From Jen Hubley, Your About Today Editor.
The worst job I ever had was temping at a bank. My sole responsibility was to update an Access database with customer names, and then generate letters informing people that their old bank had merged with my bank, and that they would now owe one million dollars per month in banking fees. The bad karma alone was enough to make it a terrible job.

Readers Share Their Worst Job Stories
That's not a patch on this reader's story, however: "I worked for a bed and breakfast in Scotland. The chef/owner had a furious temper; one of the most frightening I'd ever seen. ... I finally quit when he threw a scalding hot fry pan at my head in the kitchen for mixing up an order."

Share Your Worst Job Story
Think you can beat that? We want to know. After all, some of us are still dodging those frying pans and need entertainment.

What to Do When You Hate Your Job
Hint: Do not throw kitchen implements in return, no matter how tempting it might be.

How to Deal With a Bad Boss
Most of our readers' stories have one thing in common: The Bad Boss. (Well, OK, there was one that featured the most boring job ever.)
