Working for a rightwing political campaign. Working for a religious org.
Debt collection.
Or anything related. I filled a gap between careers doing tech support for a local (Canadian) software company that made a database for collectors (primarily in the USA). Never again, the industry or ancillary to it.
I worked with a debt collection agency from an IT perspective and dealt with what I believe to be the same company. It is an industry that I never want to support again if I can avoid it. I met some good people but it’s just an unhealthy work environment overall.
I once fucked up a potentially lucrative business-to-business contract for one of those companies. It seems I innocently documented their intent to do illegal bullshit a little too thoroughly. It’s some of the work I’m most proud of.
🫡 Thank you for your service
Least I could do.
And I’m still too chicken to even leave my comment about it long term, because these are not good people.
You’re fucking class mate.
I once took a job where we essentially repossessed trap houses from the inhabitants - even if they had once been legal tenants. I soon started feeling much better when neighbours cheered us on and brought cups of tea. I later discovered my boss was notorious in the industry for going after scum rather than debtors. That job might have been the closest I’ve ever got to public service. But as for everything else you say, I couldn’t agree more. Debt collection against individuals is a disgusting, exploitative and inherently corrupt business.
Beekeeping. I appreciate and respect the little guys, but I can’t overcome the panic when a loud buzzy thing with a knife on its ass comes near me.
Australian native bees can’t sting, do a great job of pollinating, and make a little honey on the side. They’re very curious from experience with a swarm making a home on my water meter box, but not very scary.
Checks notes on Australia I don’t believe you.

Underwater welding,like on those pipelines that people get sucked inside
You don’t want an encounter with Delta P
The crab, damn.
Seriously. That was a tiny hole it got pushed into
Big yikes
Well, I just learned another job that I will never do. Thanks for the educational video.
Check out the Byford Dolphin incident if you really want to hear about a terrible professional diving accident. A whole guy was sucked through a tiny slit in a fraction of a second due to massive delta P.
When it’s got ya, it’s got ya!

Nothing. Give me a million dollars a day I’ll do any legal job there is. I’d retire after a day or seven depending on the job, but you could absolutely pay me enough to do any job.
Hi there, I represent a pharmaceutical company that has made a new penis removal procedure using groundbreaking new technology that only requires one pair of cheap blunt scissors instead of the usual expensive medical equipment. They are looking for test candidates and you seem like a perfect fit!
Blåhaj here I come!
Doesn’t really sound like a job but ok. I guess I also wouldn’t do anything that would likely kill me. Like sherpa everest.
Anything to do with health insurance in the USA. I don’t want blood on my hands through denying people necessary medical care.
My old job doing systems design for a predatory mobile game. I quit that job, moved half a state away, and got a job that pays half as much in a company with integrity. Best decision of my life.
Pro-life advocate. There are a lot of jobs I find distasteful or morally grey but I’d refuse to work if the thing I did entirely opposed my ethical stance.

Anything medical. Humanity is gross and there’s too much on the line.
Police executioner, or just police in general. I have morals.
… I think the police should have morals.
Arms Dealer. Anything to do with Wall Street. Law Enforcement and Incarceration. Human Trafficking. Anything dealing with the Military. Religion/Cult jobs. Scam artist. Lobbyist. Probably a few more I can’t think of at the moment.
There are lots of jobs you couldn’t make me do even with a gun to my head, let alone a paycheck.
I’ve worked as a consultant for 15 years, so I’ve worked with a lot of companies. There have been two companies I refused to work for. A payday loan company and one of those places that runs stand alone ERs.
What’s going on at the standalone ERs? Genuinely curious.
I have a few near me, but would never consider going to one if it’s going to cost me the same as a regular ER that’s most likely better equipped and staffed.
They are basically glorified urgent care clinics that can charge you exorbitant sums because they call themselves ERs. Plus like you said they aren’t attached to hospitals, so if something is really wrong they’ll have to transfer you. And bonus for them, they probably own the ambulance that will transfer you, so they can take more of your money.
Roofing. That has to be the hardest job there is.
The hardest? I dunno about that.
