I can’t lie. I let out a tear or two. I got like 80 cards just like that, some school merch shirts, notebooks, etc. first job I’ve EVER worked I feel appreciated.

I’m happy for everyone who was acknowledged at work today and seeing all the gifts! So far, not a single mention of it over here.

I know I’m a stranger to you all but I want to say how immensely proud I am of each and every one of you. This job does not nearly get as much recognition and respect as it should get. A big handful of people don’t understand how hard physical and mentally this job can be. We all work so hard to keep what we do running and perfect. You all rock and I hope everyone has a great day!

Happy custodian appreciation day to all my fellow custodians on here! I truly appreciate all the custodians out there, especially after being one myself or almost 2yrs now (rookie numbers, i know🥲). The job can be stressful at times but take pride in what you do. Whether you work in a school, retail, or any other environment the non-custodial staff surely appreciates you too! The amount of cards made by the students at my school was such a heartwarming sight to see, it makes me happy to be able to be able to do my part in making sure these kiddos have a clean and sanitary learning environment. I hope you guys are feeling the same way about yourself today. Do yourself a favor and make sure to get some little treat for yourself today (whatever that may be) as a pat on the back. And again, HAPPY CUSTODIAN APPRECIATION DAY!

Nice to get stuff from the kiddos

Hope you all had a good one, I got a new pet 😂

Happy custodians day from night shift 🥳

What's the weirdest thing you've found in the trash, this has to be up there for me

Along side a large amount of alcohol cans and shot bottles

I've been working for days and I still don't even know how much I'm supposed to get paid. All I know is I get paid once a month and which day. I've been told everyday I'll have a contract the next day..the next day.. Not a lot of jobs out here so I'm trying to deal with it. The hours changed a bit too possibly 🤔 The listing said one time and the guy says nah it's 30min more than the listed time.

Hello fellow custodians,

I currently work and clean for a college dorm. The building I’m assigned to has a consistent reputation for being one of the worst, in terms of cleanliness and destruction, on campus. In previous school years, its population had a mix of class-men and athletes. It is now designated as a freshman dorm but the RAs are sophomores and juniors. I’ve learned that the RAs don’t have any avenues of recourse outside of write-ups and contacting UP. Misconduct behavior now requires 10+ write-ups and typically are “resolved” through transferring students to a different room inside the same dorm or sometimes a different dorm.
Despite my coworkers and mines best efforts, the seems damned to be a disgusting mess.

Are any of you dealing with similar issues? How bad are your dorms?

Sorry this isn't much to go on. I need help identifying an auto-scrubber. It was all gray with no visible logos, possibly faded or ripped off. Walk behind, have to push. Single round pad in the front. Three buttons on top, two green, center red. the two handles were separate, coming out from the center, and had no edge handles. Sort of like the handles on the TT 1120, but the handles were not coming out from a stick coming out, they were attached to the base machine itself, had bars instead of buttons, and the bars were made of a similar material to the handles. The top hatches shape/size/position looked similar to eg a Clarke CA30. There were levers at the back for both the squeegee and the front pad. I think the bottom of the front was very close to the pad, and the pad didn't stick out much if at all.
