Rachel Maddow would look good with a scrub brush in hand.
I hope people don’t think America is necessarily better. Between crazy HR policies and crazy COVID policies, and crazy MBAs in leadership, a lot of jobs treat workers like dirt. I’ve seen many actual Subject Matter Experts be dismissed by people in Management who have no idea how to do anything, but have a compulsive need to throw their weight around. So the Subject Matter Expert is told to go do nonsense work that accomplishes nothing. Well, not nothing: it makes Management feel powerful.
Does she scrub her own toilet?
Might have been a test of some sort that’s permitted under their labor laws.
They have child beggars there.
I worked for a company in medical supplies distribution, where the owner who started the company, wouldn’t like the state of the office bathroom, so would clean it himself.
I assure you that afterwards, everyone using that bathroom were very careful using it, and no one questioned the owners’ humility or commitment to the company. I thought it was great leadership.
At the time it was a $200 million company - his sons now run it and its a $multi-billion company.
Did they make her eat bat?
Yes. That's why they had to put nets under the windows of tall buildings.
I used to tell my boss that he payed me by the hour. I would do whatever he wanted me to do as long as I had a job.
“On her first day, she was ordered to clean the bathroom with her colleagues...”
I love this so much! THIS is totally MY, ‘Leadership Style.’ ;)
Every new Spring season at the Garden Center, I hired a half-dozen or so HS students that were classified as Stock Boys, male or female.
Our very first ‘Corporate Meeting’ of the season was in one of the Rest Rooms.
They’d come in, and find ME cleaning the toilets.
And then I would SHOW THEM how I wanted the toilets, sinks, mirrors and floors cleaned and how to check every few hours (in High Season) if either bathroom needed TP, the trash emptied, more paper towels, air freshener spritzed, etc.
If ANY of them balked, I let them go that day. (Stock Boys are legion; all the HS kids needed cash for dates and car repairs!)
I never ONCE had a Customer Complaint that our bathrooms weren’t up to snuff. And I will carry that to my GRAVE! ;)
If you’re TOO BIG for the SMALL JOBS, you’re TOO SMALL for the BIG JOBS.
In all those years, I had only ONE ‘Karen’ complain, after I fired her kid, that I wasn’t ‘teaching her son what it meant to have a job.’
Whatever, ‘Mom.’ He’s probably STILL living, rent-free, in her basement.
I remember being sent for a bucket of bulkhead remover. Does that count?
Chinese toilets are bad enough to make this a near death experience.
Remember the old days for starting in the mail room and working your way up?
Somehow fitting for a media specialist.
