I work for the epitome of corporate america© 40hr weeks for a bank that made 6billion in just profit alone, yet no raises, no christmas bonus, no parties... I work around a bunch of middleaged ignorant Bush supporters, fat gossip cows with the average weight being 210lbs. We get 1hr lunch, two 15min breaks. I shuffle papers and sit in front of a computer all day and wonder why I still need legs at this place considering my chair has wheels. On the other side of my cubicle wall sits a printer thats smells of nasty heated toner everytime someone uses it. Everyone hates me because I speak my mind and they think my jokes are horribly offensive. Apprently sarcasm and Jesus jokes are no longer "in". Everyone is a backstabber and wont hesitate to talk shit about you behind your back and yet I'm hated because I'll say stuff to your face. Our entire department has been demoted and all the while our bosses sugercoated the whole fiasco so we wouldn't riot and string them up by their nipples. For thanksgiving, instead of turkey we got a ball of brown cotton with paper attached to it that resmbles a fat round bird with downsyndrome because its googley eyes look in different directions. There isn't ample parking for the 200 employees that work here, so those who show up late are forced to park across a busy street in a dirt lot. Those who manage to arrive early will find themselves trying to sqeeze in between 2 SUV's because the parking lines were made too close together so you pray for aquiring an automobile with a sunroof. Upper management gets bonus' depending on how much money they save the company (read: screw the grunt employees over). Every morning we have a 15 brainwashing session where we learn about "professionalism" and "customer satisfaction", then play a stupid game in an attempt to 'raise morale'... Top that. |

can't top that, cuz i have a pretty great job with mostly cool people, but your job could be so much worse. worst jobs were corporate pet store (clearing out the dead before the store opens, having to wear a tie, dealing with villainous co-workers, customers, getting hassled about my freakish hair, secretly giving human meds to puppies to disguise their disease symptoms so people will buy them, puppies dying because the pet store doesn't want to pay a vet etc...most memorable event: a coworker poking through another coworker's bag discovers envelopes full of just-printed homemade hardcore pornography!) auto parts warehouse (where most memorably i was forced to listen to an oldies station all day...and a coworker threatened to "cut me" with a razor blade box cutter with no provocation) telemarketer (not the root of all evil, but one of the main branches...) |

I work for the epitome of corporate america© 48hr/week for a Security Firm at a four diamond hotel + a very famous investment firm that should know better, that made billions in just profit alone, yet no raises, no christmas bonus, no parties, well at least for my group... I work around a bunch of middleaged ignorant men, with law enforcement degrees, who all used to be cops, or are still. We get 30min lunch break but it never really lasts 20. I am busy from 7A - 7P, and get bossed around all day long, NON STOP. On the otherside of my cubicle sits the guy who would be sharing my workload, but they fired him and retained me so i end up doing twice as much. Everyone loves me because I have a computer science degree and can help out when the get stuck, I am the one who hates them. Everyone is a backstabber and wont hesitate to talk shit about you behind your back, and wont hesitate to stab you in the back to get your job. Our entire department has been been stripped of benefits, it costs 150/week for health insurance, for a single! For thanksgiving, i had to work. There isn't ample parking for the 2000 employees that work here, so for those who are late, you have to pay 25$ to park, instead of the 9$. Those who manage to arrive early will find themselves at work, without being paid. Upper management gets A LOT OF MONEY. Every morning we have a reem out session were we are told we are incompetent and cannot do anything right, moral is very low. Top that. |

The pet store thing sounds truly depressing. That gets my vote so far. I've never had a truly bad job, but they've all been boring and had their share of politics. It's really like high school, once you delve into the officeplace subculture. Gossip and vendettas and jealousy and espionage. I've been lucky not to be involved with a prick boss or a demented co-worker... yet. |

past jobs: age 13 - self employed lawn mower (with the loaning of my father's lawnmower) - was pretty good. only did it one year and had only 2 customers. one paid 20 and the other paid 15. the guy that paid 15 was a bit of a douche. a third of his backyard consisted of barely growing spots of grass where twigs and rocks were present. to avoid this shooting at my legs i didn't always cut them. he apparently watched me and said something about this. age 14 - mcdonalds in wal-mart - pretty crap but i wasn't old enough to know - i worked part time during the summer and school. gross working conditions, rude customers, and no raise ever after 9 months. i quit. the only plus was i worked with 3 of my friends. age 15 - clover gardens nursey - pretty crappy - i somehow managed to work friday through sunday and tuesday during high school. very early hours on the weekend. shit bosses who would never give us a break on work (i even worked one day when it snowed outside) work consisted of sweeping the store (inside and out) mowing the lawns and the lawn of the person who lived behind the store (?????) mowing the lawns always left me with a nosefull of dirt. i also loaded mulch, soil, manuer, and plants onto customers trucks/cars. also, the worst thing of them all, a twice a day hour long routine of watering every plant in the yard. was fired sort of. only plus was i worked with a good friend (one of the same at mcdonalds) all but one day out of the week. age 16 - cart pusher at shoprite - sucked ass - worked in winter. cold, wet, worthless pointless job. besides it being non stop work, it was a pointless job that lazy people could easily source out. just put the carts away yourself. age 17 - einsten bagels - made sandwiches, bagels, and stuff. cleaned and closed store usually. this was an ok job. my co-workers were cool for the most part, and some were friends from school. hours were great, the store wasn't open any later than 6 and i only worked part time. the only thing that sucked was the boss was an a |

*the boss was an ass age 18 - teacher's assistant at community college (work study program) - was ok for a while but then got unbearable - worked and went to school. worked 18 hours a week for a computer teacher. it started out good (long lunches, going home early, i learned some things ) but then it got old. the long lunches dissapeared and i often sat around doing nothing. i didn't really get to learn much towards the end because it was the same classes i would be sitting through and the same material i would prepare for and such. the worst part was the teacher i worked for. i think i was just around him too much. his quirks, movements, little speeches, everything he did started to drive me crazy. quit when the school year was over (unfortunately i haven't been back to school since) current job - bank teller - started out pretty good but in recent times it's been looking bad. all it's been is more and more restrictions and more and more work since i started. well, ok then........ |

I currently work two jobs. I work at a Christmas ornament store in the mall. I wear a red apron, walk around helping people, and ring customers up. They play Christmas music over and over. It pays $8 an hour = alright, and it's nice to make some money after class and on the weekends. I also work as an intern for Gwen Mazer, Oprah Winfrey's former image consultant, who currently is a professor of fashion business at the Academy of Art in SF. She's writing a book. She tapes her interviews, sends the tape to me, I transcribe the audio into text, then I e-mail her the document and meet her to return the master tape. The tapes are 2 hours long; it takes approximately 4 hours of work to transcribe an hour of recording. That job pays $18 an hour = nice. |

relay operator: my is to make telecommunication accessible to people who are deaf, hard of hearing, speech disabled, nigerian scammers, or bored college kids. i would say 30% of my shift at the relay service is spent assisting people who legitimately use the service to call the hearing, another 30 percent is doing my best to trip up nigerian credit card frauds (damn near impossible), and the remaining 40 percent goes to dorm tots (ie saying things like "come all over my face" or "i want to shit all over the operator" while some dumb fucking cocksucker types to himself or his buddy across the hall). don't worry, all you usa-ers are paying for this service (ip relay - my company gets about $1.33 for every billable minute...it sure adds up!) on every phone bill. |

maybe i should write details of my job and it's greatness. i work in a suburb fitness club. on mondays, tuesdays and wednesdays i look after the children of the club members. i basically watch videos and draw castles and knights. sometimes i even get to play gba with the kids. sometimes the kids cry, and then i hug them. sometimes we play silly games, like 'the seamonster'. the only crap thing about that is that the space is very limited, which leads to injuries easily :) on other days, basically on weekends (like right now) i work at the reception of the club. i answer the phone, make sure that people go to right places, sell nutrition and beverages and listen to the problems/etc the clients have. especially saturdays are quiet, so i get very bored and then i just have to use internet :/ i was first a member on this club and now i work here, and i love this place <3 |

i spent 4 months working for a moving company. no overtime. had to get up at 4am every morning to get there, most days last 8-14 hours, when i get back to the warehouse and the busses stop running, i sleep in one of the trucks with a bunch of pads. i made 8$ an hour for the first two month, the last two i was making 11$. pianos and sofa beds were my worst enemy. my back still hurts to this day. top that. |
