Quite a few, but mostly in the same field (R&D)

However, worst jobs ever had are:

picking caterpillars out of peas at a cannery
sticking turkeys necks up their bums in a frozen poultry plant

(both vacation work whilst at Uni)

In 22 yrs I've had two jobs - first one just after leaving school lasted three years and I've been with current employer since 1987

Thanks.

I must admit, mine has been an interesting life.

Vash the Stampede

That's bloody marvellous, wish I could say the same.

How long ago did you work for Compass? They are pretty big in the UK.

Vash the Stampede

Two years ago.

I was brought in as a temp for their payroll department while they re-organised staffing levels in the wake of a merger with another multi-national.

Apparently the bigwigs at the top of the company had slashed their staff immediately after the merger, only to discover that they'd been a trifle over-zealous with the hatchet. As a result of this breathtaking corporate incompetence, they spent the next few months frantically employing temps to plug the gaps.

I'd been lured in with an offer of three months' work, and one week's notice in the event of my services being surplus to requirements.

The reality was four weeks' work and a brief visit from the HR manager on Thursday afternoon in which she requested that I surrender my security pass at the end of my shift on Friday, as I would not be at work on the following Monday.

C'est la vie.
