Worst job out there ??

Rickshaw driver. Remember those?
Dealing with public both obnoxious and drunk.
Earning buttons and being treated like a coolie.

Teachers they have to work 9 to 3 and have to know how to count to 10.

No but it's not suited to actually anyone. It's self-evident extreme nature is an aversion to basic humanity and should not be a full-time job. It should be rotated amongst censorers as for example pedophilia investigations in law force are rotated amongst detectives. The law suits lost by Facebook reflect this.

a meaningless soul destroying office job. demoralising and affects the rest of your life.

At least some of the jobs here have meaning - cleaning sewage, nurse, etc. you are making a difference.

I know people that think the same opinion about office jobs.

Usually, people thinking it's some cubicle, tie-wearing, monotonous so and so job. Where the years blow by leaving you with regret and a sense of emptiness.

My experience of office work was a job where I went in, started at 9 finished bang on at 5 pm every day. Never any stress, turned off the second I was home and worked with some lovely people. Granted, it wasn't "meaningful" work but I derived meaning in my life elsewhere. I enriched my soul through other outlets.

Always found it such an odd thing to think about someone. We're not our jobs, we're many different things and have different roles in different contexts. Look a little closer at someone before making those kinds of judgements as the weight of values such as meaning in life may lay elsewhere away from having a career. As others have already said a job is just a job to some people and they don't have a strong feeling about it either way. Just go in, do their work and be on their way.

An overworked sleep deprived hospital doctor/ SHO on night shift running from one ward to another with multiple nurses paging with problems at the same time juggling between the most urgent coupled with indecision, anxiety and whether to call the Registrar.

No job ain't worth that Shi*. Let's be honest too, how much are they earning? 12 euro an hour or something?

Not worth it.

And then in a few years they can set up a cushy GP practice and earn hundreds of thousands of euro per year for writing prescriptions and checking Mrs. Daly's blood pressure.

That’s not the case for them at any rate.

Pooh-ee!

I was thinking some posters are right.

The septic tank man can can clock off, have a good shower and switch off for the evening.
Some of these jobs mentioned you cannot leave it at the workplace or wash the stink off. They get inside your head and sap your spirit.

A septic tank guy came and emptied our septic tank and our neighbours within 2 hours. he was paid near 400 euro. some people have to work a week to get that.

Strange how people in the sh1ttiest "key worker" jobs are paid appallingly.

This is simply because wages are largely determined by how much competition there is of people willing to do the work. Many of these jobs are undesirable, but most aren't highly skilled, so there's plenty of people capable to take them on.

Great title for a rom-com set in rural Ireland.
Starring the gorgeous, talented Saoirse Ronan and 'Peaky Blinders' man, Cillian Murphy.
'Septic Tank Guy', a steaming pile of unadulterated cack, set against a backdrop of wall-to-wall shít.
A must-see (COVID-19 permitting)!

As a nurseI worked with a great surgeon in a very busy hospital . His first words to the SHO’s was” Be nice to the nurses, learn to listen to them , they know their patients and they know what needs to be done . Give them respect and they will be your greatest help on a busy stressful night “


If i saw an SHO under pressure and he /she was respectful and nice I would make life easier by having charts ready with a note of what was needed to be signed etc all laid out in order of priority

Be kind to nurses and they will be a great asset to you

I think having charts ready and priority issues highlighted should be standard. If you have one doctor coverning wards at night they're goign to be fairly junior and probably covering 150-200 patients and could be on a 24 hour shift.

Hardly all profit, he has to buy the machine, fuel/running costs, has to pay to get rid of the sewage at a works.

He already had the machine, hes a farmer. funny how he is probably making more than say a solicitor or accountant for just taking $hit away. fair play to him.

Not forgetting that the nurses are under tremendous pressure also and just as busy.,

At night they're not just as busy. As I said, on call the doctor could be covering 150+ patients.

Call center work is horrible. While a meat factory has physical awfulness to deal with, the call center is pure mental torture.

I often began a graveyard shift back in the day, knowing that apart from a short break and a half hour lunch I was going to spend 8 hours in hell with no let up. It was hard not to stop myself leaping out the window at times. The only thing it has going for it is you're in a nice warm environment in winter and you're sitting mostly.

I am presuming you dont know every nurse on every ward ? I worked on a very busy paeds ward and let me tell you we were extremely busy alll night. We had nights with no breaks and often no food unless grabbed quickly in the kitchen

I was posting about my own experience and we certainly had more than one SHO on call , no doctor more junior than an SHO , and at least 3 Registrars too

What length shifts were the doctors in the hospital at night doing?

And what do you think the ratio of doctors to nurses at night was?
