#8. The Joe Biden gaffe pooper scooper - traveling right behind Ole Slow Joe cleaning up his messes.
Wasn't so bad with burning hides and the day old pallets of fresh ones with cool looking BIG wriggly parasites looking to live a moment longer; but when the right winds came from the mausoleum across the San Lorenzo river and mixed with the aroma of the Tannery the smells were; let's just say only worse than that is front lines after a brutal battle in hot climate and bloated bodies.
Okay enough, pay was better at the Tannery anyway. it's the stuff of bad dreams, and I can honestly say if folks could smell war, maybe there'd be less war.
But I digress big time,
sorry folks.

When I lived in Western Kansas there was a rendering plant outside town. When you passed and the wind was blowing the wrong way you simply tried to hold your breath until you passed the place. I could not imagine having to work there.
I also saw an interview on TV of a woman who worked cleaning the large public toilets in India. She hated the job but could not get anything else as she was an untouchable. I really felt sorry for her.
What a garbage list.
The Foxconn workers are in a zero contaminate, air conditioned environment, with a job of placement of components much like an assembly line worker anywhere in the world, sweating away doing his/her job.
To the “worst” elephant sperm collector:
How about the low caste small young Indian girls, who must reach into the bamboo waste shoot of other Indians, to clean out the human waste that clogs up the zero water “toilet”, squat holes, probably for less than a penny apiece.
This thread is doomed.
My brother and I spent a week at a lead recycling outfit back in the 1970’s - the work consisted of smashing automobile batteries with a sledge hammer while wearing rain gear and a face shield, then separating the lead plates from the plastic and acid. Did I mention the pay was $3.00 per hour? The foreman was this huge black guy with silver eyes, scariest looking dude I’ve ever seen. Nice guy, though.

I once saw a bugs bunny movie where Bugs had a job in a munitions factory testing bombs for duds. As each bomb would come by, bugs would hit it on the nose with a hammer. If it didn’t blow up it was a dud and bugs would mark it so.
That sounds like a pretty bad job to me. You typically would only get to test one bomb.
Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel on the Man Show once interviewed the two finalists for the worst job in America. One was a scuba diver at sewage treatment plant. The other, who won, was a sperm collector at a turkey farm. He said the worst part was the way the Tom turkeys all quieted down when he walked into their coop.
I remember after the Jonestown suicides and murders the U.S. Military sent their people whose job it was to handle bodies down there to recover the remains.
I remember seeing some of them interviewed and they all, every one of them said they just could not quit washing their hands. This was weeks after they returned.
It should probably be observed in this context that Foxconn employs so many people that despite the widely reported suicides, the suicide rate for Foxconn employees is below that for the PRC as a whole.
