Was living in Portsmouth, Virginia at the time. Place is like a country ghetto. The main generational source of income to sustain a family was working at the Naval Shipyard.

I got a gig digging ditches there (in fucking gasoline). First day on the job and I'm being tortured by thoughts of "how the fuck did my life turn out like this? I wanted to be a fireman when I grew up."

prolly mcdonalds....i still had fun there... but that was prolly my only job that i knew wasn't about shit

the manager used to get overhype about dumb shit and i'd calmly remind him we at mcdoanlds and none of that shit he talking really matters to anyone but him.....

he used to get furious....i quit after like 3-4 months

I worked at Circle K the summer before freshmen year in college. I had got put on via my pop's relationship status at the time with the manager, so the entry stuff was a breeze. First red flag was when I asked for part time, but she gave me full time.

Over the course of the summer I discovered she was a bitch, including yelling at workers for remedial shit, making us do remedial shit, and etc. The co-workers were alright cept for this one older woman who was the assistant manager...was basically a mini-version of her, but would try to inspire me to do good at my job, while I'm like "BITCH, its only for the summer".

Towards the end of the summer, the manager got worst, even telling my pops about how I felt about the job. He asked me about it and I confirmed it, and we both just laughed like "You'll be alright". There was also a big scandal with a former co-worker stealing from the store, and she pinned it on the wrong worker, who was one of the better ones that eventually quit. So we lost 2 workers at once.

Last week working there she gave me the worst, boring graveyard shifts (11 P.M. to about 7 A.M.), and the majority of the people I worked with started no-showing. On my last day, I threw the shirt down on the register counter like Micheal Myers' mask at the end of Halloween 6

Worst job I had was when I was in PA for 6 months around age 18. I got there through a temp agency making 9.75 an hour I can't remember what that shit was called but I had to lift cinder blocks from 6AM til 4:30 PM. It took me like an hour to find this place as it was on a hill on a back road with no signs and 2 windows. I go in and the manager who looked like stone cold gives me a walk through and I notice I'm the only black dude in there and he grabs this filthy ass hard hat covered in asbestos and mesothelioma blows it off and hands it to me. They would drop pallets of cinder blocks off and I had to take em 1 by 1 and put em on a conveyor belt going like 3mph. Each block was like 50 pounds, then they moved me to an area where I had to grab 75 pound cinder blocks and stack em. Worst part was we only got 1 break that was 12:30-1 no 15 minute breaks or nothing bruh I was SICK. I went the next day and they sent me hope after 2 hours cuz I was too frail and slowing things up dawg I was so relieved they fired me I went home and took a 6 hour nap
 
4 hrs.

When I was 18 I got a job working in a factory operating a machine cutting fiberglass into sections.

You had to be fully covered. I had on a flannel, t-shirt under tucked into jeans, gloves, pants, workboots, goggles.

Keep in mind there were fans all around.

All day I was itching and after 4hrs it was time to go to lunch.

I went to get some water and realized I could not swallow without pain. Think of the worst sore throat you've ever had.

I pulled up my shirt sleeve and my arm looked like it was made out of glass. The damn fans blew that fiberglass all through and under my clothes. My whole body itched like hell.

I told the manager to kiss my ass, got the fuck up outta there, and went home to soak in a bath. I took off my clothes and everything from my chest up and calves down sparkled like crystal. This was the worst bath ever....sitting at home for hours gargling warm water.

..car seats all fucked up too from the ride home.

the golden arches. I was 15, got the job through the co op office at school. That shit was terrible. I was fuckin up all kinda shit the first day. I was burnin buns and patties and shit. Manager came back there and seen all that in the trash and was mad as hell. My co workers looked out and blamed it on this jackass that nobody liked so he took the heat for it.

They used to "mop" by pouring buckets of soapy water on that slipper ass floor, during lunch hour no less, had everybody in danger of mcfallin on that hot ass griddle. I'm like naw man. I never went back after my 2nd day except to pickup my check. The manager tried giving me the responsibility talk, thinking about my future and what not to get me to stay. I'm like I appreciate it but I'm good bro.

Yo did you mean to type that or nah cause that shit got me dying hahaha

Yeah i tried to throw a lil comic relief in there.

Real talk tho, I dont understand wtf they were thinking doing that. Soapy water and greasy floors dont mix. Smdh
 
call center when I was younger. No lie, I felt like a slave with a head set attached to my ear. After a year, I got fired for not returning a dropped call lmao. I was happy af when I walked outta there for the last time. A lot of call centers abuse their employees, you're prolly better of unemployed than working at one of those places.
 
Probably working in a truss plant, but painting houses was pretty brutal too.

I got laid off from the truss plant, and painting I went back to college.

Never been fired before.

Back in the day I was hooked up with this temp agency that was pretty good at sending me out on reasonable jobs. Usually filling in for guys for a couple of weeks while they were on vacation or off on injury (did some construction, worked at a recycling plant, worked as a shipper/receiver) but I knew it was always a temporary position and soon I would be moving on to the next place. Even if a job was wack, I would just grin and bear it until the next thing opened up...

Sent out to a new placement like normal but this time the temp agency was really vague about what I would be doing. Turns out it was a fertilizer factory where you would have to wear a hazmat type suit while you poured chemicals out of these plastic sacks into a giant mixer to make things like lawn fertilizer and what not. Of course, the day I was there the giant mixer broke down and bossman comes over to me with a wooden canoe paddle and tells me that I have to lean down into the vat and mix the chemicals by hand until they can get the mixer up and running again.

All I could think of was me turning into the Joker:

I made an excuse that I had to use the washroom... took off my protective clothing and bounced.

Temp agency was heated at me so I never used them for job bookings again...

selling Kirby vacuum cleaners. They really are the best vacuum cleaners in the world but they want you to sell these fuckin things for like $1700...........$1300 at the absolute lowest for a best friend/family member price..........when you can cop it off eBay for $700 lol. Of all the trainees, the stripper bitch quit first, which was telling. Two weeks later I finally make a sale by smooth talking some poor unemployed lady that need a $1700 vacuum cleaner like a hole in the head. Felt like shit and said fuck this wack-ass Glengarry Glen Ross life.
 
Popeye's..

The location I worked at had a shitty manager. All the other shift managers would let you eat lunch for free n take home food but his punk ass would make u pay. The final straw is when he told me to come to a meeting at 8 in the morning n he flipped on me when I got there, told me clean the dumpster area. I work there like a week. The fuck niqqa actually did me a favor by giving me the job seeing as I had just got fired from the previous job I had but fuck him, I was gonna let him treat me like that..

My nigga! Nigga came by the crib like 6-7 months ago and gave me that long ass demo. I was super impressed. Them shits work wonders. I mean, I told that nigga before he started 'There's no way on Earth I'm paying for this much for a vacuum. But go ahead and demonstrate the shit.'.

Nigga said 'Cool. I get paid either way, bro.'. Lol.

If it was maybe $400 or less, I'd have considered it. But not at the price they were asking.
 
Somebody up that 'Are you washed up?' thread so I can add, 'If you're impressed by a vaccum...you might be laundered.'. Smh.

This is the funniest story to me. Picking up cinder blocks for 10 hours with only a 30 min break. Lmao! I would've quit during first day or never came back the second day.
 
Shit wasn't a real job, but I got fired from a volunteer job.

Had to hold signs up and pass out pamphlets/flyers for the candidate that was running for councilman or mayor, I can't remember what that candidate was running for. Nigga had to be on the corner at 6 a.m. that morning which was a Saturday and work until 8 p.m. A nigga had just went out that Friday night, woke up tired as shit that morning and I was like man fuck that shit, I don't think I can do the whole day, my cuzin was like man let's just go out there. So we go out there and post up, man that sleep hit a nigga while on that corner, I took them them signs and stood/lean them shits up against the car and we put them flyers on the front window of the car and let the wipers hold them shits down, we got in the car and dozed off. One of the team leaders/candidate personal's drove by and woke us up and told us we were no longer needed, got mad at us cuz we were sleep instead of standing on the corner passing out flyers. My cuzin was like "we was like fuck that nigga, We aint voting for that nigga anyway" Lol.
