# I didn't do it for that long thankfully.
I did do one of the worst jobs in the world for several months though; throwing food from international flights away at Schiphol airport.
There was a huge mechanized room with a conveyor belt running through it, and all the food, plates, trays, and everything else from the catering of international flights was emptied out directly onto it.
It was our job to pick through the mounds of discarded food and remove any or the reusable stuff and stack it into pallets which were then sent through the washing machines.
In the middle of the room was a huge pit with drains in it where a slurry of all the discarded food was deposited. The whole place was alive with cockroaches and smelled like death and sugar.
There was a rule that nothing could be taken out of the room, but inside the room you could eat anything you wanted... I saw people eating cakes and lobster and steaks straight from the trays, sometimes from the conveyor belt itself.
It was hellish in there. I was just an agency worker, they sent us there for the first few months to see how determined we were to work, but there were people who'd worked in there for years, and some of them were genuinely insane.

# A friend of mine used to recruit for a chicken factory
the job was to hang chickens up by their necks on a sort of inverted conveyor belt which would carry them to a piece of razor wire which would quickly decapitate them.

On average people would last 3 or 4 days but one guy had been there for 8 years. Wouldn't want to see inside that guy's shed.
