Calling companies in the packaging machine business - posing
as a business man from the US who wants to build factories
in Germany - in order to get information about their pricing
strategies .. I got paid 30 euros/hour by a Bavarian company
who wanted to exploit the infos .... its well paid, but I
hate lying and couldn’t sleep at night and vowed to never
lie again at a job

Worst paid job probably teaching undergraduate courses at
uni

My worst job has definitely been with Wikipedia. When I
first signed on as an editor I thought I'd be able to spread
truth to the world, but I soon found myself embroiled in
conflict with the site's far right administrators. I've
since made a lateral move into the position of editor at two
much more reliable outfits: RationalWiki and the Marvel
Cinematic Universe Wikia

I also have what might be called a "side hustle" at A Wiki
of Ice and Fire

My very first job, which I took on my 16th birthday, was as
a Dish Washer at a Berni Inn, a Berni Inn where both my
mother and grandmother had worked. I really liked that job
and worked there for about 3 years, Thrusday nights,
Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings. It earned me about £40
a week which I spent on buying a bass guitar and records
from the nearby "Our Price" shop. I even garnered the
distinction "Employee of the Month" at one stage and, unlike
Dadonck, did not take this as my cue to leave.

My worst job ... I've done some grim jobs but having an
unfashionable belief in the dignity of labour I've not
resented them. I've worked in some offices with
really shitty people, ... my most boring job was
Gallery Guard, just pacing the rooms and endlessly telling
people not to touch the fucking exhibits. As a
contractor I have walked out of places that did my head
in
, if a job's ever been that bad I've walked. I
did one day on one of those scam be-your-own-salesman
things, where you walked round with a big bag full of shite
(your own warehouse) selling it to people in pubs and
launderettes etc. Didn't know people were so keen on washing
lines. You don't see it anymore.

The creepiest job I did was doing a contract for an
"antiques firm", that turned out to be in the Earl's Court
home of two utter fruits and their lithe Brazilian
assistant. I managed to last the week without getting
bummed, and then they didn't want to pay and I called him a
"Dickensian freak". A story which makes Master Wilco laugh
and has adopted the term into his own abusive lexicon.

My very first job, which I took on my 16th birthday, was a
hand job, given to me at the same time by John Donahoe and
Jeff Bezos out of fear of being banned from their 6 cent an
hour structural violence fascist employment of me in
mechanical turk. John Donahoe, the 9 foot tall pile of pig
tumors with an MPR voice would often change shape like the
movie the thing with weird inside out monster ribs opening
apart and eyes peeking through the steemy sloppy innards
filled with digested poor people, but always with a literal
shit eating grin as camouflage for all the normals that were
under his They Live obey mind control, and Jeff Bezos would
pinch my nipples with his mechanical mechwarrior hand,
saying he'd use his botnets to lower my social credit score
if I didn't say self demeaning things while they jerked me
to make more slave clones out of my dna, and stole my meager
possessions from the apartment I was forced to rent from
their company store. Every day John Donahoe would bring over
kittens and force me to eat them, lowering my social credit
score if I didn't say things like, "mm, that's a delicious
kitten master, may I please have another". Jeff Bezos would
measure my testicle diameter and rate it out of 5 stars with
draconian punishment and secret police and algorithms
enforcing it. They would take turns going diarrhea on my
face, and I would have to say "thanks masters, that tastes
even better than it smells" and if I didn't use
enough italics they'd do things like preventing me from
sleeping. If I sneezed or anything, they'd punish me. They'd
make up lies about me and use their power to have all local
newspapers publish it. To this day, I hate them both.
They're guilty of crimes against humanity. Their wives and
pets should divorce them, they should be forced to live in
the bottom of a porta potty. They are what is at the bottom
of a porta potty.

Janitor for this company. Up at 4:45, train at a quarter
past five and started work at six. Cleaning, cleaning,
cleaning (including a lot of toilets). Not the fave activity
I’ve had.

Did you ever see John Donahoe or Jeff Bezos at the bottom of
one of those toilets? It's too bad that they control the
legal system as part of their full spectrum dominance so,
for example, arson of their corporate demon headquarters
would be considered a crime instead of self defense against
their crime. In Doom II, Doomguy went around killing demons,
he's a hero, like killdozer. See, killdozer knew the legal
system was rigged and inverted, that's why he committed
suicide after his heroic acts. If Doomguy saw ebay
headquarters I think he'd look for the Icon of Sin. It's
probably located in John Donahoe's forehead.

Yes! I saw Donahoe’s reflection at the bottom of a
lavatory bowl once, and it spoke to me: “one day, the true
one who we fear will tell you of this encounter. That day
will signal ‘the five year countdown’ predicted where
you where, where the true one resides, where the prophet
resides.” As he began to fade he told me that “the
prophet is not the true one, but the true one is the
prophet”.

I’m shaking.

i did oil changes for a 60 hour work-week and it was fucking
gay. i guess the work itself wasn't that bad, it's just that
everybody there was miserable and i wasn't going to let them
bring me down. i quit on my birthday as a present to myself
and then went out to a brazilian steakhouse in celebration
because fuck that place.

earth
messed it up pretty badly

alright, i ve done some pretty tedious jobs,
like connectorization (filling 1-3 thousand envelopes with
10-20 flyers/catalogues faxpapers each with a crew of 8
random students in usually one or two 9 hour work days),

stocktaking (handscan each item in a general store. did that
for three months starting at 6 in the morning and earned a
tax free fortune as a student. didnt have any social life
though going to bed in late afternoon),

worst one though the most interesting was:
dishwasher and desserts/entrees at the italian restaurant
(most stressful job i ever did and the only one id never do
again due to the insane working hours. i got like 150€ and
lots of free food during that 3 months period.)
if you feel like complaining about the prices on the menu at
a regular place think about the people working 10+ hours
from 10 to midnight with a noon break you cant do shit, meet
nobody and having NO days off ever.
