6:30 am to 5:30 pm. Monday to Saturday but in the 3 weeks ive worked only had one day off so far. I work as a housekeeper actual job takes 4 hours at most. I have to be at the gate at 6 because the actual work site needs a shuttle to get to. Commute is 1 hour each way public transportation with lots of walking in hot humid sunny car centric tropical country. Fast transportation with no walking is 40% of daily wage. Normal commute averages around 15% of daily wage. Im legit tired from doing nothing I was given an office but its the pantry and bosses come and go. I don’t feel good using phone. Am 18 and I feel like Ill get judged for it. Literally incapable and feeling so shameful for being seen doing nothing even though bosses expect it. Workplace is for work. Cant study or do anything productive because I always feel like ill get busted for using my phone or doing anything but work.

I get hit on a lot by fellow coworkers its a construction site. Bosses are incredibly nice and lovely but im feeling burnt out. I have other options but im only 3 weeks in and its pay day at 15th. Pays decently (a bit above minimum) and has air conditioning but work takes place at 3 pm to 5 pm where its sunny and i have to lug around water for mop. Seeing signs of sun damage already.

Maybe im just asking permission to quit. I love the people and I love cleaning but the circumstances just doesn’t fit me i believe. Im incredibly introverted and there are just so many people and I feel like im just working and going to sleep. Maybe im just being ungrateful.

Only 3 weeks in. I used to LOVE it. Now im burning out. I dont mind physical hard work, I love it even. But thats not the problem I infact have none of that. There is so much nothing to do I always feel like im stuck in a waiting room waiting for something.

I work monday to Saturday from 7 to 5:30. 2 hours of break. Commute takes an hour each way but for the fast option I can spend around 20% of my daily wage on commute. I need to wake up at 3 am or else I will be late. Now ive been moved to officially 6:30 but i have to be at work at 6 or ill miss the shuttle and be late even though i got on work in time. There is no schedule for the shuttle.

I had no training. Im good at cleaning so I just cleaned but their schedules are different. For example I mop the rooms in different times because this boss prefers that. Im in a tropical country and the other day it reached 50 degrees CELSIUS. I have to lug the water around in the hot legit scorching sun because the offices are container rooms. The sun is exactly on the front where the door gets untouchable because it heats up that much.

I am expected to take out trash in the afternoon when theyve left. They leave at 4 pm and I start my rounds at 4 pm. However one boss leaves at either 3 or 4 and I used to go there in the afternoon but keep getting rejected to do my work because they’re in a meeting/important work. So i stopped going. Today I am told to come take the trash out and not to be asked to do it. Fine with me. I come to take it at 2 pm his specified time there is trash and dishes that might need washing but he isnt here so I have to go back at 3 pm before he locks the room.

Its really a small task but my mind just cannot let go. I need to do something to be distracted. Now all im doing is waiting. I dont like to use my phone at work cause i just feel its morally wrong. Im too sleepy to read a book. I always havw to interact with people too. And the men workers keep hitting on me. Im a housekeeper female and 18. I suspect im neurodivergent. My bosses are nice but there is just so much time at work. Id rather work a full 8 hours and get it over with than do nothing for a longer stretch of time and spend almost all my waking hours on going to work and being at work. Yes of course i havw time whwn I get home but its already late and im sleepy. The pay is a bit above minimum in my area and I have a nice “office” too. Its the kitchen and its within 4 walls yes but people keep coming and going and Im incredibly introverted I feel tired not from the job but the people interactions.

I sound incredibly ungrateful but I dont think this job is for me. Not the work it self i will always love cleaning but the circumstances around my work. This is the only time ive used reddit at work. Before when i had so much nothing I just kept re cleaning or looking out the window. I always feel like ill get busted for using my phone somehow.

Which one do you prefer and why? Hand hurts after sweeping and im tired of it 🥲 Dry mopping sounds the best option for me right now. A soft Asian broom and a rubber broom is goated too. But a dust mop ive never tried. Even looked up a large lint roller (reusable) earlier 😆

2 weeks in. Im a housekeeper for an office. 7:30 to 5:30 pm but im required to be there before 7. I chose this job because im actually good at it and thought thered be minimal human contact. Boy was I wrong. Im mortified. Its 8 pm and ive logged out hours ago but i still feel horrible. Ill have to meet my bosses too tomorrow. No ones fault but mine. Just didnt get out of the house on time. They were so kind to me as well. Im gonna get the boot soon i just know it

My time is 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. Im a housekeeper for offices. Today i arrived at 7:50 but im supposed to be there at 7:00 sharp or before because the site which i work on can only be acessed by a shuttle. Its a short distance, really walkable but people arent allowed to walk there. I arrived on the shuttle area at 7:20. You havw to call someone in for the shuttle. Shuttle arrived at 7:48.

The distance from house to work is okay. I have no excuse other than poor time management. The first two was because I was in a public vehicle and it takes a long route and has lots of stops.
This time i was just late because i didnt get out of the house on time. The worse thing is all of these are completely avoidable, my boss have even arranged their private service vehicle to come meet me. I only rode 2 times after I was late for the second time. After that it was their weekend and I didn’t come to the meet up place anymore because I jsut feel uncomfortable with it. Theyre my bosses and I ride in their car with them. I told it to one of my bosses that ill try a faster route and walk some of it. We had a miscommunication, they thought id be there and that my message was a one off.

They were so quiet to me today. I am not one to initiate conversation and it showed so much today. So quiet. Im gonna get the boot soon i just know it. They were so kind and ive clearly over welcomed my stay.

So much SWEAT. Its everywhere and never ends!!! My back, neck, forehead oh forehead, EVERY.WHERE.
How do you deal with it?

I worked from 10 am to 5 pm. I was stupid with my time and it looked like i barely did anything because it was already clean anyway. I just had to dust and mop.
But i cleaned the kitchen removed the grease on the stove cleaned the vent too. AND the walls
Ones with visible stain that is.
But i didnt being an acid so the limescale stuck it looks like i did nothing. Only noticeable part is kitchen. Rest of the house none. I feel like my employers are very disappointed ☹️

Was supposed to clean two houses. I am to go back because i took so long. Ill have a routine next time.
And bring a scrubber and vinegar.

I know they wont see it but the walls had yellow spots on them and i dusted the door and doorbell and on top of things. I handwashwd all of the hand rugs too and the dusty plastic cover coat but none of it will matter because they’re there for work and barely use those things.

First time doing a house clean.

I work as a cleaner. I finish early. We have lunch for 2 hours at 11:30 but I finish way before. I am very through with my cleaning and don’t slack at all its just that there is truly nothing to clean. I handle 6 rooms the 2 biggest are only used once a week. 2 rooms are so small i dust sweep mop take out trash in 50 minutes tops. 25 minutes each. 1 room is big but theres no mess at all. My room “office” is small too i finish in 15. They are a construction company i clean the offices of the engineers and the project is just starting so there are barely any furniture or people to clean up after. I also live in a tropical country and the other day it was 51c. I don’t clean from 11 til 4 because it gets too hot and again there is nothing to clean because i cleaned in the morning.
Even the “boss”’s office gets only cleaned once in thw morning because he goes home too early or just doesnt want me cleaning in the afternoon at all.

Im incredibly grateful for this job. But i have an LDR SO
coming to my country for a month to which i negotiated for them to only do 2 weeks tops. Im new so asking for a leave is not a good look at all and i think not possible as well.
I do not mind getting less pay, i get paid hourly.

My mother and i are both housekeepers with the same pay. She is 55. She does so much more than me taking care of a child along with managing a house hold and other chores her employer asks her to do. However mine is set. Just do this in these place nothing more nothing less. My time is free and i work only 2 hours out of 8. Plus she can clock out too since her job requires her to be a live in nanny/housekeeper. I will be quitting my job but i believe its for the best. Is this a possibility?

I clean offices i get paid minimum but the workload is so little I feel like I do less than what my wage offers. I realistically only work about 2 hours out of the 8 but my schedule is 7 am (and have to be there before) to 5:30. The workplace is a hazardous environment I cannot go to work without PPE and all staff must be driven to the location. So i get out of the site at around 6 realistically.

And then more commute to my house. We are given the opportunity to have accommodation on site but I refused because I need my own comfort space.

Im “overqualified” for the position but I love cleaning and its a rewarding job for me. Im also incredibly new (only a week in) but my partner visits in 2. Hes already taken all of his work leave for this trip and hes planned it to be 1 month long. 1 maybe 2 weeks here and another 3 weeks in a different country. I entered this new job because our relationship has been so rocky and I needed a job fast. Something I can quit easily, and I thought it was easy to quit this job because the turn over must be high. But theyve been so endlessly kind to me, I even have a place to stay thats air conditioned and they share food with me on lunch break. I even get a ride so I dont have to commute so much anymore and that (im not late) because I have been late two times already and they were kind to me.

To be honest money is not the issue for me. I just wanted a job thats near enough in my room and have the ability to give me a much needed daily routine. Before i even entered this job I already looked for a substitute to save face so that Im not just suddenly quitting. There is already one. But I also just love my job.

If i dont quit we will have such limited time to be physically be near each other. We have been in ldr for so long its such a loss to not be together when you can. But this place is so good i see myself doing it longer than intended.

The best solution Ive thought of is use the excuse of moving to a different job (its actually credible since i applied to a lot of jobs. I got this job offer first but i also heard back from another company but I can start at a later date. It is truly more in line with my interests which is gardening. My mother said she wanted to work here too since she’s feeling burn out from her job. And she loves cleaning and the workload is very little I believe she can manage so i can provide a substitute immediately.

I never planned on doing this job longer than a month. I thought itd be easy to quit. But they pay is so good compared to workload (1 or 2 actual work hours out of 8), the people are so kind and loving i actually feel like its family rather than a job. My free time and theyve expected this, is spent reading books I enjoy.

However a friend from another country is coming to my country in 2 weeks. They have already taken all of their work leave a year prior and complied it all to be a month to spend with me. Things have been rocky so I never expected it to actually come true but theyre coming and im also just new at my job. But i love it so much theres no way im gonna just burn bridges and quit.

I thought of suggesting part time. Twice or even once a week of cleaning is legitimately the only thing needed to be done. I am not needed at all anyway, just need the trash taken out and some sweeping here and there.

What can i do?

Incredibly new at this job im a cleaning crew and I already made a mistake. Wanted to throw it before shift ends cause its wet and trying to save trashbags since its in an office and not really a lot of trash. But it was already time to go home and I forgot about it completely. Only remembered now. They’re definitely gonna see it because they have accommodations there and the coffee pot is in the pantry. No excuse other than I forgot. My reputation is gonna plummet and theyre gonna think its dirty/gross now. Im gonna get fired in my extremely nice job with extremely nice coworkers who treat me like family. Im gonna get fired instead of the graceful exit ive planned because im extremely new and theyre dtill interviewing other workers. Cant go early tomorrow too to remove it. Theyre gonna see it at night anyways.

TL;DR: Im a Cleaner and I forgot to clean the coffee pot at my new job. Im gonna get fired
