I think you must not try to translate literally a phrase from spanish to english because obviously they are not going to make sense. When I started to study english I also tried to do that and I also was puzzled. All languages are different and it is not a good idea to compare your language with another one. You have to learn it just as it is.

Ayer me presenté en una empresa y me dieron pega!

En Argentina la palabra para chamba es laburo.

Además en Chile a los trabajos esporádicos les llamamos pololos. Pololo también tiene otro significado en el español chileno, este es el de pareja, ya que a este o a esta le llamas polola o pololo.
