What is the worst job?


Recommended Posts

Dental nursing. Patients and dentists speak to you like something they have trodden in. You get rubbish wages for cleaning up peoples spit off the floor (and myself). I have had to phone the police on a few occasions because i was scared to leave the building at night and we have to pay £120 registration a year for the privilege of going to work to be spoke to like manure. We spend all day running about and never get a full hour lunch break. I have worked in this business for over ten years and everywhere is equally terrible. working from 8-7 is the norm and if you unfortunately need the toilet you will have to wait until your lunch 'hour' . It would be fantastic if a patient actually acknowledged we were in the room half of the time, the dentist is always 'mr fantastic' but we have had to go through training ourselves and get no credit. sorry...but next time you go to the dentist try and think of the poor girl stood in the corner probably terrified of getting a telling off when you leave the room. its amazing what gets thrown at us when patients aren't around.

Having just cleared away a badly decomposed dead mouse that had been creating a stink for days I think dealing with/cleaning up after rotten corpses must be pretty bloody awful.

 

That isn't your worse job though is it? That's just something you imagine to be bad.

Mine was working as a buffer in a pewter factory. Covered in muck and grime every day, it got everywhere, plus it could be dangerous too. It was piecework too (performance related pay) which is never a good thing.

Mine was probably Demulders in Nuneaton, it's where the carcasses of dead animals are taken and crunched up into feed for cattle. Trust me not a job for the faint hearted, and the smell got into your skin I was using a bottle of aftershave a day to get rid of smell after 3 showers.

Couldn't you tell them to get out and not to bother coming back until they were slightly better educated and prepared to behave themselves?

 

Or would you get into trouble for being blunt towards your clients?

 

I have worked there as well - he meant the staff, not the clients...

 

Pinnnnnng! Correct.:hihi:

 

I think he knew that ...

I'm really shocked by this. I go to a very nice private dentists and from what I can see the dental nurses seem very happy, even have a little banter with the dentists. I've always thought it was a good job. Why don't you become a hygienist, is that any better?
