What’s the worst job you’ve ever had and what did you learn from it?

I was the Director of Operations for a shipping start-up. We grew so fast and operational the wheels completely fell off. I worked over 100 hours a week for the better part of 3 months. I learned that's possible. Physically and mentally draining and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but it can be done. It was the most difficult work experience I have been through but after getting through it I feel like my resilience and capacity to handle stress is much higher.

For me, personally, I define worst job= worst job environment. If the company culture is toxic (i.e. competing against each other or by department) there is no positive output in the long-run. From my past toxic company, I learned that you can have a great product, ceo, and growing revenue yet see the end to the company. The greatest indicator of a company going down is the high turn-over rate of employees. I hear from my past colleagues that the company is now laying off people and deteriorating though it is in the industry that highly benefited off the pandemic.

I've had great jobs with bad experiences. Some have been with bosses who were bosses and would tell people to do their job & abuse them without having any experience doing the job themselves. I know this could be controversial but the leader makes the job interesting and not the job itself.

Almost all the jobs I have done have been good. Let me tell you about the best and worst job of my life. my first job was with sehhaty and it was the best job for me where i learn how to work professionally, how to manage time, how to manage team and many more. And the worst job I've ever had was customer service at a shopping mall.

I was working as a curriculum architect in one of the start up's where I was designing their courses, my boss had very unrealistic deadlines and was always in a hurry to complete things...Then he started cutting my salary if the work was not completed in the deadlines given. After a few days I left that job. The lesson I learnt was two way, firstly one should speak up for any behavior which is wrong and affects ones peace of mind. Second an employee is not just a employee but a part of your work family, treat them like that for better productivity and relationship with them. Also, leadership is with people not for the people..

Almost all the jobs I have done have been good. Let me tell you about my life's best and worst job. My first job was with allvendi discount men's facial scrub and it was the best job for me because I learnt many thing from this professionally, and my life's worst job is marketing
