I am a boss in a big company and I have too many responsibilities and problems. I see every day how clean the cleaners are, they are not in a hurry, they are not bothered by complicated cases, they do not have to sit in front of the computer for hours. I'm starting to envy them. Especially one. He comes a few hours after me and leaves a few hours before me. I thought of becoming a cleaner myself, but how will my relatives, colleagues, subordinates accept it? And the money will be small. However, I will be calm, I clean up and leave. I like to clean. It is not difficult. There is movement, it is useful and it makes sense. Why do people disregard the work of cleaners as a shameful profession? What's wrong with cleaning offices or houses? I have two senior and solid internships behind me, but I'm starting to realize how pointless everything is when I don't have peace of mind and time. Would it be a mistake to become a cleaner?

The most important thing at work is to like it, or at least most of the time. You must be taking more money and you are used to a certain standard. It is seen so simply because everyone can do it and you do not want to be very learned.
Come on, get up. Let's see how you roar in 2 months.
I was an architect in Bulgaria. I am now 30 and I have been a fellow citizen abroad for 4 years. My soul opened here. I work 8 hours a day and Saturday and Sunday hat on a stick. Career was created as a concept to attract smart people and make them slaves to the system, because most of them stubbornly resist media manipulation. Of course, in order to "dump" everything, you want to suppress your ego, which I don't feel like you have done yet.
You're not well !!!
It seems to me that you hate not only your work, but yourself and your life. Until you rethink your priorities, whatever work you start, you will be unhappy.
I am abroad. One Bulgarian woman worked in Bulgaria in offices only. Stress tension and now clean here. She drives a new car, she is calm and says, if I want stress I return to Bulgaria and start again in the office. I want peace. People around the world do not discriminate. My friend a law firm employee, not a lawyer now has a second baby. Since she is not entitled to maternity leave for the first time, she now receives money again, but since her husband has been at work since 12 noon, she cleans in the morning to a company and says she is satisfied. And as the children get older, he will work in the office again. There is no shameful work. It is important to be calm and do what you like.
I think I understand what you're saying. My job is very hard but well paid, and I adore it. However, if I couldn't do it, I thought I would just be a saleswoman in a shop, in a mall, smelling good, people coming, talking to them casually. To be beautiful around me, not to be burdened. There is nothing wrong with bringing peace of mind.
The neglect comes from the fact that you call them cleaners, and they are actually hygienic. Only in a poor country like ours are many positions shameful. In more advanced countries, office hygienists are considered the ears and eyes of the company. Those who take care of home comfort are very, very valuable - they teach us discipline ... but this cannot be understood by an average muffin in a super leadership position.
There is no shameful job. It's a shame to be lazy and wait for everything to be ready. If you're ready and think it's worth working for less money, go ahead. If your loved ones love you and want you to be happy, they will accept your decision. Although I do not know people with two higher educations in management positions who dream of cleaning ... I am sure that the responsibility to be a boss is great. But on the other hand, not everyone can and wants to be a leader. Talk to your loved ones and understand their opinion. Say it's just an idea at the moment. Lina 32
Unbelievable, but I think the same. My situation is identical. The thing is that the money is much less and I have to deprive myself and my family of many things we are used to. I have been facing a dilemma for 2 years now and I do not have the courage.
It's not easy for them either, but you're right about one thing - why bother about one office job. The fact is that especially in large companies they treat like an animal. I work in an accounting department and it's not physically hard work, but constantly someone reminds you of deadlines and deadlines. How long is it going to be like this? I try to drive it yavash-yavash, because it's not worth getting sick because of someone's sick ambitions, especially since in these companies you are not a person, but another number. I am currently studying to be a graphic and web designer and will be looking for a job in a smaller advertising agency, for example.
I do it now during my studies. I don't feel bad, it's not always so calm, but I don't complain. You are careful not to miss anything, you try to behave well with everyone and you do your job like a ninja, so as not to interfere with those with a serious profession in the office. I work part-time, my salary depends on many things, but I do not work to pay bills, but to collect for semesters and survive. My full-time colleagues take a normal average salary for the city I am in. Work tires you physically, but you are mentally calm because you know you will clear the last object and go home. Sometimes there is someone to pick on you, to explain to you that you are shorter than the grass, but this is present in every job. My boss is a good man, he doesn't allow such behavior towards his workers and he doesn't make contracts with people, which he doubts will not be taken seriously and with respect. As with any job, it is a matter of luck to find an employer who is human. I worked in shops and things were far worse there, but it is supposed to be a normal profession and it is not so low according to the society. No matter what we say, in all situations you need a stable income and a secure job. Just change the company, if you want try something different and easier to rest from stress, but think wisely. Being a cleaner is not a lifelong job, your arms and lower back will quickly start to hurt, and you are young. Think about yourself, then think about the future and never think about the opinion of relatives and friends. If someone makes fun of you for making the decision to clean for a year or two and relax mentally, imagine what this person is like and how close he really is to you. By the way, I've never met a bad look when I said what I do. A lot of people have shook my hand that I'm not ashamed and I do work. But I haven't even thought about it, I don't care what others say, I make my living honestly, nobody cares whether I clean or make deals.
This is a fictional story, 100%. The problem is in you, not in the work
Everything has a price. If you are a cleaner, you will not develop and you will sit on this level all your life, which at some point will start to weigh. In addition, a cleaner takes about BGN 500 and the store is probably wondering what to lose in order to have enough money for electricity. From personal experience I tell you that this is not pleasant at all and is depressing. She may be cheerful in front of you, but she knows what is in her soul. Yes, she can be calm and not shake her head every day, but she pays the price for it. You have a decent standard compared to her, but you still know at what price. Everything always has a price.
What if you're a boss and you're having a hard time, get an assistant?
Number 9, you speak too sharply and harshly. Don't confuse the English word "hygiene", meaning "healthcare" (in the sense of maintaining a healthy cleanliness of the body and premises), with the cleaning of premises! In this case, the author (obviously a woman) is absolutely right to use the word "cleaner", which is by no means shameful! Only you and some other people interfere with your thinking that the word "cleaner" is shameful! In Bulgarian we say "cleaner", and English speakers say "hygienist". If you have any doubts, open any Bulgarian dictionary, a collection of Bulgarian literary language, also a Bulgarian-English dictionary (preferably not from the last 5 years, because the newer ones are written by illiterates, replacing Bulgarian words with English their translations, but written in Cyrillic - a phenomenon known as "parrot"). Remember well the above and I urge you to be more friendly another time, because we are here to share our opinion with each other, not to pick and raise our voices. :) Good luck!
Number 9 - what is the difference between a cleaner and a hygienist? : D Just describe her that I laughed.
You will envy the janitor ... to the first salary! Yes, it is true that her work is not related to responsibilities and stress, but do you know how to live and how to look after a family with a minimum wage? Well, then when you can't pay your bills, you'll understand what stress is! Wondering when your electricity will be cut off and how to prepare your child for school will not be so fun and easy. And as for the fact that it's easy for her, she doesn't think it's true. Yes, he comes late and leaves early, but to connect the two ends he must clean at least a few more offices. So in the evening she is not so happy at all, but she is just shaking with fatigue. Also, as is your dream, quit your job and start cleaning. But quickly, quickly, your desire to be a cleaner will evaporate, guaranteed. You will simply replace one fatigue (mental) with another (physical), but at the end of the day, fatigue is fatigue. And people just think it's easy. It so happened that I work as a hotel manager and to tell you the work of maids is not as easy as people think. Yes, anyone can do it from the side, you are clean at home, but in fact it has a lot of specifics. And if you don't master them, you will have to run up and down and you will be always behind schedule. But if you dream about it so much ... take your vacation and try it for 1 month. Cleaners are always wanted, they will hire you, then you apply to leave and you're done. You will not try badly.

I don't know to what standard the author drives her, but to be in a cage for 8 hours is pure masochism! At one point you like it and you just want to catch the train and get off in a village, to walk, even for 3 hours and go back with the return train, to say to yourself "How long will I work for other people's interests to I can't look after my family? "You live better in prison than people like you! The office obviously does not allow you to watch TV, play games or read a book! While in prison you can do this without a problem! More than once they gave the lives of the prisoners and it turned out that imprisonment is not at all what the videos are about! They have fun in prison, they have phones, internet, food! It turns out that you live worse than the prisoners! Yes, it's not bad to be a cleaner, but look, if you find a way to make money online,
You know .. I understand what the author means .. I worked in a bank, I was overwhelmed with work, documents, responsibility all day .... The security guard took almost as much as me, but he stayed at the desk all day and did nothing, he had no tasks, he knows how his day will go. Yes, boring, but without stress and tension! That's when I envied him ...
People, for me the cleaners take more than me, along with a class of time served. And I have terrible headaches at the end of the day with operated eyes. We throw 1 rag in the morning and it is of such poor quality that we cough all day from the dust. I'm not against them, it's just not fair. And I dream of being a cleaner and I envy them. 2 hours of coffee in the morning while we look at the computers. Masters with 3 languages take as much as the cleaner. But people calm down and persevere. If there are mass protests, there may be at least 1% improvement. But not.
I don't understand you, honestly! Instead of being jealous of the cleaners and grumbling on forums, grab a broom and rags when you want to be cleaners and cleaners! :)
20 - Try on the assembly line 9-10 hours (there are also night) or drive a truck at night. It's especially nice if you're 20 and it's Friday night. And I don't care about my employer's interests, as long as he pays me and there's no danger of being put in jail, of course.
H9 to grammar Nazis with perfect English (according to them you are only) and a little bg. I am a young person and I prefer to open new dictionaries - preferably after the 89th. Hygiene comes from the Greek language, negotiates the etymology of the school, and I do not care how you came to the very introduction to the English word. And your conclusions are completely empty. The difference hygienist vs. cleaner is in relation to the people who take care of your health. But you don't even have a cleaner. Let's all laugh together.
25 - again we come to something completely different from the topic of conversation. In Bulgaria, many are still affected. Many people in our country look down on mine, and so do mine. I don't care. I am excited to take some normal money, as a young and intelligent person in our country. I studied about it for many years. And I don't care who cares about being a cleaner or a hygienist. Maybe one day I will become one. You never know. My idea is that it's not fair for someone to take as much work for 8 for 2 hours a day. And that's what a lot of people think.
H25 to the 26th Then to hire you as a cleaner to clean at home and your budget will be compacted? !! I very much hope that she would not be affected by my proposal. One thing is required in the job description: and that is to know the origin and meaning of the word! hygiene! . Success in the author's endeavor. We Bulgarians have become big predators ready to trample on the little remaining self-confidence of the weaker among us. In the case of the workplace. And no one is protesting against those above. All this ugliness for one salary. You are fighting for the unattainable 1000 leva, people! You don't need more, do you? !!
27, I would hire you as a cleaner or hygienist to clean at home. Believe me, I have and I can give you 2000. Purely. All you have to do is close the dictionaries and learn to clean. It is a difficult job, however, it is not easy. At the moment you are trying to suppress someone's self-confidence, but does it work? The fact that we work for about 500 does not mean that there are no people with money collected among us. Good luck with the dictionaries!
28, I believe you can give me a little over 2k. You are used to working for about 500 levs - the rest is taken away by the state and employers. What will happen to you if you set aside for me? !! Thank you :) It will be like studying, I quote, for many years "business administration" "business management". The school and the university are for a short time, then experience is gained over time. If things don't work out for you - you start to get angry against hard physical work. After all, we live in the 21st century and there have been no cleaners and slaves for a long time, and in the modern Bulgarian language the use of these words speaks of a low intellectual and social level. Why should I try to trample someone's self-confidence, ie yours, as it has been trampled on since before I existed in this topic? Emigrate, protest or go to a psychologist.
29 - say what is the word you use to replace a wiper. Why do you connect her slave I can not understand? Your comment is long and meaningless. Emigrate, some of us have studied foreign languages all our lives at school, we know how it is in the West and we don't care about what you associate with the West. Abroad, good tone is tolerated, culture - you are not there, because there is no way to grow, and for some of us it is a conscious choice. Why do you think I insult the cleaners? What is your problem I do not understand? You do not exist in this subject, but grow like a poisonous organism. If you send me to a psychologist, you're a psychiatrist.
