Name a former job that you did not like and you were glad to say "so long" to.

I used to work at this fast food restaurant a few years ago and I only stayed for a couple of months. It got on my last nerve. If I would have stayed, I would have gone berserk. The people were nasty and rude that worked there. I felt bad a few days after I quit because I was out of work, but luckily I found something not too long afterwards.

My last job even though my goodbye was not voluntary. It was a factory job in the automotive industry. I was so sick of everything thats going on in that line of work. Everything from not knowing what was going to happen, to managments bad decision making(and believe me they mad really bad choices that were hurting the company), to pessimist co workers who would constantly worry and complain about the job. I'm out. Time to find something else. No offense to anyone here who works in factory, and I have nothing against it, but that kind of work I cant do it anymore.

One summer during my student days I had a job as a peach sorter at a large cannery in California's Central Valley. I was glad to have the job and it paid well, for a student, but it was the most boring job I've ever had in my life. It was the same thing for eight hours. Your mind would start playing tricks on you. If you stood there by the conveyor belt for any length of time, after a while it seemed like the belt was stationary and the floor was moving ( I wasn't smoking anything funny, either:lol: ) I couldn't wait for the whistle to go off, when the conveyors stopped and we could go home. It was the same thing over and over. Although I was a very conscientious employee, I was so glad when summer was over and I could go back to school.

I've had about 3.

The first stood out the most though - I walked right off the job. They wanted me to lie to employees, former employees, vendors and the gov't. Then they expected me to walk and housebreak their dogs during my breaks and lunch hour. The last straw came when they wanted me to "witness" a fist fight between one of the owners and the shop foreman.

Another was a "sex shop" in Toronto. Constantly had perverts phoning and coming into the store. Scared the bejeepers out of me.

And another one was a couple of years ago. A place I had wanted to work at for 23 years and it turned out to be absolutely horrible.

last summer i worked ten-hour shifts as a custodian for an astronomical observatory at the top of a 10,000-foot mountain. i despise everything about mountains. i only took it because i was desperate for a job for the summer and i was offered the position without any application work required. it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be, but it REALLY wore me out. i'm glad i did it but it's not something i would ever do again. at least it's made me be more appreciative of jobs that don't physically burden me and aren't two hours away from civilization, lol.

I don't miss my cashier job at all. Long hours on my feet, putting up with customers' verbal abuse, dealing with lazy co-workers who wouldn't do their job. How I survived as long as I did, I don't know. People tell me I have the patience of a saint.

I still have to put up with some crap at my current job (behavior problems, uncooperative parents, annoying co-workers) but overall, I find it so much more enjoyable and rewarding.

That secretary job I had at a car repair place. The owners were, and I do believe literally, insane. I think the guy felt threatened because I was more intelligent than his wife, so they went insane on me and I walked out on my lunch break. The experience still haunts me.
