Is it worth or allowed asking to wear earphones as a cleaner?
I've been working as a morning cleaner for the past week. I'm autistic and this is my first job in over a year, I don't have a lot of work experience and am very socially awkward and uncomfortable. I find myself completing tasks just fine but I feel pressured by other cleaners to get stuff done by a certain time and in a certain way. I've been feeling easily overwhelmed and feel like listening to music while working would help ease my mind and help me stay calm. I work 7-9 in the morning and am aware that customers come in when we open from 8am but I don't have much experience in asking for accommodations like this and I don't want to burden anybody. I already feel like I'm not doing the job good enough based on how some cleaners are with me sometimes. Just wondering if there were any autistic employees who have asked for certain accommodations, thank you!
