Title says it all if TLDR
I currently work as a janitor for public school buildings. One for central office and the other is a computer tech building.
As I was cleaning the halls at central office, I overheard the director say “nobody wants to fucking work anymore” so I kind of rolled my eyes and continued doing my job. Then I hear “we can’t keep custodians at all!”
First of all, of course you guys can’t fucking keep custodians. You know what the pay for custodial work at the public schools was before the pandemic? $11 an hour
You wanna know what it is as of today? $12 an hour
Who the fuck wants to clean toilets for $12 an hour? Who wants to deal with getting chewed out because one specific office worker “didn’t want her trash taken out” or “nobody cleaned the building this day!” Yeah because I used a VACATION DAY?!?!
The entire public school went from having 30 custodians down to 10 because $12 an hour isn’t liveable anymore
Luckily I found a WFH job that pays a little more and I have a lot of savings. So I’ll be good for now
But I’m just saying, FUCK THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM HERE. Pay your fucking custodians more
