Most hated Job?

I couldn't stand to work for someone that yelled and screamed all the time just to make up for his shortcomings. If a boss treats me with respect, I'll give him well over 100%, but **** on me once and that's it. I've always tried to go above and beyond, but there are just some jobs you can't do it with. I honestly don't know how you stuck it out as long as you did, other than needing a job to pay bills. I've been lucky, I've had a job that I always liked what I was doing. I started out in tool design and absolutely hated it. I hated sitting at a desk. I finally got the job I have now and have always been satisfied. Well other than some of the bureaucratic B.S. that goes along with it and any job for that matter. You're always going to have some. If a person looks hard enough, just like in that article, one can always find a reason to hate a job.
 
Thanks!

Yes, after that I got lucky. I answered an ad in a local paper and got a good job working for an insurance company. Lots of work and stress, but a much nicer environment.

When I was young and energetic,I can't say I had any jobs I really hated except this one: NEVER,EVER work for a husband AND wife. I was in my late teens and worked in a Dairy Queen that a husband and wife had bought and worked at together. Trouble was,one of them would tell me to do something,and the other would tell me to do something else!! I complained about this eventually,and was fired,but to heck with them.

This does not necessarily apply to jobs you might have while of school age: In a certain museum,the head archeologist and his wife ran that program together. Both were hard headed and ego centric. The employees were treated daily to the 2 of them yelling and screaming at each other!!! It got on a lot of nerves around there.
 
Not to get started on kids, but kids don't want these lousy jobs today, and they don't want to pay their dues. They just want things handed to them. These lousy jobs were part of my dues and training. I suffered plenty, but I earned it. Kids nowadays are arrogant and think they know it all right out of school, when there is so much they don't know in a practical sense. They tick off decisionmakers, and then get bad outcomes, and they don't understand why. When we were kids, we would take any job as long as it was an honest days' work. Nowadays, kids sit at home sponging on their parents instead of taking a job sweeping up.

I was the first person at the insurance company with my background to have the position I was in. They weren't sure it would work, but it did. Of course, I worked hard at it and didn't look down my nose. I learned the facets of the job. When they offered to pay for me to take courses, of course, I went after work- who doesn't go for free education when they can get it? If that machinist course wasn't hour and a half drive away I would take it in a minute- or if the train went nearby. It figures they put the only course so far away from people who might want to take it.

Many years ago when I was in High School a local non profit was raising money by selling Circus tickets over the phone. My job was to go out every evening and deliver the tickets and collect the money owed. I was the one who always ended up in the roughest parts of town, with no street lights and poor maps. I had an old 63 Studebaker Champ pickup that was not very fuel efficient, even by the fuel standards back in 1973. People are a lot different when they have to pay for what they ordered on the phone, so I would typically get about 50% of my nightly quota. I spent a lot of time lost, looking for people who would as much as not stiff me. After the first week I tallied my pay and compared it to my expenses and lo & behold,I was paying for this wonderful experience. Seemed like a good idea when I started..............
