What is the absolute worst job you ever had?

The worst job I had some 40 years ago as a youth was cleaning pipes a month in the summer on the yearly cleaning stop at Shell, dirty as fck and 12 hour shifts.

The worst job I'd ever had wasn't even got to do with the work, I loved getting up and cleaning businesses, getting half of what I was owed and doing overtime. I could come back and study...

Be a good boss, my boss was great, but whoever he had to answer to were psychopaths.

What age were you at that time ?

Old enough to work at Shell. Let`s keep it at that.

I haven't had much bad jobs, I find 'fun' in most of what I do, whether it be a factory job, a gas station or a PPC position.

I had some horrible bosses, like, next level insanity...

Content Moderator in a outsourcing company, and our client was Meta. It was quite-good in the beginning (2 years) as I had to work from home and the activity was quite-good (not that bad content), but after 2 years, my activity got changed, and we weren't working from home anymore, and I had to moderate the shit of a shit of content (gore/suicide/murders/deaths/sever injuries/terrorism/child P***, sexual abuse ... ). and then I quit to save what left from my broken psycho well-being.

I still believe that Content Moderator is one of the worst jobs in this world, especially moderating content that may lead to psycho problems like OCD and PTSD and may even cause Depression and lead to suicide.

Man I've reported stuff like that I found through spotting sketchy comments on FB posts... I think you're the only content moderator there that cares about people/scumbags

yeah your current role seems like it'd put most people in a padded room

tell the boys the stories about sales picking up and sitting in the office by yourself with a load of baggies

Yeah but this isn't for me so it don't matter what I go through. The end goal is all that matters.

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.
