What would you do if your job was, say, a customer service rep, and your boss told you to clean the trash can?

If you told him that you didn't want to clean the trash cans, and your boss said "don't let pride get in the way", would he have a good point?
What would you do if your job was, say, a customer service rep, and your boss told you to clean the trash can?
This is why job descriptions say "work duties may change without notice". Maybe your company don't have a cleaning crew, maybe you have to take care of your own area. Maybe it is just a one time thing, where everyone has to pitch in and help.





In Miami where I work, I would have a law suit if someone asked me to make coffee, where as somewhere else, it might be required of you.





Go ahead and take out the garbage. Don't get on the bad side of your boss. You never know when you will need him.





I once was asked to work on a photocopying project with another co-worker, it was something that had to be done in a hurry, the co-worker said photocopying was beneath her, and not part of her job description, I said yes. She was let go 2 weeks later and I worked for the company for 4 years until I left for another great job.





Unless your boss asks you do to something that isn't safe or illegal, go ahead and do it.
Reply:You should be lucky you have a job these days. As for cleaning the trash can. This is an act of team work. Someone has to do it. As a boss myself, these little things add up and are taken in consideration when there has to be a "chop block". As a customer service rep, you are obviously hired to address customer's issues and concerns. As an employee, teamwork is what it is all about.
Reply:I'd clean the trash can, most jobs have other duties incl and unless you have a trust find or have money in the bank, be prepared to do anything they ask you to do, I have dusted, vacuumed, cleaned the kitchen and bathrooms, a job is a job, and you often have to do things outside your own narrow job description.
Reply:As an employer I would go to the cleaning crew and request that they do their job correctly before I'd ask an employee to do their job for them. If there isn't a cleaning service, then I would expect everyone to take turns cleaning whatever needs to be cleaned, including myself. I would never ask anyone to do what I'm not willing to do.





But, that said, as one poster put it, we should all be glad we have jobs these days. That can change at anytime.
Reply:This is just part of life with a boss. It will stay in your mind for the next 20 years. Then you will open your own business and never have a boss again.


Clean the trash can..
Reply:Yes. Most jobs include unnamed tasks given by your supervisor in the job description. Meaning your job is what your boss tells you to do.
Reply:CSR jobs consist of doing whatever your boss needs and whatever the customer needs. If you want a better job without cleaning trash then go to college and get a four year degree.
Reply:If you check your job description, it will probably read something like 'and any other duties assigned by management'.
Reply:If its not in the job description you can tell him no and go to Human Resources and complain.
Reply:YES. If you look at your job description, you will see 'Other duties as assigned'. There are plenty of unemployed people who would do it...

Manager of rooming house - his job to clean common areas or mine as a tenant????

i used to run a boarding house and it was my job to keep the common areas clean.this man is the laziest manager i've ever met
Manager of rooming house - his job to clean common areas or mine as a tenant????
Who cleans the common areas should be specified in the rental agreement. Also it needs to define what are common areas. For example is the stair landing on your floor a common area or your private area?





Once you determine who is responsible for cleaning common areas, if it is the manager and he is not doing it, you can remind him nicely, and if that does not work notify the owner. If several tenants do so , the owner will take action.
Reply:read your lease, hopefully you have one.

I would like to clean offices as a part time job but need some info concerning how much to charge.?

Any advice or info would be appreciated.
I would like to clean offices as a part time job but need some info concerning how much to charge.?
call other business in your area and ask how much do they charge and go from there GOOD LUCK
Reply:it depends on the duties involved. are you emptying wastebaskets and vacumning the floors? $10 per office. Are you washing windows too? add $10 per office. You don't charge by the hour, you charge by the space. Are there 50 cubicles? what is on the floor, carpet or tile? Are you mopping, buffing floors? mopping and buffing you compute by the space, $10 foot by 20 foot = $30 . It also depends on where you are. what city. what region of the country. you charge more in New York City than Canton Ohio. Lot of variables in these equations.
Reply:around 5 dollars a sqaure foot

How long does it take to get pot out of your system..not a big user..need to get clean for job interview?

It depends on a few factors. If you carry a large percent of body fat, it may take longer as THC stores in your fat cells instead of simply in the blood. If you eat a low fiber, high-fat diet it will also slow the detox process. If you are a heavy user and have been for some time it can take up to 3 months. Honestly. the teas and detox drinks are not 100% fool proof (trust me, on this.) :( So if you're really worried you can use a synthetic alternate. There is one called QUick Fix that I have used in the past and it definitely works. Just make sure to buy 2 since 1 tends to not be not enough of a specimen. Good Luck
How long does it take to get pot out of your system..not a big user..need to get clean for job interview?
About thirty days start to finish. Depending on how long before the test you can drink vinegar and there are also natural herbal supplements available at health food stores. Pee a alot.
Reply:I've heard you can buy stuff at a head shop that will clean out pot. And you have to drink a lot of water or cranberry juice with it. But it has worked for some people I know. The more in advance you take it of the test the better.

I need to clean years of grime from my paving stones, what would be the best tool for the job?

I'm thinking steam cleaner or jet washer but is there a better way?
I need to clean years of grime from my paving stones, what would be the best tool for the job?
depends on size and how much elbow grease you can put in... small cheap jet washer is good idea, but also cheap value bleach (very thin liquid type not gel) put into a sprayer and then spray a fine mist (be careful of eyes, skin %26amp; clothing etc) and then leave for 5 - 10 mins and then scrub with hard bristle broom - works wonders.
Reply:pressure washer,fantastic tool . i picked one up in Morrison's supermarket for 拢25.00. it blasts the grime of my slabs,it cleans my decking.and i alter the nozzle for a more gentler spray to wash the car. best 拢25.00 Ive ever spent?
Reply:use a mixture of 50/50 water and bleach. scrub and rinse off, this also works on decks and outside walls where the rain splashes on the house.
Reply:power washer would be best or try CLR
Reply:pressure washer! they are amazing! and they are pretty cheap to! happy washing!
Reply:Pressure Washer !!
Reply:I did mine the other week and used a jet washer. The patio is looking like it is brand new now. Just be careful when doing it as you may dislodge the concerete that is holding the slabs down.
Reply:Hire a steam cleaner, we cleaned off my mums drive in a few minutes with one we got from a local hire shop.
Reply:waterblaster
Reply:Jet washer is the best way - you can buy this special fluid for cleaning the stones but to be honest it is a waster of money - 4 weeks later and the grime starts to build up again. Buy a small jet washer for around 拢40 and you'll save in the long run

What is the best job for a mother who only has experience as a counter person in Dry cleaner store?

I have friends who make a LOT of money selling stuff on ebay. They shop garage sales, empty the clutter from their houses, and resell it on ebay.


Your only investment should be in a digital camera to take pictures of the items you're selling, and a printer to print out Priority Mail labels.


Take some time to learn how ebay sellers write their item promotional paragraphs. Set limits for your shipping areas (like continental US only if you don't want to ship overseas).





Get a PayPal account so you can take PayPal as a seller. The money you earn transfers into whatever bank account you want, when you want to, or you can reuse it lots of places on the Internet which take PayPal.





The best part of this kind of job is your freedom. You're home with your family, your time is your own, and you can make money clearing clutter and selling things you no longer need or want. Better than Avon, MaryKay, Amway, or any other home show type business.


Talk to your CPA about how to manage the tax end of it; you should declare your earnings.


The downside is there are no benefits like health insurance, but you may have a spouse with adequate benefits. You could potentially earn enough selling on ebay to either self-insure or buy into your spouse's policy.

How do I clean my minor record so I can get a job?

My freind has a record 4 shoplifting LOL! (weasel) from 2 years ago he now needs this clean so he can get a job. whats steps must he take ?








he was 16 at the time now he is 18 and it is still haunting him. he was never sentenced it was just placed on his record








he only did it once!
How do I clean my minor record so I can get a job?
Go and ask for his record to be officially expunged... His Juvenal record SHOULD have been automatically sealed...





If he is being haunted by this... He needs to take the appropriate steps to have it OFFICIALLY expunged...
Reply:it's really tough to get a court record removed totally, my thought is to be open about the incident and reveal the fact that he was a little younger and now he is a little smarter.

I want to clean up rental homes and new construction homes. How much would you charge and how hourly or by job?

I am wanting to make my small business.
I want to clean up rental homes and new construction homes. How much would you charge and how hourly or by job?
Charge by the size of the house. Room count, bath count, number of floors.


Always inspect a rental house before quoting since you won't know what you might face after a messy tenant trashes the place.


Most cleaning contractors include washing windows and doing lots of other jobs not typical of a weekly cleaning, so my suggestion would be to start every job with a base price of $350 for a full clean-up of a standard 8 room, 2.5 bath house. Anything such as hauling trash and construction debris should be extra.
Reply:I'm a landlord and if I were to hire you, I would want to pay a firm fixed bid price. More important, would be how fast you could get the unit move in ready , because if I have to keep the unit vacant for a month anyway, I'll do it myself, that is unless the tenant's security deposit is paying for it. Since normal cleaning is a landlord's responsibility if a unit needs a great deal of cleaning there is usually more than enough documented property damage to eat up the security deposit.
Reply:Most people who clean houses like this,charge by the square feet.I dated a girl who did this for a living.Good luck on your future.

Has anyone ever used Avon's Skin-So-Soft to clean their bathtub? If so, did it do the job?

I don't know anyone who uses Skin So Soft for it's original purpose. One girl at work uses it to kill ants on her kitchen sink. Someone else uses it to keep mosquitoes away. And today I heard it makes a great solvent for soap scum....so it's great to clean tubs and sinks with.





Anyone with experience here?
Has anyone ever used Avon's Skin-So-Soft to clean their bathtub? If so, did it do the job?
I do not think so - On my bathtub it left kind of an oily residue and I had to use a soft scrub to remove it.
Reply:It's so oily and slippery I can't see it being a good bathtub cleaner.. you'd have to really make sure it was all rinsed away that's for sure! You'd slip easily with that stuff in the tub. I guess if you are curious, give it a shot. Maybe start with your sink before you do the tub though.

You live with your mother in law? Nice.
Reply:If the house belongs to your mother-in-law, it's time to move. If the house is yours kick her to the curve. Your husband should be helping around the house also.
Reply:HELL NO! marriage is team work. if you were a stay at home wife, you should do the majority of the cleaning, still not all of it. but since you work, hell no.
Reply:If it is your house then it is your rules. tell her in her own house she is welcome to do and say anything that she wants and believes, But in your home it is you that makes the decisions as far as house work is done and if that means delegating it to others, because you are working and bringing in money then delegate with out guilt, you are right and she is not
Reply:No! Everything should always be split up, kinda like chores when you were younger. Yes, you should have to clean a little bit because you live there also, but everyone needs to chip in and help! Tell her to get her fat *** up off the computer and help!
Reply:Wrong!!!! When you work outside of the home, especially, the housework is a joint effort between ALL occupants!!!
Reply:NO! Leave those old stereotypes behind! Please don't worry about what your mother in law thinks- It's more important that you %26amp; your partner agree on what works best for your household.





Divide and Conquer is the rule at our house! With both people working, it' s the only way to go... but a word of advice -clearly define each persons roles - otherwise it can get messy- trust me.





My husband is in charge of all of the household wash ( mostly because he likes things folded a certain way), taking out the trash and taking care of our pet cat (since he brought the stray home from work one afternoon). He also helps with food shopping on occasion too.





Talk about what each of you likes and dislikes about housework and divide accordingly. It will certainly help if you work together on this one.
Reply:Ahhhh? am I missing part of this? What does the Mother-In-Law have to do with this? If your both working outside the home then by all means both work to make a home run smoothly. It should be a 50/50 proposition on the cooking, cleaning, laundry and kids. He works 5 mins from the house an 8 to 6 with lunch time coming home. I work on the road, some days 15 hours, I make my own work schedule. We share in everything. On weekends we do the shopping and the heavy cleaning, thru the week we do laundry and dishes and general pick up as well as cooking. Over the last 4 years we have gotten it down better and better as to who does what, but on the whole we share it all.
Reply:Tell her to clean it if she's so concerned. If she doesn't pay any of your bills she has nothing to say if you don't clean for a year. Now if she doesn't like that then tell her to keep her f...ing mouth closed.
Reply:No you shouldn't and what else is she doing that she can't help. What is your husband doing besides work that he can't help? tell your husband to tell her to keep opinions on how you run your household to herself. I can't stand meddling mom-in-laws. Some of them really need a hobby besides meddling.
Reply:Nope. If your working the house work should be 50/50.
Reply:It depends how you set up your agreement.
Reply:Tell her that if she does not keep her mouth shut you will disconnect the Internet service.
Reply:OK where is the hubby in all this and why isn't he helping do any of the housework??
Reply:She must have bumped her head.
Reply:Well if you are living under her roof and she is paying the bills i would agree... she should help though but manly i would think you should...





move out if it bothers you..
Reply:It depends on the agreement between the husband and wife on how to divide responsibilities at home. My husband and I both work, we have a maid come in 2x/month, so we don't have to worry about cleaning too much. I do all of the day-to-day stuff like cooking, dishes and laundry - and he does the rest (electrical work, plumbing, home improvement projects, fixing things, maintaining electronics and computers, general financial management, paying bills, I could go on). I think, I've got a great deal here, I'll do dishes any day of the week instead of crawling in the attic pulling cable for the new lighting system.





Your MIL should butt out of your life, as should you out of hers (if she wants to play on the computer all day it's her business). Your husband is the one you should be making an agreement with re. your household chores; what your MIL thinks about it - doesn't really matter.
Reply:does your MIL live with you guys? WTF????


and no, you shouldnt do all the cleaning if you have a full time job but... do you help paying bills/rent etc? because if you dont, then you kinda have to do all the cleaning.
Reply:HELL NO LET HER CLEAN IF SHE LIVES WITH U AND IF HER SON LIVES WITH U LET HIM CLEAN **** IT'S A 50/50 THING IF NOT GO ON STRIKE. THAT ALWAYS WORKS 4 ME WHEN NO ONE WANTS 2 HELP ME CLEAN. JUST CLEAN UR STUFF AND 4 GET ABOUT EVERYBODY ELSE UNLESS U HAVE A LITTLE BABY. U DO THERE CLEANING 2.
Reply:number one that there no way in hell my wife's mother will be living with us...... and number 2 is that i clean my house even if my wife can do some but she does most work with kids and i clean the house and I do spend alot time with wife and kids .... so ummmm. again no way in hell mother in law living with me and kids.... too much plm and i can set her outside with tent, campfire, other stuff.
Reply:hell no he can help or be gone
Reply:I do most of the cleaning at our home, but my husband pays for everything so I don't mind.
Reply:What decade is she stuck in?!!! That is such a ridiculous statement. I would just ignore her comments and tell her to mind her own business. You will clean if and when you feel like it.
Reply:No, it is not. If both people work in a marriage then it is both of their responsibility. Now if the woman wants to take on that burden of cleaning the house, then that's fine or vice versa. But if the woman doesn't work and her husband brings home the paycheck then out of courtesy the woman should want to keep the house clean and have a hot meal for her husband.
Reply:No, it's not. Your mother in law sounds very lazy. And she qualifies as a woman, so put her to work.
Reply:Sounds like your mother in law is stuck in the ice ages. Back in the day, thats how it was, but times have changed, and woman have more responsability nowdays. your mother in law is just an old fassioned person, but it dosnt mean you have to be one too. Everyone should lend a helping hand in the home.
Reply:Tell her to get off her duff. Or kick her out..unless you are the ones living with her in which case i would say pick up after yourselves...dont pick up her stuff...
Reply:Do you live with her?


If not, i think your mother-in-law should mind her business.


Chores should be divided up and if you and your husband both work then you should both do your fair share.


I say this but i can't get my husband to do crap! But my mother-in-law stays out of it.
Reply:My wife and I both work. We split the housework based upon who is busy at the time.
Reply:What is your mother law doing liveing with you first of all. And if its a womans job then she can get up and do it.
Reply:No it is not the woman's job to do all the cleaning . I am a older woman with grown children and I hold a full time job , my husband is disabled , he does a lot of the cleaning , all the laundry, and I do most of the cooking if I feel like it and if I don't we have sandwiches or frozen dinners or go out to eat. My husband never complains about this and he says he feels like he should do more and would if he could.

Maids - do you usually clean peoples houses while they are home or out? Isn't it harder to doa good job while
I've been cleaning homes and businesses now for 2 years. Most of the time it is more difficult to clean when the owners are present. The only good thing about them being there is them being able to show what they want done. Most of the people try to stay out of the way and that is very helpful but some just go in and out when I am in an area. They get what I have just cleaned dirty again and expect me to clean it again. It is a waste of their money and my time. It is better for them to be gone because that allows me to clean in the most efficient way- start with what needs to be done first. I understand though that some people want to make sure you are doing what they want and how they want and making the customer happy is the most important thing so I would say it is really up to them.
Reply:I don't work as a housekeeper now- But I saw quite a lot when I did.





Some people are indeed a lot harder to work around. There was one sweet-natured lady I used to clean for- and I think she was lonely. She was an elderly darling, and always so appreciative of the work that was done for her- But it was hard to do anything while she was hugging me, and more than once I had to catch a closet door that started to fall down on her while I was doing her laundry.





Other people prefer to be there while the housekeeper is, and still others prefer to be out.
Reply:I use to clean houses about 5 years ago and I always preferred that they weren't home so I could turn the music on and just keep cleaning without interruption. When I think of it, if it were me having my house cleaned, then I would want to be here. Just b/c its hard to trust people in your home when you aren't there
Reply:I cleaned houses about 6 years ago. I never cleaned a house when someone was home, they usually wanted me to come during the day when they were at work.

How do I clean white cement off tile? A workman did a messy job with the grout.?

It's pretty easy. Go down to your nearest Home Depot and go to their flooring department. There you should find a acid called sulfamic acid, it will be in a small container(yellow and orange), get you only one, that's as much as you need. While you are there pick you up some or a grouting sponge and a hard brisel brush and maybe a 5 gallon bucket if you do not have one already. Now go home and read the directions on how to mix your acid to water ratio. Once you have that much figured out, mix your acid and water. Remember the A%26amp;W rule, always mix acid into water. Once they are mixed, sponge the acid/water mix onto the areas where you have the white cement. Get a whole lot on the tiles to where the acid/water mix is sitting on top. Now, let the acid/water sit on the tiles for about 4 to 5 minites. Once that time has gone by, get your hard brisled brush and start scrubbing the cement off, this should be knocking off any cement the acid/water didn't get off by itself. Once you are done scrubbing, wipe off all your acid/water and then with a clean bucket of water sponge the whole area taking off all the acid and cement deposits left behind. This should work great for you. Good luck.

Is it wrong to use synthetic or clean Urine to pass a jobs drug test?

I have a prescription for medical marijuana and as an American I have a right to privacy concerning my medical conditions. I have had many drug tests for jobs, and have always passed them, but never stopped using my medicine. Is it wrong for me to hide my medical condition and treatment from my employer?
Is it wrong to use synthetic or clean Urine to pass a jobs drug test?
Your own medical history is in no way an employer's business.





If you refuse to take the test, they will likely refuse to let you work there. If you explain your situation, they may understand...or they may not. You're at their mercy, especially if you are in a State like Florida, where employers can fire you and not provide a reason for it.





Your medical history is something you should keep private between your doctors, your family, and yourself.





On that note, I would suggest using the clean or synthetic urine, if you live in a "right to work" state, like Florida.
Reply:It depends on your duties at work. I am an employer and I sometimes smoke pot. But I would not like the thought of one of my boys being "stoned" while installing a furnace in a customers home which could explode or burn the house down. YOU have to be responsible. Your employer could wind up being sued out of business while you continue on your merry little way to screw up someone else's life. Show some backbone and leave the dope at home on work days.
Reply:If you had Lyme disease and were taking Oxycontin or Ultracet for the pain, you'd not disclose that information...what makes medicinal marijuana any different?





Don't use synthetic urine -- that's taking it a little too far.





Get a detox drink and use that instead.
Reply:That one I really am not sure of but if you test positive for Marijuana you can be fired. And there is nothing you can do about it because you failed to inform them of your condition that requires you to smoke Marry Jane.
Reply:yes, it is wrong.





If your health issues can potentially hinder your ability to do your job - then it IS the right of them employer to know. Your employer has the right to maintain a safe working environment - and drug screening is part of that.
Reply:not at all your medical stuff is your business and yours only to tell plus it is illegal for you to be fired or denied employment for this and really it's not that bad i would love to tell my boss i smoke weed but you see i would get fired so enjoy you lucky bastard
Reply:Of course it is wrong. It is cheating. If YOU have to take a drug test, legally you have to give YOUR specimen for the test.





If you have a prescription, then it shouldn't be an issue. Prescription medication is permitted.
Reply:I'd tell them if you are using "medicine" because if you were to fail a drug test, then you'll have questions to answer and face a possible firing if they have a strict drug policy. And yes it is wrong to cheat on a drug test.
Reply:It depends on what the company's policy is and what the marijuana's for.





Personally, I would tell them sooner rather than later.

If you are up front with your boss he/she will have respect for youin the long run...if you lie and they find out...you will be percieved as dishonest...as well you would be.

Is it your time of the month


AAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHH
Reply:I hate it when he comes home and I've been slaving away (mainly on Answers) but done tidying up etc and he says - 'what have you been doing all day?'





Or I'm sitting watching TV and he comes in, picks up remote and changes channel!!





Typical man!
Reply:he doesn't do that. he just ignores it and walks around in his boots anyway
Reply:no
Reply:he gives me a surprised look and says: "wow, it's about time" and then starts looking at every single detail in the house so that he can point out if i missed anything. *rolling eyes*


Im just not the cleaning type of person, but when i DO do it, i do a god damn good job of it! I just wanna get it all done at once.
Reply:lol thats soo funny my partner doesnt dare wind me up (i say im hormonal 26 days a month lol)
Reply:I clean all day and my husband doesn't even notice. I hate that. I bust my a** and he comes home and throws his stuff all over and plops down on the couch and I get no recognition. Or even worse, when something needs to be cleaned, he tells me or calls me over to point it out instead of taking care of it himself.
Reply:Im lucky my hubby helps with everything around the house.That includes Ironing.
Reply:even though i don't have a husband (i have a wife), i'll answer the 2nd part to your question...





it kinda winds me up when i come home after working 10 hours a day, there is no "thank you for going to work to pay the bills", but instead holding a baby to me, saying "it's your turn" until our baby goes to bed, and then criticizing me on how i'm taking care of our baby incorrectly. but when i ask questions on how to do it the correct way, i'm told that i'm questioning and undermining my wife. who has chosen to stay home, btw.





it's a little frustrating. but what do i know, i'm just a stupid man. i'll "never be able to give birth", so that automatically makes me a 2nd class citizen. i should always apologize for what's between my legs.
Reply:Not notice that I've cleaned.... ugh....





;o)
Reply:dont get me started!!!!
Reply:One time I cleaned the house top to bottom and cooked my husband his favorite meal (shrimp scampi and steak with baked potatoes and asparagus). He came in, looked around, looked at the table and put his hand on his forehead like he was checking my temperature..





Silly man.
Reply:I cleaned the house to perfection and he didn't have a reason to complain about the house as usual so he decided to yell about the yard and the van
Reply:my hubby waits for me to clean the bathroom then he goes into it floods it leaves wet towels all over the floor, still love him to peices though ( sad)
Reply:I spend all day making a meal, a special meal for him, something he likes and he either doesn't want to to eat because he isn't hungry, he will eat after he sleeps, something isn't done to his satisfaction, or he will eat but when I ask him if he likes it he say "it's ok".





He will ignore me for days on end and only talks to me when he wants to *****. He threatens divorce but when I mentioned it to him last Xmas he was dumbfounded.





He takes the used towels in the bathroom and dries them and puts them back in the closet.





He comes home from work filthy and doesn't shower and then goes to bed on the nice clean sheets I just washed.





He won't go to the dentist and refuses to go to the doctor when he is sick and then complains because he is sick.





Comes home from work whenever he has a mind to and expects me to have his supper on the table and ready to eat at a moments notice.





I bet you are sorry you asked this question!
Reply:I don't have a husband. BUT WAAAAAAAAHAHA THAT DOES WIND ME UP!
Reply:After I spend ages getting ready for a night out, best clothes, hair and makeup done, my boyfriend ALWAYS says "you not getting ready to go out then?"
Reply:My boyfriend moves everything, i always do the majority of cleaning but he moves everything . I put things in places where i can find them but he always moves things and forgets where hes put them!! Also he farts in bed and wafts the covers!!
Reply:i havent got a husband i have a wife and i wish she would clean the house
Reply:he dosent realise i clean at all ...he think things get clean by the cleaning fairy ( in he's word )... as stupid as it sound i wonder if he actually believe in it sometimes ???? when something is dirty he just tell me and thinks i will tell it to the cleaning fairy !!!!
Reply:Uh....
Reply:I cleaned my front wondows today and come in and he went '' you made it look worse'' I was not happy xx
Reply:He never says anything till I say "Look at the house." He does not act very surprised and says "Uh huh."

Can a Construction company doing a union job for the state hire out workers that are non union to clean?

A construction company working for the state school systems hired out a cleaning business that was not union and they did not pay prevailing wage. Would this be something the unions would like to hear about? Is this legal? What if they were paying the people off of the books too? Would the state like to know about this?
Can a Construction company doing a union job for the state hire out workers that are non union to clean?
They don't have to be union. Generally, they do have to pay prevailing wage IF a prevailing wage has been established for that particular trade and location. Depends on the specifics of the contract.
Reply:This exactly why all Unions should be busted. They don't care about their members, they are just greedy.
Reply:That a good idea and will save the state money it needs in this economy

I contacted a well known cleaning service to ask about job opening positions available now.?

I was told by the manager(?) or owner (?) that there was one position that needed to be filled by the last week of February He told me to call today and let someone know I'd be coming so there would be someone there. I called the office and arranged to come by on Monday morning to complete the job application, and hopefully be granted an interview.


To make a short story tediously loooonnnnggg I'll cut to the chase. I own a cleaning service that opened in September and I still haven't received a call or email from any potential customers. So I thought this job with the chain janitorial/house and commercial cleaning would give me experience, as well as learning how the business managed to remain so successful over the years. But my dilemma is whether to inform them that I'm just starting in the industry and have my own cleaning company. I'm afraid that they won't hire me because they might assume that I wouldn't stay very long, or suspect that I'm planning to compete against against them tin order to lure their estibled clientele away from them. I'm doing neither of these things because it would be highly unethical.


I would gratefully appreciate your wisest advice.


Thank you,

CC,





As long as your intentions are only employment and you do not crossover into self promotion, there is really no reason to disclose your business. If they ask you about it, tell them the truth. It was/is something you attempted on your own but decided to seek employment instead. Otherwise, the don't ask, don't tell policy would probably be the best. One thing you might want to be wary of is if they have you sign an application or anything make sure there isn't a "no compete" clause tucked away in the verbiage. Some companies try to corner the market on competition with these.


The best bet for you is to be 100% honest and give 110% of your effort to them while working there.





I hope this helps.

Reply:I agree with Brett as far as the issue you are asking about. But just in case you don't get the job, or are still looking at establishing your own cleaning business, I have a few suggestions.


By your information, you are being too passive in attempting to acquire customers. Emails won't work and waiting for them to call you won't work. You need to get in front of the decision maker! Start with an introductory letter or phone call or drop by to introduce yourself and find out who is in charge. Then make an appointment to do an estimate or bid. Remember, every business that you do business with-insurance agents, lawyers, accountants, doctors-can be a potential customer. At least you will find out who they use, how much they pay and what they expect.


Search out new office complexes and find the leasing agent or property manager to find out who's in charge of cleaning services.


Oh, I have some many more resources and tips below....





You CAN do this!

If I have bad credit but a clean criminal background, could I still get a job?

Nationwide said they had a position available for me but wanted to do a consumer credit check, and asked it they could proceed with the hiring process.

For sure, check out this website. I signed up so quickly and made some the next day! It was so easy. Just check out...

Reply:Do you know how many people have bad credit now? Quite a few. Just be prepared to explain it.

I'm 15 and live in Missouri were can I get a job. Please something besides cutting lawns, cleaning, and etc.

Try Missouri

You can get employment anywhere actually. They started this ordeal call Hardship employment, but since you're 15 you can only do so many hours. I was 15 working at Bed Bath %26amp; Beyond and I'm pretty sure you can do so as well. If you need help on your resume email me. I'm an English major so it won't hurt to help you. Try looking for small businesses like a copy center or retail would be perfect for you. The mall hires students all the time. Try new places like Hollister (clothing company) it was really fun working there, Ambercrombie, or even the closest library will hire you. It's all about changing your sense of direction and pursuing ambition. Let me know how everything works out! Hugs-N-Luvs Choa
