There’s no such thing as an easy job. Whether you’re a teacher, garbage collector, or an IT expert, you’ll find your job hard. At times, it can even make you feel drained, unhappy, and even anxious. Job burnout is real, too. And the worst thing about it is its effect on your overall health.
If you are feeling depleted and unable to cope, know that you aren’t alone. Check out these 28 people and photos of their hard jobs.
1. Being a doctor
Let’s not ignore the sacrifices health workers make to keep all of us safe. Ten hours of wearing a full PPE and gloves isn’t easy.
This is the hand of a doctor after removing his medical precautionary suit and gloves after 10 hours of duty.

2. Mom’s work
This mom must be great at Tetris. Just look at how she assembled everything. She’s clearly a pro when it comes to the game.
My mom works at Amazon and she sent me a photo of one of the trucks she loaded. from r/oddlysatisfying
3. From a college professor
“We don’t actually read your entire answer. Most of us don’t.” – Reddit- Revolutionary Buddha
Consider this when answering exams. You’re lucky if your professor is one of them. If not,
4. A stack of hotel key cards
This person must be lucky. Some hotels charge people for not giving them back.
5. Poor teddy bear
The room wasn’t just dirty. You see, it was a witness to a case of domestic violence. Apparently, a man got drunk and freaked out. He attacked the wife and created a mess in the room.
I work at a hotel these days and went to see if a room was mislabeled as dirty, this is what I found. from r/trashy
6. Not an easy work
Trash men’s work isn’t easy. They’re exposed to waste products and harsh weather conditions. Always be nice to them.
Be nice to your trash man when it’s raining and it’s 30 degrees outside. We are not invincible. This is my hand after working 4 hours in that weather. (We ha to stop for new gloves otherwise I probably woulda got frost bite) from r/pics
7. From someone who works with children
“Young kids talk to their teachers/coaches/counselors/principals about their parents. A lot. And kids pick up on all the dirty little secrets.” – Reddit – MineralWaterMike
Parents should be more careful when around kids. Apart from that they’re able to pick up their dirty little secrets, kids may end up learning from them and even doing the same things when they grow a bit older.
8. After a private screening
The next time you think about creating a mess in a movie house, think about this picture and the people whose job is to clean up the place. Don’t make their job a lot harder than it already is.
9. Like a scene from a movie
This job is definitely not for people who are afraid of heights. It can easily make them pass out or even panic. The view is great, tho.
10. From someone who writes instruction manuals
“You know the people who write instruction manuals or user guides for things you buy?
Half the time, they’ve never even seen or touched the product. Some dude just sends us pictures, a rough description of how it’s supposed to work, and that’s it.” – Reddit – katakago
So this is why some manuals don’t make sense! The next time you encounter something similar, don’t blame yourself. It’s the writer’s fault.
11. From an x-ray technician
“When we take X-rays of your pelvis, we can see your penis. And we can see your labial folds.” – Reddit – Givemetheformuol
Well, they’ve seen a lot. They probably no longer mind all the things they see on a daily basis.
12. The break room
The place might be small but it has everything he needs in a break room. It’s just hard to tell if he’s able to get a “break” from work when he’s in there.
13. From someone who works in charities and fundraising events
“Those “Donate now and your donation will be double/triple/quadruple matched” or “We only need 10 more donors/$5,000 more from your zip code” emails are all lies. But they work, so we keep sending them.” – Reddit – adeiner
This is a huge problem. How can people trust them anymore?
14. A pretty chill job
He does inventory for the frozen food department. He doesn’t feel any side effects as long he’s properly layered up.
15. When you’re bored in the office
He’s quite patient, right? Apart from patiently removing staple wires, he managed to keep all of the pieces he was able to remove in one year. I wonder what he’ll do with them.
16. A fan
This man’s super lucky. He managed to get a picture with a superstar.
I work in the film industry and I’m usually too shy to ask for a picture with an actor, but I had to get one with this little guy. from r/pics
17. Time for a change
It’s hard to say if this broom is still capable of doing its job. It already looks damaged. Maybe this employee should consider telling the owner that it’s ‘broken’.
I work in a fast food restaurant, and this is our broom. My boss says it’s too expensive to replace it, yet he drives a Lincoln. from r/pics
18. A visual representation of a customer
This is a creative way to ease stress at work. With that picture, this person will have someone to argue with after the call.
I work at a call center. Whenever I get a particularly rude caller, I like to draw what they might look like. Here’s Lorraine from today: from r/funny
19. From a teacher
“Teachers shit talk students as much as students do. Don’t get me wrong, we love you and want to see you succeed. But y’all are some assholes.” – Reddit – Anotheroad
They are humans, too. They are entitled to their own opinions.
20. From someone in tech:
“Have you ever started filling out a form on a website and then changed your mind and said, “Nah, I don’t want to give them my personal information,” and then abandoned the form before pressing “submit”?
If you think that stopped them from getting your personal information, it didn’t. Most companies looking to capture leads will capture your info in real time as you enter it into a form. The “submit” button is just there to move you to the next step, not to actually send your information to the company.” – Reddit – phpdevster
This is why you always have to check if the form your filling up online is true and safe. There’s no taking back your data once it’s on the internet.
21. The view
Driving for long hours isn’t great all the time. Fortunately, some drivers get to experience nice views on the way. It helps make their job a bit entertaining.
22. A clever way to carry a watch in the field
That watch right there has been to great places many times. Honestly, the brand should consider sponsoring the man. He’s strongly flexing their watch.
[Seiko SKX007] My polar guiding watch, in the field. I work in the Arctic and Antarctic and find it much more convenient to wear my watch on a lanyard than on my wrist because of all of the layers I wear. This watch has been to Antarctica countless times and to the Geographic North Pole 12 times. from r/Watches
23. From a fast food worker
“I’ve worked in fast food, and it is a sad reality that many workers will come to work sick, because they can’t afford to lose wages. One year, the flu was going around town, and I think our restaurant was ground zero.” – Reddit – Tiredoldroutine
This is one good reason why you should consider not eating out these days. You’ll never know what you can get from ordering food from restaurants during a pandemic.
24. From a librarian
“Sometimes librarians read the new books before registering them in the catalogue for the public. *Evil laughter.*” – Reddit- ashesthenpoenix
25. A professional princess
This lady is living every little girl’s dream. And apart from being a princess, she also has a really adorable cat to make sure she’s doing an awesome job.
I work as a professional princess on weekends. My kitty insists on inspecting each costume for detail accuracy. from r/aww
26. A tub full of cards
Believe it or not, the number of cards in the tub was estimated to be around 90,000. I wonder why the owner left them behind. And most importantly, why did he leave them in the tub? Your guess is probably just as good as mine.
27. At a cat shelter
The woman and her partner had no say. The cat picked them already and there’s really nothing they could do about it.
I work at a cat shelter. These are the “can we keep him?” photos I sent to my partner. It worked. from r/aww
28. From an airline worker
“Let’s just say if your bag is in transit from the belt to the aircraft (or visa versa) and it falls out of the bag cart because we have crappy transportation equipment, that bag will most of the time sit on the road for hours (rain or shine) before it is picked up and sent on another flight to the same destination.
Also, yes bags are thrown, and not a damn supervisor cares unless it’s slammed with a purpose like a wrestling move or something. – Reddit – tecmusic
This is probably one of the reasons why some of our items end up broken or damaged when we get home. It’s sad how some of them treat other people’s valuables with no respect.
