They got paid 2k just for that one house which took them 1 entire day to clean.
Mid 2000's the company I was working for had to do some work at a government housing residence of a similar caliber, floor was a couple of feet off the ground, but literally every square inch of the ground under the house was covered in dirty nappies and rubbish, that bad that you could smell it halfway to the fence.

Boss rang whoever he had to and told them they needed to get cleaners in then told us to get off site.

We didnt go back for that job.

I cant say I've had any "nasty" jobs, had some that were regularly physically exhausting with long hours, a couple of companies that have left a very sour taste in my mouth, but thankfully nothing that would be considered nasty.
