At work. Was looking forward to an easy, predictable day but when I got in in the morning my boss informed me I would be scrubbing all the restroom floors on the first floor. 8 of them, two big, two medium, and four small. My heart sank, it’s a bit of work to use the Imop machine that scrubs floors. For about a minute I was depressed and all the energy went out of me but I pulled myself together and did all the floors and even finished early and got off work early. Yeah, this was the first time I really, really did not want to do something they asked of me.
What’s involved in using the Imop machine? Dont you just fill it with water and push it around then empty it afterwards?
I’m sorry man, that’s not a fun shift at all. Good on ya for pulling through.
@Pik5Me public restrooms typically have regular cleaning schedules because of the amount of use they get. Janitorial staff are so important to maintaining professional looking office buildings and their hard work is appreciated by other employees who work in those buildings.
There is nothing undigified about what @77nick77 does.
There’s a little more to it than that.
So professional janitors have different types of work, perhaps in a more mature setting?
I know that the work I was asked to do was definitely undignified, but that was of a different job type. Perhaps what I imagine the work of janitors to be is different from what I experienced personally. I tend to jump onto my own biased experience and turn it into wide ranging assumptions, which may not be true.
In any case I am not trying to offend people, if what you do as work has value to you, then do the work that suits your work ethics. There is nothing wrong with that.
It is admiring that anyone here can hold a job at all, much less live independently.
I will delete my previous comment, I almost have PTSD from my previous job, so I reacted poorly in my response.
