One of the worst jobs I ever had was when I worked for an assembly line. The . warehouse was so filthy. I was moving boxes and accidentally hit my lips with it. My lips turned dark down and then started to peel after a few weeks.

Hmm...I worked for an ice cream/fast food place and I made onion rings and fish fries FOR HOURS for $5.15 an hour. I also smelled like sour milk every time I left that place and the owner charged for food and the t-shirts we had to wear. He sucked.

My worst job was when I was given a director position, but was constantly undermined by leadership. I finally quit when they wouldn’t let someone move to my team bc she was pregnant and “wasn’t able to make decisions with the right context.”

Ew, that reminds me of my worst jobs. I got promoted and then unofficially demoted because of my pregnancy. It was awful.

I was a server at a country club... the members expected me to memorize their names and drink orders within a week of meeting them!

I was a manager at my university's dining hall. After that I vowed never to work in food service again.

I used to deliver pizzas in high school. This sounds great and all but this was before GPS and reading maps in the dark wasn't a strength for me :)

I did the same! I’d pretty much have to memorize where I was going on a map before I’d leave. But it was at least a very small city.
