"So it's driven home to me daily that the world terribly undervalues quiet maintenance type work."
I always think about how little the cleaners at a company are paid. In a sense they keep the whole thing running but they get sooo little respect.
- DoreenMichele 8y agoOne of the reasons I ultimately quit my corporate job: during the recession, they cut back on janitorial to save money. I was taking my own trash out of my cubicle every other day because I have a compromised immune system and it makes me too sick to work to leave trash there for two days. I wonder how much productivity went down because of this one decision without anyone but me seeing any connection whatsoever.
