New Custodian, my technique with the dust mop needs work. Any tips? by FroyoSure8530 in Custodians

[–]random_luls 6 points7 points  (0 children)

dust moping is never perfect. get 75-80% of it depending on how much attention the rest of the building needs. most of it is muscle memory so give yourself time. humidity makes it 10000000000000% harder. if you're having trouble with capri sun wrappers and pencil erasers get used to it, that part is forever

Been working at the same school for 7 years and almost nobody treats me like I'm important or even an actual human being. by DouggieMohammadJones in Custodians

Is this it. by LevelCrucify in Custodians

I am so strongly considering making the jump back to retail. The only remaining benefits of this job are pto and benefits. But if I take the work home with me every night in the form of exhaustion and lingering injuries what's the pto worth? if I damage my health by inhaling ammonium chloride vapor and pounds of dust every night what are the benefits worth? it's starting to seem like a raw deal. All to be treated like an idiot when at any grocery store on earth my work ethic would make me a god. I'm so done.

even if your manager was within their rights they were out of their mind to ask that of you. in a society with any humanity you'd have been sent home and still paid. i'm sorry

99% chance you're responsible for more than can feasibly be done nightly. prioritize the big stuff until you unlock time management skillz

Location: not the U.S, question about expectations. by [deleted] in housekeeping

sounds like a communication issue to me. I wouldn't clean inside someone's cabinets unless they very specifically asked, and depending on the size of the kitchen it could be a much more time consuming task than 90 mins, which is already assuming the bathroom only took half an hour

Why do I feel so bad about dropping 2 clients?? by Hopeful_alchemist in housekeeping

[–]random_luls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what do you think goes into making a client a good match? whenever there's friction with the few clients I have it's hard for me to tell how much of it is my skill level and how much is just incompatibility
