What Was Your Worst Job?

For me it was parking enforcement officer. I was insulted, threatened and hated almost daily. Had to give it up. What about you?

support worker for kids with severe autism and behavioural problems... aged between 4 and 19. understaffed, overworked and far too many kids with way too severe problems to handle. every single day i was getting attacked and involved in incidents which required restraining kids a certain way (NAPPI) and shit loads of paperwork to do every single time meaning leaving late. once a fortnight i had to sleep over at the weekend and it was my responsibility to be in charge of the fire alarms keys etc. it was just horrible. one day an hour into my shift, i was assigned to the girls side yet again (the girls were the worst behaved and nobody ever wanted them)... went to get em up out of bed and was told to fuck off. so i said “ya know what i will”... gave my keys to a manager and left then and there

i should’ve known what i’d be in for my very first shadowing shift.. took an autistic lad to the park and when it came to leaving he started attacking random kids there, hitting staff, they ended up restraining him on the floor and i had to call for back up... big crowd of people round us watching... should’ve done a runner then 😂 “fuck this shit i’m out!”
