Worst short job: Telemarketer. I started on monday and they had me calling people for the Red Cross to remind them it was time to come in and donate blood again. Did the same on Tuesday. Those days were fine. On Weds they had me calling people in Florida on behalf of Phillip Morris tobacco urging them to call their representative and tell him/her to vote against the increase in cigarette taxes. I made it about two hours (got hung up on a lot) then I asked for the name on the screen. The woman said he wasn't there and asked who I was. I told her who I was and who I was calling for. She then told me he had died about 8 months ago from lung cancer and proceeded to lay into me about how cigarettes had killed him. I asked to be moved to a different job, they said no so I quit.

Worst long job. I worked for Radio Shack right out of high school. They underpay, treat their employees like shit and sell products that they know are broken. It was terrible but somehow I stuck it out for a year and a half. About a year into it we moved the store. I was told I would make more because we would have more traffic. Instead they hired another person so I actually made less. When we moved the store I worked about 75 hours one week including 36 straight as we did the actual move and they were pissed at me for claiming the hours. My manager and the district manager told me not to claim them. I told them if they didn't pay me for them I would turn them into OSHA. We had a stand off and they finally gave in. I quit about 2 months later.
