never had a really awful job.
honestly, the most I dreaded going to work was my very first job, at 16 when I started working in a video rental store (when those existed). They gave me one day of training, then left me to run the store by myself for 8 hours every Sunday.
I barely knew what I was doing for the first while. I'd have to call customers and tell them they were late returning rentals, at which point i'd get verbally berated. One guy threatened to come in and beat me up, but never made good on the threat.
I think if I'd been properly trained it would have not been so bad. but the stress of going in and having to deal with inevitable situations I didn't know how to handle really made me dread going to work for the first few months.
I quit before too long for a better job, as the pay was shit anyways.
My next job involved working as a receptionist/janitor and I didn't like that one either but at least I was properly trained.
