My boss is dick.
I’m from the UK. So I’m a cleaner and I clean 3 buildings a day all of which are huge. They are 3 stories high and rather long. And contain around 200 people each building.
So my to do lists in these buildings everyday is:
- deep cleaning of toilets and kitchens also replenishing of toilet rolls, hand paper towels and soap
-bins
-hoovering
-dusting edges, ledges, desks and pretty much everything
-cleaning of peoples chair legs
-decobwebbing
-filling out sheets to say Iv done the jobs (even though it doesn’t back you up at all if there’s a complaint)
- covering other cleaners buildings if needed.
-touch points in all buildings because of covid so cleaning doors, handles, window handles, printers, desk phones etc etc...
That’s just the main things I have to do. So my boss seems to think I have plenty of time to do everything in that list in the 9 hours I’m in work. I have half an hour lunch break and that’s it. If I’m caught say down I get warning. I get 18 days holiday a year (have to keep 3days out of it for Christmas). No sick pay at all. If we catch covid from being at work we get the statutory sick pay which equals £95 a week. Oh I work on my own by the way and never get any help for anything, the equipment we use isn’t up to proper standards to do the job properly either. My boss absolutely hates it if you stick up for yourself to her and tell her that you don’t have time or equipment. I get £9.50 an hour which includes a 50p an hour bonus if no complaints and if you get a complaint no matter how small they take the 50p bonus for the whole month. I know at this point it sounds as if I’m moaning but she only seems to pick on the girls, the bloke cleaners can get away with murder with her. Basically she’s always ready to give you shit. Iv gotten to the point where I now keep a log book of everything I do in a day so that if things get too desperate then I can take it to HR. But she’s really good friends with the HR lady so doubt it would do much. Also with holiday she’s very strict on when you can use it, has to be on her terms. If you’re incredibly sick she makes you feel guilty about it and when you come back she’s got a stack full of shit to give you.
What’s your opinions on this? Do you have any advice that can help me please?
