried working at this gastropub down the street from my house.

Interview went good, place seemed relatively chill, not very busy and staff seemed alright, manager was decent. Did a trial shift and everything went well, started my first real shift and immediately the manager (male) started being a giant cunt for no reason to me, super passive aggressive even though I was doing fairly well. Assistant manager was a woman who within 5 minutes of meeting me accused me of lying to her over an extremely trivial thing, I literally couldn't believe what she was saying (accused me of lying about where in the pub I had last seen the manager). Think she was literally insane. After about 2 hours the manager said something slick to me and I couldn't help the look on my face of WTF, about 30 sec later told him it would be my last shift but I could stay for the rest of the night since they were short-handed, he said they didn't need me so I left. It doesn't sound that bad written out but I've never quit a job that fast, hard to describe how shitty the atmosphere was.

I've worked all kinds of shit jobs but nothing comes close to how soul crushing a call center job is. You can't zone out, people are angry and don't speak English at you all day. You're every second and word is tracked by advanced software that slows down your computer to an infuriating level, your coworkers are loud, stupid and claim to hate their job but have been there years and have no escape plan. The bosses make the same amount of money as you but the only people who last long enough in those places to get promoted are assholes who think they run the place. I lasted 9 months while trying to find a better job after I graduated. U would have killed myself if I didn't.

Sold weed in college it was pretty dope. Made a lot of friends, fucked a lot of average looking chicks, probably would’ve fucked the hot ones of it was coke. Did fuck one super fine dime right before I graduated that was unexpected and fucking awesome.

I've had em all, bad pay, horrible physical labor and working conditions etc.

I nominate two to the list. One was a sales job that turned out to be straight cold calling, did pretty well but after 6 months of 12 hour days with constant rejection I just gave up. My day was literally 90 minute drive in Chicago traffic, 12 hours of absolute hell, 90 minute commute back, drink as many beers as I could before I fell asleep. + Phone calls at night because it was logistics.

2nd was a .gov job, should have been fairly easy but I had the most nigger woman boss in the world. Literally always on my ass, all the time and took everything incredibly personally. I was doing purchasing and there was no information on how to do my job / just a giant clusterfuck. Last 2 months weren't bad though, everyone was on vacation so I showed up late, left early and basically did fuck all for two months. I completely screwed her over in the end and giving the two weeks notice felt so amazing.

>picking strawberries in a field
did this when I was like 14 y-o but only lasted a week. basically they would pay you for how many buckets of strawberries you could fill up in a day, I averaged $10-14 per day while the seasoned pickers would do like $30-40. Just boring work under the sun

>assembly line worker at fridge factory
fridge slowly rolls through at your station, spend 30 seconds on it adding a couple of parts/screws, 5-10 seconds downtime. another oven rolls through. Rince and repeat for 8 hours. Just a mindlessly boring repeatitive job in a factory with zero windows or sunlight that a monkey could/should do

>doing surveys at a call center
you basically sit at your desk and cold-call random people to do surveys on boring topics. Most people just hang up on you and the few people that actually agree to do the surveys are old retired boomers that are simply happy to talk to a human being. You are evaluated on how many surveys you are able to complete in a day. Since then, whenever I get call to do a survey I do it because I know how much the job sucks

>garbage man
Did this for about 10 months until I hurt my back and had to quit. If you're a city employee it's not too bad since you'll likely be in a union, have a decent wage and overall you will work at a chill laid-back pace, but personally I worked with a private company that's paid by the city for the amount of tons of garbage that gets picked up, which means we have to operate as fast as possible.
That basically means jogging behind the garbage truck for most of the day while tossing,/throwing shit like a madman. I remember out of the 10 people that got hired with me, only 2 of us made it past a week because you need to be in great physical condition rightaway otherwise it simply won't work. As for the veteran garbage men that had been there for years, all of them had fucked up shoulders/back from the countless tons of shit they pick up and toss in the truck.

Easily my job I had as a service advisor for a Chevy dealership. Customers at Chevy/Cadillac are some of the worst and entitled pieces of shit ever. Not to mention my management. I got bitched at by my service director in front of a customer once for not getting his email so that he could get a survey. I worked 6:45 am-7:00 pm every day. I had 0 control over when my customers cars would finish and the techs were lazy as shit. The only way you could be a “good” advisor was if you were in the good ole boys club with management and they could force techs to take your work and finish it as fast as possible. I was actually suicidal working there, and I’ve never been that way. I took a job soon after that at a Toyota dealership and it was a complete 180 night and day difference. Management didn’t suck ass, customers were way better, similar schedule but at the very least I was friends with everyone and made good money. I’ve been laid off about 4 months now due to covid, but I’m looking forward to going back. Working at Chevy opened my eyes. Simply for my experience there I’ll never buy another Chevy product

a lot of the comfy-ness is just because contractors work under a different set of laws than employees.

for example it's generally illegal for a client to dictate my work schedule or tell me how many hours I need to be present to do a job. If they do either of those things I can claim to be their employee and they have to provide half my FICA and all of my workman's comp as well as a gov salary on federal jobs.

there's a lot of similar regulations that are required to keep contractors separate from their clients and the government is a stickler on laws. They can't tell me how to dress, what time to show up for work, what I should look like, who I can hire, etc. They can provide limits within a range, but legally they can't dictate much about how and when I do my job.

so there's a significant distance kept between the worker and the client. Firing or overseeing a contractor is also a whole legal process that is much more difficult than with an employee. Even a federal employee in the union is easier to fire than me, and they're about impossible to get rid of.

so the nature of the role makes the job much more chill just because of legal requirements. Clients have to keep significant distance from the operations of contractors. There are of course trade-offs. You have to be good at what you do to keep getting contracts, but the bar is amazingly low. Also work is only guaranteed for the term of the contract so job security isn't really a thing unless you're employed by a contractor that regularly gets jobs. But then you're back to being an employee and suffering all the crap that goes with that minus the sweet sweet federal pay and benefits.
