What is the absolute worst job you ever had?

Working online is the worst job I did.

There must be something better than this?

Nah it's not for me, ive never been in a position to find working for myself or online to be the worst thing I ever done.

So I suggested a job most or rather anyone can do off line with no qualifications at all.

Because no matter what, the world will always need turkey wankers.

The worst job is most likely the very first community I did work for. I mentioned in another thread recently that I had other arrangements similar to the one I had with the other forum. I normally don't like giving all the details on this one, but the first arrangement was for another community in a different industry. It wasn't anything big or anything anyone here would know about, just a fairly general community that was owned by this very small company. It started off the same way as well: I was an active participant of the community, I got noticed by the company, and then was offered a job word-of-mouth at the start.

I stayed with that one for a while, gradually doing more work. The guy who owned the company was fine at first and liked that I was able to do so much. I started implementing improvements similar to the ones everyone saw me make both here and on the other forum (basically, I already had experience doing this).

But over time, the owner of the company started getting paranoid because I didn't talk about myself much. He must've realised at that point that I was basically running the whole operation, but he knew nothing about me: not my real name, not my age, not even where I really lived. Rather than talk to me like a normal person, he jumped straight to accusations about who sent me and if I'm after his life or something. I told him I just wanted to do the work, but he didn't believe me.

I woke up one day and the guy locked me out of my account, but he did something else. You see, he couldn't just remove me from the community without raising questions, so he tried puppeting my account around and pretending to be me. It was a tight-knit community, so nobody was buying it and people reached out to me. I just told them it was funny and he's only making himself look bad.

I won't go into too much detail about what I did after, but that guy went wild for a long time. Threatened legal action, threatened me directly, and spent loads of his time and money for years trying to go after me until he had nothing left. He sunk his company and his bank account over nothing

I'll post the full story of this one day. I was actually going to post about it back in January on the other forum as I thought some members would find it interesting, but I had concerns about doing so.

Now we need you to disclose the whole story Z you made it interesting now we we must see the whole backstory how things unfolded

Building a community is a very skillful job especially in the age of AI

There is no worst jobs, but just saying some of the hard working jobs I did during school and college holidays.

1. House Painting jobs - working as assistants
2. Selling snacks on weekly market - to help our relative business .

After college,
I continued part time job as

3. Food delivery boy , restaurant kitchen works, vessels cleaning, a to z, - to help my brother business & our own restaurant. .

These are just some of My Top 3 hardly worked jobs .

P.S : I've grown from lower middle class family.

My father is a real hard worker .. All his hard work stories got inspired me to do any part time jobs since childhood..

Well, those jobs you did during school is not hard jobs, so I disagree with you on that there is no hard work. There is a lot of really hard manual jobs out there, you just never had one.

Freelancing lol

Freelancing lol

very true haha especially with clients like "but I'm on budget"

What's wrong budget clients?

Maybe your marketing is wrong hence you getting the wrong type of client.

I agree, there are many hardworking jobs like construction, welding, weight lifting, etc. .

But I felt these as hard working jobs from my own experience.
Any manual jobs at young ages which is done over longtime without rest or felt tired of doing it are just hard working jobs.

 

[Dopious]

Anything which is done over longtime without rest or felt tired of doing it are just hard working jobs.

Well, there are hard work and there are really rough work, comparing 12 hours in the office or coffee shop to a really dirty heavy job is just an insult to the guys that have really rough work.

Maybe there's too msny thieves out there in the world. They'd want you to do service for free but will blow everything on luxury consumer goods. But to do that they save money first by stealing from everyone around. It is what it is. Probably best to not do b2b in the first place lol.

Fuck I’ve had some bad ones before I found internet marketing, two of my worst where probably “kitchen porter” basically a slave washing dishes for power hungry coked up chefs (I was like 17).. almost got hit on the head one night by a desert one of the heads chefs threw at the wall in anger at another chef and labouring to brick layers on construction sights… never again

I've only worked for myself since 1991.

Before that, I did a few months of engineering, till the guy I was working for decided he needed me as a welder, so I did a welding course.
He wanted putlogs making for scaffolding, sounded like a great idea. He had rented a second unit in the mill, had all the equipment in there, such as presses, drilling machines, bandsaw and the welding kit.

I thought 2 of the other guys were going to be in there with me, so got a shock when he kindly explained to me this was my domain and I'd be working there on my own.
Me being me, fucked up as before we started he said, let's see how quickly you can produce 1 pice from start to finish.

The process was flat iron cut on a bandsaw to a specific size, this piece was then placed in the 50 ton press to shape it to fit the scaffold bar.
The other bandsaw cut the scaffold bar to size. I then welded the scaffold tube to the flat metal plate, which was bent to shape.

I then had to put this on the vertical drill and drill a hole. Move it to the next pillar and tap the hole.

This was then the job done.

He timed me from start to finish, the competitive me did it as fast as I could. After finishing he said, " that took XX minutes, you should be able to manage XXX an hour, so over 8 hours that should be XXXX a day".

I looked at him and said, you're forgetting piss breaks and my lunch break.
So, this was my first ever experience of Time & Motion.

Down side was after 3 months of doing this all on my own, I discovered he had badly fucked up.
I was drilling and tapping using metric sized drill bits etc, the UK building industry still works in Imperial, so these were useless.
