Always found that it is the fuckers above that make it bad. The work itself is never the problem Couple of paper runs and eight weeks in Burger King as a sixteen y.o. Burger King supplied me with £1.66 an hour. Happy days. The two worst jobs that people I have known have had were: A guy who claimed he wanked turkeys collecting semen samples. He seemed to enjoy it and if you had met the guy you probably could have guessed that this was his job Another who scraped mould from 20kg blocks of cheese in a freezing cold room. Soul destroying stuff Do you think that if he did a good enough job then the turkeys gave him a gobble in return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 My job got outsourced in December and I was slapped back onto dealing with claims last month. 4 applications, 4 Rejections. I think I may need to go elsewhere if this keeps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest kick in the baws was finally getting a new job, only for it to be pulled a week before my start date. Glad it happened though as I've ended up with a far better setup. Must admit that it seemed like seemingly endless doom and gloom at the time, but perseverance eventually gets something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One shift consisted of sticking "Made in England" stickers on boxes of Duchy Original biscuits which had just came out of the oven. My long term other half did this as her school holidays summer job (getting shouted at for putting some on squint by one or two degrees). Convinced her that sticking in at school / going to uni was a good idea, hence without the Walkers stickers we would probably have never crossed paths.

Free shortbread at tea breaks, putting thousands of Scotty dogs into trays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The Walkers workforce could be divided into two distinct demographics. 1. Foxy students 2. Fat alky munters. I would like to say I did my best to straddle the fence and have an attempt on both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbornbairn Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I actually enjoy my job nowadays. Today I had to visit a factory and deal with some grumbling workers. Worker 1 - If the box of nails gets bashed or dropped the nails don't fit in the tools. Me - Don't bash or drop the box then. Worker 2 - If I hold the tool this way it's fine, but if I hold it that way it's awkward Me - Don't hold it that way. Worker 3 - I like this tool not that one Me - The factory bought that one not this one Worker 4 - I get scratches on my hand using that tool Me - Wear the gloves you've been issued Worker 4 - But then I can't get my pencil out of my pocket. Me - You've got ears Any more questions? No? See ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 The worst job I had was manufacturing septic tanks at Balmoral Group about 18 years ago. I remember going into the dick of a mangers office after a week and him asking how I was getting on, I replied "I think I could be doing better." He then said, " I agree, your only doing 8 tanks a shift, you could do 10." I replied "I meant, I think I could be doing better than working here." And walked out.
