How many times have they saved your life in a crunch ?

Let’s talk about the unsung heroes of our schooling lives and beyond — the Officeworks copy and print workers.

If you haven’t paid them a visit before, they’re the people that spiral bind 50-page assignments on the morning it’s due, and print your vision board photos at 9pm. They’re always under the pump and constantly have a line of people waiting to bother them.

According to the hosts ofThe Kick It Forwardpodcast, this is the hardest job in Australia.

Kick It Forwardmember Josh Garlepp made a case for the profession after witnessing the patience and kindness of an employee while they served an older woman at his local Officeworks.

Their A1 multitasking skills were also praised.

" There ’s 15 fucking people in line . All of them in all likelihood do n’t acknowledge what a PDF is and what a PNG [ does ] , let alone a JPEG . They ’re lining up for these Job that probably total 19 cents or some darn and the person behind the counter [ at Officeworks ] is fielding all these head and at the same time there ’s about 20 dissimilar ego - serve figurer there , " Josh raved .

Not everyone agreed with the positive reviews from the hosts. Some commenters on a TikTok snippet of the episode even made suggestions about what the ACTUAL hardest job in Australia is.

Another said that being a bartender was pretty tough too.
