I'm a custodian at an elementary school. Can confirm, many people dont realize our value. Many think we do this job because it's all we can do. Nah fam, I do it because I love the work, the positive impact on the kids, and it encompasses using so many of the skills i learned in other industries.
At our (rural village) high school, every time the the janitor showed up in the cafeteria people would literally clap and cheer. He was also the town preacher? Villages man...
Yeah, people are pretty messed up. Our apartment building has a cleaning lady and she gets so little respect. When my dog was a puppy, she would have a couple accidents in the elevator, or in the lobby and when that happened I would clean up after her. One time one of my neighbors saw me clean elevator with bleach, and she asked me why don’t I just leave it for the cleaning lady. First of all, it’s my dog and my responsibility to clean up after her. Second, the building was cleaned that morning, and the next time it would be cleaned is in three days. It would stink. It’s unhygienic. And you have to respect that person’s hard work. If you leave that kind of mess for someone else to clean after you, it only shows what kind of person you are.
