Worst job ever

Tweet

My worst job was working at an answering service for funeral directors. Besides the obvious downside, dealing with callers who are stressed and grief stricken, the directors themselves were very demanding. We had a script that we had to adhere to no matter what the circumstances and managers were always listening in on your calls and critiquing you. And, unfortunately, there was a lot of pettiness from co-workers, bilingual representatives looked down on the rest of us, competition for better positions (like handling alarm company calls) and it was just plain nuts sometimes. I lasted a little over a year full-time, then six months part-time.
