A Conversation for Talking Point: Your Worst Job

Think the staff you're working with can really work wonders in how much you enjoy it. I've worked in places with some lovely people and that's kinda made up for some of the yucky stuff we've had to do.

Equally, I've worked in a couple of places where the staff team/bosses weren't overly friendly or there was just something about it all that wasn't great.

Like in one place I worked, I seemed to spend a good deal of energy filtering out the two different but equally terrible radio stations that were being played in the room, and the *constant* use of the f-word from my collegues. (Don't swear myself, but there are certain times when the f-word can be excused and lots of times when it's just not necesary.)

Another place I worked in, I was supposed to have a 2 week induction to learn how things were done. Half the time I wasn't even on site coz they sent me away for training. Spent a lot of the remaining time on site, pretty much by myself, so I learnt *loads*....NOT!!! And to top it off, the boss didn't seem to twig and complained that I wasn't to sure of things. smiley - huh
