On Monday 1st June i got a phone call from my boss saying that the site i work at have complained that there is no soap or hand roll in the upstairs mens toilet, i told her there was when i was there as i had checked it all......i knew it was just a lie. I was only there 2 1/2 hours and there wasn't even full staff in either due to this virus and there is no way that the people who were going in there would of used it all on that short space of time but i also told her i will check it all again the following day anyway, which i did and there was both soap and hand roll there....... I was fuming at their bullshit complaint as i don't like lies or liars. That was the first time the site had lied about me.
On Wednesday 3rd june i met a guy who works for the company i work for, i found him rude and took an instant dislike to him especially when he said about a desk where the stores warehouse manager would sit and do his work on his computer, i said that i don't normally disturb him as he's normally working and this guy's response was "tell him to move, you have to with these people"........just plain rude.
On the Thursday, the 4th june, i got a text from my area manager saying -
I just been informed that you will receive an improvement letter from our head office this is to bring back the cleaning to our standards, I will be there next week to go through things with you.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
So i responded that i had even had compliments from people there about how good my cleaning is, she text back amd said it hadn't come from her. I found out a week or so after from her that it had come from one of our managers, he is just an arse who likes to complain about everything, i met him once and took and instant dislike to him and it was after i had met him this transpired. It was to do with the packing office which being on the site where they make cement will always be dirty, litreally you clean it and turn around and its dirty again where people are in and out of there constantly.
Around July when i didn't have my car and my now ex area manager was taking me to and from work she dropped me off one Friday morning and i went in and was on my way upstairs to get the keys for the cupboard when she rang and said she just had an email saying the gym hasn't been cleaned in ages and could i go up there and just do it again. I said i would. I had been going up there every week like I'm supposed too since i started here so another load of bollocks. Then my boss text me that the site have said the gym hasn't been touched and could i go up there sometime soon as it would be reopening a couple of weeks after and i said i would go up there again and that i had been the whole time since i started at the site and she even said she thought it was odd they would say that
Think it was a couple of months after that my boss sent some pics to me from my route that had been sent to her by this guy, the one who likes to complain, and she sent a screenshot of an email he sent along with those which said -
"Please see attached regarding *site name* day cleaner.
As we have been deep cleaning on a regular 3 weekly basis there is considerable improvement throughout these areas however the floors are not being cleaned properly if at all. Also spider webs, limescale around taps"
Again i was livid, his whole attitude stinks and he thinks he's better than everyone else and I'm not impressed by him in the slightest. My boss said she would come in and go round with me soon. She did the following day and said to not take it personally as he complained about 2 or 3 other people too. I also didn't do anything different to what i normally do when she was with me. My boss took some pics, more for this guy than anything, and was fine with my work.
I found the email patronising and as for "the floors are not being cleaned properly if at all" well that still annoys me as i have ALWAYS cleaned the floors since i started with the company in February and was put on this site, i find it very insulting to be honest.
About 2 - 3 weeks ago my boss sent me 3 screenshots of an email from a staff member on site, i regularly talk to the guy who sent it and was more disappointed he didn't come and talk to me to be honest. He basically said that the bins in his office and packing office hadn't been emptied and he had been doing them for the last week and that the desks hadn't been done in his office or the packing office and that he had been doing them with some cleaning stuff they had down there. There is a spray in the packing office. More lies as i have always emptied the bins and cleaned the desks in both places. The bin bags had run out about 2 weeks before too so i actually had none to put in and had even started using the clear plastic smaller bags for the bin in the kitchen bit just outside his office door in the absence of black bags. The drawback with using the clear ones is they don't fit the bigger blue bins.
So the following day i went when i went in, i did my normal inside stuff then got the trolley and went to his office where i pulled everything off both desks one by one and cleaned them like i normally had then mopped the floor. Then i went across to the packing office and started pulling things around and cleaning underneath them and putting them back then i mopped the floor, that whole process took about an hour or so, it was all filthy as my cloth was practically black so no one had been cleaning anything other than me.
On 29th September i got a text from my boss saying -
"Hi S......., 2 of our managers had a meeting with w.... this morning, can you make sure you replenish all toilet rolls, centre feeds, soap, everyday please, in all toilets, especially out on site as well"
That annoyed me as for the last 6 months i have been the only one replenishing anything as the other cleaners don't bother. I have also complained about that about 5 times too. Makes me wish i hadn't even bothered doing the replenishing the whole time.
I responded that i do anyway. That was the morning 10 boxes of black bin bags finally showed up. I even made a point of saying to the guy who complained about the bins, that i finally had some black bags and had just put some in all the bins on my route. He tried to act surprised by saying "did you run out?" And i said "yeah we haven't had any the last couple of weeks but did the best with the clear ones i had" and he said "that's all you can do" 😂 i think he knows that i know that he lied about me
