Some people these days have no consideration for the business that they work for. I work with just such people. How many times can you remind someone to cleanup after themselves? Isn’t that a part of normal everyday survival? I work in a business that depends on the equipment that we use. It is cleaning equipment like vacuums and shampooers. Three time in as many months I have come into the equipment room and found the shampoo machine still plugged in and up to full temperature. Not only is it a waste of electricity but what happens if it shorts out and starts a fire? Two weeks ago one of the two vacuum motors in this very unit did just that. Luckily we were there to shut it down. I am sure the breaker would have tripped but that seems like too much trust placed in man made items to leave it to chance. I have told the workers twice to turn off and unplug the machinery. Even the technician that works on and sells these machines says that that is a good idea. These workers do not even pick up after themselves. I have complained about that too. The owner does not seem to care, he is out taking care of his many other enterprises and does not pay attention to this little business. Countless time I have come into work and doing my job requires twice as much time because first I have to cleanup after the other people, than I have to find things that I need because they can never put them away. When I have complained directly to the owner the worker just walks off the job with complete impunity because he knows the owner will just take him back. I have been working at this location longer that some of these guys have been in the country. They have no pride in their work or their surroundings at the job. I speak to them and try to get them to do things right but I have to wear kid gloves because they will just walk off the job and leave me dry. It is a terrible way to be treated when you are just trying to do a good job in a place that you have been for years. I don’t know what has happened to the good old American work ethic but it is sure dwindling away.
