best job i ever had was working custodial at my local resort

worst job i ever had was working the same job after a new hospitality company took over the food and beverage department (custodial was under f+b) i didnt mind cleaning at all i actually enjow it but that wasnt the problem. the problems were with the shitty ass company called Dana Hospitality. they failed to provide me and my co workers with paystubs for 3 months when we knew we were not getting payed what they owed us. the managers adn people working closely with our location failed to fix countless issues. got treated like shit by my one supervisor and they short staffed us like crazy so all the staff were miserable.

long story short never work for Dana Hospilality they will fuck you over countless times. I didn't go into much detail because im over it at this point but yeah. and if this company is ever going to take over a f+b department you work in i would advise quitting and telling the who evers decision it was to hire the company to look at their reviews lol.

Worked as a general laborer for a property maintenance company. I basically just did all the dirty work and heavy lifting for the carpenters and plumbers.

The job wrecked my body physically. It was also filled with a bunch of boomer assholes. The gossip between grown adults there was ridiculous. 50+ year old men would throw temper tantrums on a daily basis. Fuel reimbursement was 44 cents per mile and not a penny more. Smokers got an insane amount of additional breaks per day. I was expected to keep working during this time so I eventually just started smoking as well. Oh and mandatory overtime and a week long on call schedule as well.

currently in assembly line work

my back neck and wrists are sore always

if a job stays with you when you leave, or you dread going back the next day for your shift, take it as a red flag and work harder to find something better

ill be quitting in a few weeks after putting in a bunch of overtime

Painting houses. Didn't paint many more houses before I realized the guy I worked for was putting a lot of the $$$ up his nose. Also ended up getting a thing about being sued so it was a pretty easy decision to dip out early. I think I lost $100. toal on living out there for 2 weeks. Not too bad.

It's kinda weird to think that ski industry work has taken up 19 seasons of my life. Really pretty stuck on doing anything else, but I'm obsessed with it so fuck it.

Door to door steak salesman. I worked with a guy who had just gotten out of jail and was missing his front tooth. We left the office with a bunch of frozen steaks and drove from South twin cities MN all the way to rural Iowa because this asshat claimed the steaks sold better there. He would use the missing tooth space to hold a chillum and smoke pot while driving.

When I lived in Israel I worked at a kibbutz(communal farm) one summer as a dishwasher. 100 shekels a month plus room and board, so the equivalent of rent, food and 30 dollars a month. 8 hours a day of unloading a rotary dishwasher like this one in a hot steamy room that smelled godawful. Also, you had to clean the thing out twice a day because of Jewish kashrut laws. This involves opening up the 4 ft by 6 ft by 6 ft rinse compartment, climbing into it where the metal was almost too hot to touch but not quite and scrubbing it out by hand. The worst was days they had fish since I had to wash the trays from that by hand after they went through the machine. Fish grease sticks to everything, and the dishwasher doesn't help so you really have to muscle it off with steel wool while simultaneously unloading the dishwasher. After a bit I started to not mind it so much since I'd just wear my big headphones and jam out to immortal technique and black keys while just killing it at my job. I probably did the work equivalent of what 3 people usually did since I have long arms and move fast. Only thing I hated was the smell but you get used to that. Now anytime I think about how I dont like my job, I think back to that summer and realize I have it good now as a banker.

TLDR: a rough smelly steamy dishwashing job, but I appreciate how it makes me value my current job. I think everyone should start off with some shit job to make them value a better job when they get it.

Best job I’ve ever had: pouring concrete

Worst job I’ve ever had: pouring concrete

Washing dishes by far the worst job, worked for a breakfast/lunch place too so had to be there at like 6am too, but i was like 17 so I just needed a job that wasn't taco johns.

I was just burying new fiber lines today for a boomer community and now that you say it they do gossip a lot lol I figure it’s because they didn’t grow up around the Internet, they prefer face to face contact and when that’s the case gossip just kinda happens

Chain gang

I find the boomers so funny. Always bitching about millennials and eating ham sandwiches for lunch.

My current job is so fucking unbelievable.

I'll try to sum it up by first telling you about the folks I work with:

First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty hot, but damn is she completely useless. The girl is constantly fixing her hair or putting on makeup. She is extremely self-centered and has never once considered the needs or wants of anyone but herself. She is as dumb as a box of rocks, and I still find it surprising that she has enough brain power to continue to breathe.

The next chick is completely the opposite. She might even be one of the smartest people on the planet. Her career opportunities are endless, and yet she is here with us. She is a zero on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm not sure she even showers, much less shaves her "womanly" parts. I think she might be a lesbian, because every time we drive by the hardware store, she moans like a cat in heat.

But the jewel of the crowd has got to be the fucking stoner. And this guy is more than just your average pothead. In fact, he is baked before he comes to work, during work, and I'm sure after work. He probably hasn't been sober anytime in the last ten years, and he's only 22. He dresses like a beatnik throwback from the 1960's, and to make things worse, he brings his big fucking dog to work. Every fucking day I have to look at this huge Great Dane walk around half-stoned from the second-hand smoke. Hell, sometimes I even think it's trying to talk with its constant bellowing. Also, both of them are constantly hungry, requiring multiple stops to McDonalds and Burger King, every single fucking day.

Anyway, I drive these fucktards around in my van and we solve mysteries and shit.

Thanks Fred, I needed that laugh.
