Worst job you ever had?

[Crystallas]

Used to grow and sell bananas, but when someone tried to fraudulently rezone the plantation area, I had to get my documents in order. Well, I was stuck going to the city to get identification documents after they confiscated my boat. Apparently I looked like a bum, so I went to get a suit to look good for the bishop. After finally finding a tailor, they took most of my money and suggested I work as a bouncer. Well, I threw out the club manager and made friends with Taylor Swift. I had a few bucks, wound up seeing the bishop, but they couldn't help. That's when I finally saw the public minister, and they had me go to the Army to prove my existence. After a short stint of boot camp, I went back to the public minister and forced my way to the front. I guess being aggressive at a public place lands you in jail, so there I went to prison and came across a forger that started some trouble with me prior. I got out of prison, then El Presidente sided with me, I got my plantation, and before you knew it, I learned to read and write.

During college years I had a job where I worked parting out automobile transmissions. At first I was just a grunt unloading transmissions from an open air semi trailer and deliver to guys doing piece work to tear them apart. After they part them out I hauled the bins of various parts away and the aluminum casing to the guys running a smelter and pouring aluminum ingots. 8-10 hour days, covered with grease/transmission fluid and extreme heat. Eventually I would run a standby smelter for half a shift to get more production. I worked this job over summer and breaks from school, so in the heat of the summer and the coldest days of the winter (Northern Illinois). I remember shedding layers in the winter and running that smelter with a sleeveless t-shirt due to how hot the work area was (open air setup, not indoors).

I appreciate those years, because it was the driving force to not have a job like that again, unless I fall on hard times.

I was at my last job for almost 8 years in the field of financial analysis / FP&A.

The last 3 years were hell.

The old PE Group sold to a new PE Group.

It was then, maybe coincidentally, that it all went to shit. Revolving door at the CFO position. No integrated systems across half the company. They’d buy a company, bolt it on, but then never integrate it into SAP.

Then the new execs would hire either their buddy from a previous job or some cast off that had a Fortune 500 company on their resume. The problem is that those people were used to multi-billion dollar orgs where all the info is right at their fingertips and layers of personnel redundancy to get things done. They weren’t used to a lean and mean PE run company. They needed to be spoon fed everything.

It was a disaster. They’d spend money on software, make a million dollar pie chart on a dashboard and proclaim victory. Crap like that.

Then nobody was managing the store and margins started going to shit and then everybody turned into a d-bag.

It also didn’t help that my boss would walk straight into her office, shut the door, communicate via email only (she did this to everybody), exit to go to the bathroom and get lunch. She also loved to tell people how she “stayed late” until 6pm every night even though she’d get there at 9am.

In the summers, I used to help fix roofs and clean gutters with my dad. Worst job I've ever had.

Anything roofing related is hideous.

from 18-20 I worked for a roofing supply co- delivering to rooftops off a flatbed with a conveyor just like the one below. Had to hand unload every bundle, and during the summer it was from before sunrise to after sunset.
when you got to the front of the truck, bottom of the pallet, it really beat up your back.
Many times I did 1000 bundle days.

pretty fucked up story proving what comes around goes around does in fact happen from time to time.
The owner was flippant about safety.
The trucks were death traps, safety gear non-existent.
You call up in the winter and say it is too icy to be doing this, he would respond "it has to get done- do it or I will find someone who will".
Frequently we were sent out overweight, and the only maintenance he wanted to do on the vehicles was add chrome.
The injuries from failing equipment were frequent and nasty. I myself got off lucky with a busted couple bones in my hand and 3 pins.

I ran in to a fellow I knew from the company many years after I had moved on.
He told me Karma got the owner.
He was having a house built in Afton, was throwing a christmas party and he decided to take some guests to show off his new mansion.
For whatever reason, despite having a few drinks in his system and it being late december in wisconsin, he decided it would be safe to jump up on the roof that was papered over but not yet shingled.
He stepped on the hole for a skylight, punched through the paper, and crushed his head in the fall.- dead as a doornail.

Moral of that story is, safety is kind of a big deal.

Big deal. Try unloading 40 foot UPS trucks filled with a thousand 50 lb boxes of screws onto a conveyor belt in 90% temperatures at 3am in the morning then getting 3 hours of sleep only to get up and go to a world class difficulty college all day.....then do it day after day.

You all be pussies

What's your problem guy? Why is everything a competition to you? Do you feel inadequate?

 

[Diehardfan]

When my daughter was born in 1980, we needed extra mony. I already had a 50 hour/week job. I took a part time job delivering lost luggage by the airlines from 9pm till 3am. I had to deliver in the middle of the night to the worst areas on the south and west side. I only received a $1 tip in all that time

The airline fucking misplaced these people's belongings.....they also surely got jacked around in the airport trying to find it. While certainly not your fault.....you were the go between, a representative of the morons at the airlines that jerked these people around. Tip? You're lucky you escaped unscathed.

I normally dont respond to your posts, because you are an act.
However, in this case I shall, since in your effort to measure dick size is misguided and falls short.

For starters, a 1' by 1' 50lb box of nails is cake compared to a 3' by 1' 75lb bundle of shingles which will frequently fold and spill out if the packaging is compromised.
We tossed the nail boxes around like toys. That was break time for us, you pussy.

Second, you are full of shit. Ups is Teamsters, and that type of labor was not allowed by contract. The union rep sure as **** wouldnt have let you pull that shit.

Third, not company would be stupid enough to ship such a low profit- high labor item loosely stacked in a cargo container, ensuring at a minimum of 4 manual moves- from assembly to pallet, off of pallet to truck floor, off of truck floor to pallet, and from there to shelf.

Beyond that, these fictional loose truck loads would shift and punch through the walls in such a formation.


Jesus. You are absolutely awful at trolling.

It is neat however that the worst, most impressive job you can think of pales in comparison to the reality of many on this board.

Get out of your basement. Educate yourself.

90% temperatures, eh?

this guy is such a buffoon, not to be confused with a maroon, who is someone who actually graduated from the U of C (from which the bears got their logo and the slogan 'monsters of the midway' for history fans)

I lived it baby.

Union and company rules may have changed but it wasnt that way in the mid 70s. I spent many nights bending over thousands of times in a 40 foot trailer picking up 50 lb boxes of nails and screws. 40' trailers in the 70s had two levels. The top level was supported by hinged floor boards that covered a lower level. In the middle was a manual conveyer built for carrying these types of packages. None of this stuff was palletized back then.

Those boxes were then rolled out to a master sorting conveyor then sorted to a carousel conveyer with compartments

Just because YOU DIDNT EXPEREINCE SOMETHING DOESNT MEAN IT DID EXIST
