Former employees reveal the dark side of seemingly glamorous jobs. From bartenders and influencers to veterinarians and bakers, these individuals share their regrets about choosing careers that turned out to be more stressful and challenging than expected.
"I Do Not Recommend This Lifestyle At All": Former Employees Are Revealing The"Fun" Careers That Are Actually HELL On EarthFrom the time we are children, most of us have a"dream" career. Whether one dreamed of being an astronaut, an artist, or a doctor, nothing feels like more of an accomplishment than when they finally land the job they've fantasized about for a lifetime.
Then there's breaking up dog fights. Some dogs react to loud noises, some react to squirt bottles, and with others, you just have to stick your boot in between them to break up the fight. It's the worst. Serial offenders get put with a different group of dogs for safety, but it's trial and error. You aren't sure if two dogs will get along until you try, and some dogs operate on a hair-trigger.
I remember some commercial where Chris Rock turned on a TV, and it was his standup. I would be like,"NO! I'm not watching this again!'" "It’s physically a disaster. Any lower body injury you acquire never heals because you can never give it a chance to heal since you never sit. Your hands are messed up from constantly being wet or cut. I don’t pee like a normal person because ducking out just to pee for two minutes over an 8+ hour shift invites someone to rant and complain. I did god knows what damage to myself by breathing in thick cigarette smoke 8+ hours per day for six days per week for 16 years.
"Truck-driving. Everyone assumes you're 'getting paid to travel.' That is technically true, but you don't get time off in convenient places to see what you're traveling through." "I’ve been doing it for 12 years now. My back is f*cked, and I’ve missed a lot of family events while on the road — all for low pay and no benefits. On the one hand, I can’t see myself doing anything else, but on the other, I wish I could get another job doing something else, but I don’t qualify for any other type of work.
"Librarian: Many people think it's a dream job where you read all day, etc. Instead, library employees are social workers in one of the first departments that get budget cuts when the local government reviews costs." "Your 'roommates' often try to sabotage your career. The people from your agency can be very sleazy, and there is no regard for your personal space or time. You will go to over ten castings daily and then work into the night with zero breaks. They will weigh you in front of each other and remind you that any change in weight beyond 2kg will result in you being sent home — I’ve heard the most horrible things said to young people.
You're told you're not allowed to say 'no' to any requests, and then you're blamed because your client behaves in a certain manner. You're given no support whatsoever, no defense training, no de-escalation training. You watch your clients be ripped off, abused, taken advantage of and are then told to keep your mouth shut or you'll lose your job.
"Photography: I worked as a professional photographer for about 15 years — first at a major newspaper, then on my own. So I'll cover the bad in both.""During my time with the newspaper, I saw some shit. I've been sent to fatalities, terror attacks, car crashes, etc. I worked terrible hours, went on long drives for a single shot, and was paid extremely low wages. Then, when they decided it was time to cut costs, 20 of my friends and I were out the door.
"My dad, uncles, and grandfather were all bakers who owned their own bakeries. There is a fulfillment that comes from making something so sweet and joyful, but the behind-the-scenes work is WILD." "Being a 'video game tester.' Playing video games all day and getting paid sounds great in theory, but in reality, you're just playing the same game every day."
Between the leaded gas, radioactive pharmaceuticals, poor maintenance, 14-20 hour work days, and toxic fumes that will randomly kill people — it's a shitty industry."You work long hours and are constantly over-booked and under-staffed. You watch animals suffer and often contribute to their suffering in order to try and help them.
