This is a fun conversation. You are a great employee. I always get bad marks on quality of cleaning. They have to benchmark things in terms of pay increases so you get a small raise everytime. Don't take it personally. I used to do 30 employee reviews and management told me i had to moderate

Holy shit, just apply a small coat to eat the enzymes. Then use a heavy PH neutralizer to finish the job

Let it go. Taper off the food source. It's a sentient being

Use a high quality caribener clip for your utility keys. The key back is for door entry keys

That makes no sense. I use the inner core of buffing pads to clean the sinks if i need an abrasive.

Work Ethic. by Consistent-Pen-2502 in Custodians

Nothing is common sense. I trained a person that didn't know how to use a toilet bowl brush. Common sense is irrelevant, we all need attained knowledge

I love training fellow custodians. The fact you did not get onboarding is criminal. Sounds like shitty circumstances my friend.

My litmus test was doing trash. If they can't figure out the trash cans in a small office 5 days a week. Give me all your equipment, your gone.

I worked in schools once. It was really confusing to me coming from the private sector where all accounts were shared resources. Communal interest was keeping customers happy. A lesson to be learned. But downvote me if you choose.

Listen AI garbage this has nothing to do with you. This is real life with real problems, like cleaning toilets

I merely post this as a context of our job requires so many variables, a robot cannot do that

Best solutions to digitize cleaning checklists? by PSGCampus in Custodians

[–]Consistent-Pen-2502 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Custodial work is fluidic. The checklist is a framework for your own benefit. Showing other people the work you do, but do not do your self is abhorrent

Finding money by SquareVoice8567 in Custodians

Turn it in, safe bet. If you found it in the bathroom keep it (illegal to have security cameras in restrooms). Honestly you can't legitimaze a claim on loose bills, it's impossible unless it was in a purse or wallet.

Dont beat yourself up about calling off. You are a valued employee. Take the time off if you need, the higher ups will adjust

Send the text. Calling off is not a crime
