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

I was part of lab which had really talented, and knowledge team members. However, it was a super busy lab. I learnt that it's always important to ask for whatever it is, be vocal about it. If one asks for it (whether it be a advice, seeking out a certain project/type of work, a new initiative), it makes it much easier for the rest of the team members to understand where you come from, and help you learn, and grow. Worst case, according to the response, you understand the dynamics of relationship with certain people. You can strategize your efforts towards gaining experience from someone else, or restrategize how you get the best of a certain person, and give them back the same. Everyone is accountable to someone, or something, and they have their own shit going on. Being vocal, open, and transparent about everything really helps everyone understand each other's position better.

I was in a company with extremely talented people, great vision and drive, but with a rather angry boss who did not shy away from yelling at you in front of everyone. But one of the greatest things I learnt from her was the importance of apology, which she always generous with, and most importantly, the separation of these temperaments from your understanding and judgement of the person. We still work on projects and no amount of disagreements have forged a ridge between the great work partnership.

I worked as a dishwasher at restaurant where most people disliked the head chef, including me, but they were too afraid to confront him. What I learned that you have adjust your communication style towards the different employees, using the same tone and assuming everyone has your values is a form ignorance. Also, the happiness of lowest person in hierarchy, tells a lot about the over employee satisfaction.

The first company I joined after graduation had a good reputation and also good employees. But lacked any form of management, I joined at the peak of covid and got no communication from their side whatsoever. They replied to my mails late and sent me no salary for months. I learnt that everything that glitters is not gold. Having a fancy name and tech for your company is not the only thing. You need people who take care of every small thing in that case. Having is wholesome team and a good culture is more important than just having a good product.

Sorry, i will not agree with this question. because company offers you job and you accept it as personal choice. It is your own decision

I used to translate subtitles every day from 9-5. I was earning online 4 dollars per day. I quit the job. I felt like my worth is low. I was used as a cheap alternative. I hope this experience will not happen again.

It was a job in a small bar. I worked nights as a bartender. I learned how to be friendly and listen to people like a psychologist. Successful people came to this bar and I realized that poor and rich people have the same amount of problems.

"I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed..." Michael Jordan
