Worst place you've ever worked?

Actually I have liked most of the jobs I have had. I had a job that I worked at for nearly 8 years though that I loved for the first 6 years I worked there. I loved the company, I loved my bosses. I liked that I knew a lot about the company. Then they hired this woman and made her my boss. She was aweful. The kind of boss who would try really hard to find something wrong with you. She would literally go through my desk when I wasn't there to find something to yell at me about. She complained because I had a couple of food items in my desk drawer, as most people do. It is not like it was messy or dirty or anything they were in packages. But she would do stuff like this all the time. I even think she pulled garbage out of my garbage can so that she could yell at me about it. Yes that sounds crazy but there had been no garbage on the floor when I left that day. Or she would do things to set me up, but then she would buy me gifts and stuff like that it was really wierd I really think she was a bit psycho. She made my last couple of years at that company a living H*ll. She also caused a lot of my fellow employees to be fired or to quit. I finally could not take it any longer and I quit.

I have the same or similar experience.the first job I have done was to design some program for a electric company,i have to work from 8:00am to 8:00pm and you only have a time to rest least 30minutes.what's worse,you could only get a low salary. now, i come into a new company,i want to learn more experience and knowledge about HR,because i am a rookie.Here,nearly everything you have to report to the boss,in fact,lots of things should not be care about,in other words,he should let others do theses things for him. I want to communicate with others about each other's experience.thank you !

hi maezee oh I remember that and I was only 21 and now am a senior citizen. I worked for two months in a place in San Franciso called the Nancy Ann storybook doll company. My job was to glue wigs on the heads of these various small dollars and the catch was that there must be no glue drops on the hair. sounds easy but the things they gave to use to put the glue on were gadgets similar to the sticks in ice cream on a stick. and hard to put glue on a round head with a flat blade like that, we were paid so much for all the dolls that the inspector passed and nothing for the ones he did not pass. your hands after a few hours grew numb from all that stuff. and few of us made much as the inspector was really over zealous in what he accepted. I lasted two whole months then got a job for more money as a nurse's aide which I did have experience in.but I have never forgotten the Nancy Ann Storybook Doll Company. yuck and sob sob sob.

I worked at Subway for a whole four hours, and those were some of the worst hours of my life. One of my coworkers kept calling me "Joanie" instead of "Amanda", for one thing. For another thing, when my good friend came by to grab something to eat and she asked to see me, this same coworker told me that no 'Amanda' worked there. I was so mad. Don't even get me started on what I thought about the manager there. In short, whenever I was able to sit down to eat lunch, I took a few bites of my sandwich, looked around at the dining area in disgust, then got up and went to the restroom, took off my uniform shirt (I had another shirt underneath), took of my visor and my apron, then went back out and threw all of my uniform items onto the counter beside the cash register before getting my happy rear end out of there.

I left a perfectly good, management job to move into a different country which did not take into account all my previous experiences. So, the jobs that I did get were pretty bad. The worst I would say was on a ship yard. From a desk and tie job to a coverall-strenuous job. It was an agency. They did not pay us overtime rates if we worked after the 8 hours, and during weekends. Thankfully, I was just there for 3 months!

I would have to say it was probably Subway. I mean I loved building sandwiches and serving the customers. The managers and the main boss were just really not nice people. They were very condescending to the employees and guilt tripped them and used fear as a way of making them do things. Plus when you work hard there it seems your work just gets more, as the slackers think they can leave everything for you while they take 1 hour long smoke breaks. The management was very corrupt there, they often played favorites and would leave employees working alone at night without a panic button, when it was against code to do so. The didn't give you raises no matter how hard you worked, and prepping all of the food sucked. Plus we were expected to clean up hazardous waste when in the hiring tutorial papers it never said anywhere about janitorial work and cleaning up body waste. One time an fellow co-worker cut himself on the vegetable slicer really badly, and he couldn't stop the bleeding. There was no first aid kit in the whole store so he couldn't even perform first aid on himself properly. When he called the main manager to tell her he needed to go to the hospital because he was losing so much blood he was starting to feel dizzy she snapped at him that it was Christmas Eve and there was nothing she could do as she was spending time with her family, when in the managers handbook it said under emergencies they would have to take responsibility of the store. Finally the employee had to call an ambulance, and left the store unattended. Afterwards he was fired. This is just one example of how unjust of a place it was to work. Maybe this was just the branch in my town that was this messed up.

Well I do believe that there are really worst times in our career. I can relate an incident in every job I landed on. My first job being an accounting assistant, I literally has no experience whatsoever but since the company I worked with was a startup company I was supposed to set up books and everything from the start. That was supposed to be easy for an experienced one but for me it was really hard. I was given an opportunity to transfer work after a couple year with them to another company which is supposed to be stable and organized already but then there was orgnizational trouble since the people there seems to have many grudges against the management so I decided to leave when the first time they offered early retirement because for me the environment is just not that solid at all. After receiving my separation pay and everything on it, I started looking for another job and found one, it was a distributorship company and the pay was not that much though. I stayed there less than a year because the working hours were really hard we have to work almost over eight hours and was not even paid for the extra hours they require us. I again landed on a foundation and this is were i stayed the longest. After having all those experience with various jobs I realized that those bad experiences from the companies are just existing in every company I stay. I decided to accept that there is really no perfect company that I can stay with and since I am not getting any younger I stick it out to stay here and for nine years I stayed here. I am not saying I am happy and contented here but I learned that you cannot escape all those problems you have encountered before, you just accept the situation and live around it and you will be fine at the end of the day.

My worst job was making box lids to go on top of poultry boxes. It was very easy, but a lot of work. I had to stand on my feet for eight hours, minus my lunch break. When I got home, I was very exhausted and burnt out. We had the weekends off, but that still did not help because I slept through the day time. All I wanted to do was rest. My body was so tired and my hands were sore too. My supervisor was mean and nasty. He had an attitude problem. That is what made my job hard. I had no problems with the workers.. The men just flirted a lot.. This is the worst job that I have ever had! It left me with back problems too from all of that standing. My legs were so tired when I got off from work. I don't want to ever work to a job like this ever again!

Hi maezee, The worst place I've ever worked has to be McDonalds but I kept going back because it was guaranteed 40 or more hours a week and they always gave me the shift I wanted which was opening, I wanted it because I got out early. It was my first job and I'm grateful for it considering I needed the job experience to come from somewhere but I hated dealing with people all day, especially rude people. I did make some great friends there though, like my best friend who lives with me now but it had it's good times and bad times like any job. I hated going home smelling like food every single day though, I always had to take a shower after work. I didn't like working at Taco Bell either, I took the job when I couldn't find anything else but they had three different people try and train me and they all did things differently so it was really hard to catch on. Than they didn't pay me what they said they would and they kept changing my hours over and over again, it was aggravating so needless to say I only lasted there about two weeks because I got fed up. Right now because I don't have a job because of this lovely economy I would go back to McDonalds in a minute though, or I'd give Taco Bell another try, I could use anything right now but even those places aren't hiring which sucks big time. I can't wait to go to college one day, I feel so behind since I'm 24 and most of my friends have graduated and have a nice job but school is so expensive and right now I have to worry about my debt and bills, you do what you have to do. At least there's no age limit to attending college and bettering yourself! It seems as if the only way to get a job you love is to attend college because your choosing what path you'd like to take in life, it's your choice whether you start and finish it or not.

The worst plae I've worked was the only job I've ever had- it was at a frozen yogurt place. I don't want to say exactly where, but it is a chain store, and I'm sure working at other locations isn't as bad as it was where I worked. When I was hired, the manager of the store I worked at was just quitting, so the regional manager (this creepy mid-aged guy) tried to manage the store as well in addition to his normal duties. It was AWFUL. We were always out of some supplies, the hours were totally unorganized and my fellow employees and I were always "fighting" over hours. The pay was ok but I dreaded going to work, so I quit 4 months after I was hired, because it just wasn't worth it. :P

Well my worst job when i joined matiri solution(international bpo) i was hired for technical,but they send me in a different process.i compensated that,and went through the training.Although the money was'nt bad,when they hired me,but after completion of my training they were giving me half the money,from what they actually hired for and they would be providing that money through cheque after a month. I was so agitated and frustrated that i left the job

Ugh, My worst job is being the contract worker for building 4 house near my city. It was a realllly hard work -.-! and plus because I'm just a newbie, my job is the most basic one. I must lift the material, pick up some nails and even pick a cup of coffe. The payment was so small, makes me more depressing. Sure in next time, if there is offer to work like that, I simply choose myLot ^___^

The worst job I ever had was working at a motel as a housekeeper. I will never ever do that again unless I am extremely desperate.I must say that some of the rooms I had to clean were so trashed that it would take me up to or over an hour to clean them. My boss got mad when we were in there for only 45 minutes. She wanted us to try to be done in 25 minutes to a half an hour. Yeah right, how about you tell your customers to stop throwing dirt everywhere and destroying the property.

The worst place that i work i my entire life, not because of the company, it was because of the customers that i receive calls from...just to do customer support and after that technical support for a cable company who offers phone, internet and cable, you cant imagine receive a call from someone that is mad as hell because he cant watch t.v....the best part of all of this, the reason of the problem after tyou hear someone screaming at you for 3 minutes, his cable receiver was off and that was the reason why his t.v wasnt working.... hate that job.
