Basically I’ve gone back to work part time to work it around the kids . I’ve got a job as a cleaner in a highschool . Scheduled for 2 .5 hrs an evening , however they like talking and the supervisor wants to get away on time so it’s usually around 2 hrs cleaning time I get.
my ex husband works as the care taker there , and has said that no one wants to do PE block / and this new cabin classroom & seperate office they have built because it’s gross . Anyway guess what I got , yep both them buildings . I am also a lone worker , where I’ve noticed the others have partners / and they have about an hour extra due to starting earlier but I cannot due to having to wait for my husband to get home first.
I am expected to sweep the big gym hall , sweep & wash the corridors & both boys & girls changing rooms plus 2 staff changing rooms. Hoover 3 offices & dust . Empty 8 bins. Dust and de cob web the changing rooms & corridor . Bleach the toilets . Plus wipe down every touch point . And do the same in this cabin. Put 30 chairs on the table . Wipe down every desk & side . Clean the windows . And then do the same to the office next to it . Sweep and mop both rooms. The changing rooms & gym especially are huge rooms to sweep , dust pan and brush it and then mop . I had blisters on my hands friday from going so quick . The pe block also has rentals in it after school so I have to work my cleaning around them using the changing rooms / gym hall which again doesn’t give me enough time. If I had another pair of hands yes it would still be a rush but whilst I’m having to sweep & mop at least they could be wiping things down & doing the bins. I am just dripping with sweat every night my clothes are soaked, I am working so hard and yet the others just seem to be fine at the end of the shift .
It’s actually marked down to do decobweb / dust / glass weekly but last week it was such a mess they said I had to do it every day however even if I didn’t do it and stuck to weekly , I still have to sweep and mop every thing every day and even if I go full pelt I’m still not getting it done . I feel like im failing at it , I used to work as self employed cleaner before so I know how to clean but obviously doing it on a larger scale is different.
anyway I just want to know what is the norm because it feels literally impossible to get it all done.
