6 Minute English from the BBC

Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English, I'm Neil

And I'm Beth

Have you ever had a horrible boss?

Not been paid enough or simply got tired of doing the same old boring jobs?

I love presenting 6 Minute English, of course

but some of my previous jobs have been pretty awful Neil

When I wait just in cafes I was on my feet 10 hours a day, it was exhausting

Most people have had bad work experiences at one time or another

maybe a job that was boring, badly paid or just working too much and getting burned out

lacking energy or enthusiasm because of working too hard

But does it have to be like this?

Since most of our waking day is spent at work

How can we make sure our job doesn't make us unhappy?

That's what we'll be discussing in this programme and as usual

we'll be learning some useful new vocabulary as well

Sounds good, Beth but first I have a question for you

The worst job I ever had was the summer I spent

working as a portable toilet cleaner at music festivals

But according to a recent survey by Forbes magazine

what was voted the worst job in the UK?

Was it a call centre worker, be a bartender or see a traffic warden?
