Worst job you've had?

What's the worst job you've had?

Tell us about it?

Do you still work there?

It involved a shovel, a wheelbarrow, and a dairy barn.

You'll figure it out.

No. I lasted about a month (which was three weeks longer than the guy I replaced, according to the farmer).

I'm debating what makes a job worse, the kind of work or workplace conditions/atmosphere. I'll mention both.

The worst kind of work I've done is waitressing. I've done it twice and both times as filler jobs until a better opportunity came along. I wasn't at either job for more than a few months. I hate people so customer service jobs are definitely not for me. It didn't help that I wasn't good at it.

The top contender for worst job based on work conditions is ironically a job I had on a horse farm. Ironic because I love horses and farm work. The people I worked for were friendly enough but underneath I don't think they liked me very much. Nothing I did was good enough or I was just doing it wrong all together. The pay was a joke and I didn't get regular days off. I had worked there for two months when I got run over by a horse and injured my lower back. I probably should have gone to the doctor but the owner figured it was better if I kept moving to keep it limber. I got a two hour lunch. I didn't stand up for myself, sucked it up and did my job.
After Christmas they took their show horses to Scottsdale, AZ and I was left alone to take care of the farm. One of the owners would help me feeding pastures horses in the morning. After two and a half months without a day off I was burned out and finally quit when they came back from Arizona at the end of February. I worked there for 10 months.
