      Just started my 2 week here in the PNW I’m loving it it makes me so proud when I know I’ve done a good job even if others don’t care to much it’s a hell of a lot better for my back than being a mover

    Believe me SCHOOL CUSTODIANS work hard , and are treated as if they are never doing their jobs right . I Thank all the school Teachers who have worked with their school Janitors to keep their schools clean , the beast Principals have been those evaluate you fairly .

    Thank you for this. I myself am a public school district custodian, and it is not the easiest. It is also the furthest from glamorous... But you gotta do what you gotta do. And, I'm not sure a majority of people even think of our job, we are kinda invisible. However, I will say My favorite part of my job is helping out and putting the teachers I clean for at ease. That part is really rewarding. 😄

    I work food service, I like to just do the job and keep to myself without the chit chat, I hope that my new custodial job allows me to work with few people and more independently

    It's not always the kids that are a problem. Superintendents, principals, and the head custodian, are usually huge problems.

    I was a custodian, until the school committee voted to outsource our department. It wasn't about saving money it was about stomping on the little guy and busting the union. This country is falling apart because of greed and nobody caring about the other guy. All you people in a position of power be careful what you wish for, not only are you hurting the custodians and their family you're hurting the kids and the community. It's for the kids right?

    What the guy said from 2:55-3:17 hit me right where I'm at right now. Lost a job driving a City Bus making good money. After I was terminated 2-3 other coworkers were also fired. It's no joke, some places don't have the job security anymore. They move you out for any little thing and bring someone else at half the pay minus the full time benefits.

    I've worked in several different schools and now at a university as a custodian. I work primarily 2nd shift occasionally on first shift and sometimes 3rd shift. It always seems like first shift is usually the easiest. Where I work at now most first shifts have about 3 hours worth of work to do in an eight hour shift. While second shift has at least a solid 6 hours worth of work and that's if your moving at a good pace. first shifters are lazy.

    The custodian pissed me off in High School, we would eat lunch outside and the wind would blow all the garbage to the corner of the courtyard we hung out at. The custodian thought we were just throwing our trash on the ground and banned us from eating outside.

    we should be the humble rock star to be happy . maybe that only makes sense to me . life is attitude including cleaning up after todays children. we have to chain the dumpsters so kids don't push them down the hill. to a kid that is funny . ok its funny to me too.

    Oh and Les (less than a man) i was a janitor from my late teens to my early 20s. Before i stopped being a looser and earned a REAL trade. no union needed. I have real skills. Men with real skills don't worry about job security.

    • @johnjarou2357
      @johnjarou2357 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      well it depends if you are an actual school employee or a contracted custodian. i was lucky enough to be hired by the school district in the md 70s, and we made a decent wage(it was a little over 17 dollars an hour when i retired 3 years ago) but unfortunately now most schools only use outside contracted custodians, and they pay them peanuts (8-9 dollars an hour). they have a very high turnover rate, because people aren't going to stick around if something better comes along, and i don't blame them!!

    I have no idea where else to go to ask a question to other custodians so here's my issue. I clean an elementary school alongside one other person, I go in 1 pm and I can do maybe 3 rooms before school is out. At 3 pm my partner comes in and we begin cleaning our classrooms, we have until 8 pm to clean the school and we just aren't able to for whatever reason we are always stuck there for an hour after our shift should have ended. I don't believe we spend too much time on our tasks, in fact I don't think we spend enough time with them. We get in trouble for being there late, but we also get into trouble if we don't get it finished. I have asked my boss what we might be doing wrong or what we could do different but she only compares us to her previous staff which does not help us. I do know that something is wrong when we almost never get to mop an entire classroom floor but we still can't get out by 8. Any advice out there? Thanks.

    All custodians if a wage freeze is asked, take it, because we do not want to see anyone lose their jobs! We MUST be together on this! The republicans then talk about gays as an entity! Gays are not the entity, it is over population! The bigotry needs to stop and now!
