Yes we wear gloves and are careful when we do our job but please please please if you break something like a mirror or glass or ceramics please do not just chuck it loose into the garbage. Wrap it up in newspaper or something first. Not only does it end up cutting the garbage bags and causing a hassle for the people that have to deal with it, but those people can seriously cut themselves on the loose fragments. Like I did today, I’m pretty sure it’s infected. Please be courteous and wrap up anything sharp, it only takes a few minutes.—Cleaner

Sound advice. My ex-roommate broke a picture frame and instead of putting the broken glass in the trash, she put it on the table under a page of newspaper, so when I sat down I cut my forearm. I sent the silly bitch packing….there were other incidents of blondism before this.
i used to work for a.b.c. years back, and could tell you some dandy fucking stories. not only about the clients, but the supervisors too. half these people working in cleaning, have no fucking clue at all. or if they do, want more than the company will pay them. i had 6 years there, and would never work for that outfit if i was fucking starving to death.
‘sebastian_’, you had a ROOMMATE? I thought you would be too good for a roommate and have a nice mansion on the Arm all to yourself, with your own private automobile, of course.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA q, you’re *awesome*
That really sucks, OP. I hope it clears up soon.
I have a friend who was too lazy to throw her insulin needle tips in a sharps container and would throw them in the garbage and was all “well I put the cap back on”…i was so disgusted by that response because if the cap came off and a sanitation worker stabbed themselves with it they don’t know if you have some infectious disease or not — and even if you don’t, I wouldn’t wish that kind of worry on anyone. Your bitch just reminded me of this, OP.
I’d say this bitch is probably one of the most valid bitches I’ve read on here.
That was many years ago qpmzwonxeibcruv during my days studying at Dal. She was an NSCAD student and since I signed the lease, I kicked her out. Last time I heard she was working at the arts supply store on Barrington no doubt stabbing people with sharp objects.
And you’re still a pretentious cigarette. Go figure.
LIFE SUCKS. My wife worked for them too. Oh the stories she would tell me.
Better yet – put it in a box and tape it shut – that way noone gets sliced.
si, senor, it still is the same. the people at the big office don’t know or even do jack shit. and the ones that i knew there only came in to put hours in. didn’t take a bit of pride in nothing. when i first started, they were on the verge of losing the contract, with purdys wharf, thru o&y. i left shortly after great west life took over. i liked it there, but very few of them pulled their weight. that’s the main reason i left. i figured that if i was doing 3-4 people’s work, besides my own, then i should at least be compensated for 2 people. just too fucking cheap, they had to get three people to do my jobs, after i left. where is the fucking sense in that one hey?
I have to get after our cleaner to put broken glass in a box and tape it up, he’s the worst offender for just dumping it into the garbage bag! 😉 He’s a good guy though, best cleaner we’ve had in ages.
