I am hardware developer and certified electrician as a hobby. I have regularly clients that are buying time while I do really simple things on the property. It’s really cringe to be asked to vacuum their dirt for couple hours. I am paid premium while the clients watch Netflix and later whine about running out of money. I tried politely ask to do rudimentary things by themselves, but it never worked out. I grew in poverty and have hard time understanding this.
My parents buy groceries delivery what is really useful and time saving on other hand. House cleaner is difficult topic, they do seldom a good job even when offered more money. Typical example: there is dirt under edges of carpet after vacuuming.
- nxm 10mo agoSeparately, what is a certified electrician - are you licensed in your state?
- lnsru 10mo agoYes. Not only that, but I can work with electricity meters and put seals. It’s in Germany and very complicated and best unemployment insurance I could find.

This really bothered me when I was in social situations with college students who would alternate between bragging about how much they spent on DoorDash and complaining about how they’re always struggling with money. It was only a handful of people out of a larger group of mostly rational students, but it drove me crazy.
- officehero 10mo agoThis is a core reason for my own burnout - why should I work for a culture that seemingly promotes lazy/hypocritical behavior? Reminds me of "Idiocracy" or "burn after reading" the "league of morons"
- DrPimienta 10mo agoHello, I am a little confused about your post. Why are they having you vacuum things if you are an electrician?
- lnsru 10mo agoI am asked to do that. You’ll never say “no” to a client when you are paid hourly.
