Shit job 

An unfulfilling, tedious waste of 8+ hours of the day, five days of the week, that you only persist with in order to pay the bills and the ever mounting debt that comes from having to increase your spending in order to entertain yourself outside of working hours as you are so brain dead from the hours you spend in work.

Websites such as www.urbandictionary.com are becoming increasingly popular because there are so many people out there who are either in a shit job and have nothing better to do or have had a shit job which they have quit/been fired from and are now sitting around not working as they don't want to get another shit job.

Shit catcher job 

When your job is primarily to solve problems caused by someone else, and the likelihood of being chewed out for mistakes by your seniors is high. Especially if dealing with those problems usually avoided by others not in the profession.

Shit catcher jobs include police and military, many IT jobs, healthcare workers and many blue collar jobs.

Shit catcher is usually the role of a semi-autonomous worker or low level manager assigned to solve problems in the field.

Your job is to fix other people’s problems but you’re also there to take the blame when things go wrong.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.
