First off, I don’t hate my job COMPLETELY. I like that it has fixed hours and it’s not minimum wage. But . . .
Why the #%&@# can't they hire a #*&#*#^ JANITOR!!! Why does it have to be MY JOB to do everything I’m supposed to, and then at the end of the day, JUST when I’m getting ready to leave, my boss comes back and says, “Could you sweep up around here? This place is filthy.” It’s a fairly big place, too. I wanted to say, “Why don’t you do it, and when you’re done, take the broomstick and shove it until you can only see the bristles.” But I didn’t. I REALLY wanted to say that. I get ordered around by EVERYONE, and I do what he said I’d have to when I applied. No disrespect to anyone who IS a janitor, that’s just not what I’M SUPPOSED to be getting paid for. @&$@#&
Go easy on me, it’s my first time in the pit.
LOL. Reminds me of being back in the Army…
How about making a list of supplies and equipment you’ll need to do the job right? A good vacuum cleaner, buckets, sponges, brushes, liquid and powder cleaners, a squeegee, maybe a uniform to protect your good clothes?
I don’t mean to pee in your Post Toasties (nice rant, by the way) but if I’ve got the time, I don’t have a problem cleaning things up where I work. I’ve washed windows and desks, emptied trash and recycling bins, even washed down walls covered in coffee splatters.
I figure I get paid the same regardless of what I’m doing. And I hate to work in a pit.
Have you asked why there’s no official cleaning person? Do you suppose your boss did it before he got you? Are you doing this on “your” time? You’re too nice. Wanna come work with me? We don’t take advantage of people. ::muffled giggle, snort::
