That depends on the criteria. The worst job I had to do was factory work. I don't know how people can handle the repetition day after day. My first two weeks of work were spent laying out metal pieces, spraying them with glue then attaching them to magnets. Eight hours of this for two weeks was almost my breaking point but then they gave me a new job. This one sprayed shaved metal pieces all over me which burned through my clothes and left marks on my hands and arms. No, they didn't have any protective equipment either. I finally quit the job after they switched me to a different department where the employees threw sharp metal disks at each other while they were working. I was stationed right in between them and frequently got hit. The managers refused to take action since the two instigators were their "best employees".
The worst people to work for was at an office job. The job was handled by two full time people before I started but I was left to handle the whole thing myself. They let me go after a couple of months because I couldn't keep up with the workload. What made it difficult was that the two people who were handling the job full time where the two bosses that let me go. They knew it took two people because they both did the job before but refused to provide me with extra help.
At least I got some satisfaction a few years later. I kept in contact with one of the employees who told me that the worst of the two bosses was fired because she was found to be too incompetent for the job and was abusive to others.
