School cook at Solar Campus 4 1/2 years ago...had to put up with the kids spitting at you and calling you all sorts of names and as it's a school all I could do was report them to the head, I was forced to leave after my ex said if I didn't he was gonna wait outside for this one joyful lad who was making my life a misery!!!

My worst job? I once had a personal assistant who made the worst coffee ever. I now have one who makes great coffee so all is good.

Had a few poo jobs. I think the worst one was weighing and tinning air gun pellets at some dodgy little 'Unit' in Moreton.
No H + S laws, or, indeed any other Employment Laws were recognised!
But hey, i was 15 and felt 'rich' earning my £1.30p per hour, over a 48hour week.
Never did get the full wages due, to me.

Then there was the job, as a school leaver,making 'sugar dummies'.
I passed the 'interview' and was invited to attend a 'training day' on the Saturday,to start work on Monday.
I had told the interviewer that i could not start work 'til the Tuesday as I had GCSE exams Monday.
Did my 'training' unpaid and was then sacked for not being available for Monday. Lol.

First two jobs after uni were pretty shite:

Shifts at a potato packing plant - I had to catch the bags of spuds that came off the end of the line and pack 10 to a sack when the sack was full tape it up but the bags would just keep coming! I only found out that I'd got it 2 mins before the shift started and there was nowhere to buy my dinner there and the fat b*stard who gave me a lift wouldn't share his dinner with me - I lasted two days!

Burger King wasn't great either - I wasn't allowed to meet the customers so just had to load the frozen burgers onto the conveyor belt to cook them. I got told to chuck some junkies out of the toilets too which was quite terrifying!

Worked for MBNA in Chester. I managed to credit random people's accounts with thousands of pounds. Overall, the place is a nightmare to work, unless you have the correct back stabbing mindset.

Worked for Park Online in Birkenhead (where the Cheshire line building is), selling tights to old customers - when I say old, we used to cold call 80+ year old women who subscribed to receive tights in the 1950's. Most were deceased, some were senile and I got threatened by spouses or their children asking what the hell I was trying to do. The extents these parasites go to to try and generate a few extra quid. I lasted three days there, it was awful.

I feel sorry for people who have no option to do these types of jobs. frown

I got offered a job at sports direct once, walked into the office on what was supposed to be my first day, and immediately decided that it wasn't for me and quit without even being given my uniform, dodged a bullet by the sounds of it.

Similarly I went for an interview for a "Business Manager's" role that I got an interview suspiciously easily and quickly realised it was actually selling Kirkby cleaners door to door so I went for a cigarette between the two halves of the interview and never went back.
