It depends on what you mean by "Bad Job."

Do you mean terrible career/employment opportunity, like Repo Man, or do you mean a heist job or a bank job that goes horribly awry ala Reservoir Dogs or Heat?

I suppose the obvious one is Clerks. I think that one should be off limits.

Not to dumb down this topic, but I'll throw The Devil Wears Prada out there.

Maybe its my tender psyche, but there's no way I could handle that amount of on-the-job beratement.
