Worst Job?

[FatAlbert85]

Just wonderin' what the worst job you guys ever had was. I used to work at Wendy's and this place called Metal Improvement, which was a heat-treating plant. Check this shit out-




That's right... That was a huge fireball bursting out of a furnace!
That was my worst job. What was yours?

[zacremacle]

mine was in a foundry almost just like in that pic is how it was. except I had to load metal into a furnace with flames shooting out. sweated my ass off and it was hard work.

[FatAlbert85]

Yup, that's just about the same type of crap I had to do. Loadin parts in furnaces and takin them out at like 1700 degrees. Only good thing there was the benefits lol.

I'd do that if the salary was right.

[FatAlbert85]

You say that now, but wait til you're there for a while. Besides that, they don't pay very well anyways. 9 bucks an hour but you did get overtime if you wanted. Working conditions suck though man. Think 140+ degrees when it's 97 outside. You know it's too damn hot when you go out into the July sun to cool off.

[240SXSlideStar]

True, but I'd do it for like 25$ an hour.......for like a month....

[zacremacle]

I did it for 6 months at $12 per hr. I wouldent be ablt to put up with it for the rest of my life though. It was a job for me until I start college which is in jan after a year and a half of waiting.

I need a new job, I have a high school diploma and been at the same job (my first) for 13 months, I hate it and I'm about to be fired, so I wanna quit before they fire me, lol, anyone have any suggestions to where I could apply and make decent money?

[nissan_240sx]

^
where do you work? lol

[240SXSlideStar]

Canadian Tire, it's a big departement store, with Housewares, Hardware, auto parts (where i am), sports, repair shop, etc, they are all across Canada.

[nissan_240sx]

sounds cool, hows the pay lol

[240SXSlideStar]

7.85 an hour CDN which is like 30cents over minimum wage in Quebec, it would be cool if I got paid twice as much. lol

you can get a job anywhere as long as you know how to get it. i haven't been turned down from a job in 5 years. you gotta be persistant and go back atleast every 2nd day but don't be too annoying while you're there. get to the point and show you really want the job. thats what i've done and i'm now parking cars for $10/hr plus at least another 5 or 6/hr in tips.. i've earned up to $200 in a day..

but my worst job happened to be the highest paying. tree planting. we had to get up early everyday (some days there was frost on the ground), make our own shitty lunches, drive for half an hour, get out and work our asses off for 10-12 hours in the blistering heat, freezing rain, hail, thunderstorms with rotten feet, cold hands, blisters, sore feet, drenched clothes and the realization that if you don't work, you don't earn money. all that seems to be just complaints but when you're out there, being attacked by a bear seems about perfect by 9am. i actually almost broke my arm on purpose so i could go home but sucked it up and made $5000 more.. next year, i'm slated to earn about $13000 before taxes. thats in 2.5 months.. max 3

haha what a rant.. but slidestar, go for anything at this point. find places that are paying $10.hr and bug them till they hire you.
