Janitors

Why do they have janitors in companies anyway?
When you are in a college or in the army you clean your room and equipment on your own.
Why can´t the office workers clean their rooms and their desks?
They could easily clean the rooms and corridors, that wouldn´t take much time since there are many workers.
That is psychological!
They let janitors clean the rooms and the desks cause when she comes to your desk and cleans it you feel better. When you feel good, you work better!
You think like, “She is working for me, I actually have an employee!”
…and maybe it holds you away from a claim for more money.
You might think like,
“I work in a nice office and I have someone who works under me, I can´t risk that with wanting more money! Maybe I would lose my job…maybe the janitor who is cleaning my desk had an office job before and asked for more money!?”
So basically the janitors get paid for cleaning, making you happy and scaring the hell outta you at the same time. They are probably the most hard-working people in the entire company!
But feeling special is the main reason why many people have a maid at home.
They are like,
“I can afford a maid! I´m the boss of someone! I can create a chaos and the maid can´t blame me for that.”
They usually say they got no time to clean their homes, because there are so busy.
I don´t buy that! You can´t be too busy to clean your home! When you have time to spend time in your home, you have time to clean it.
Well, maybe you are like,
“I would have time but I´m too stressed to do it, when I am at home I want to relax!”
You relax on the sofa and watch the maid cleaning your flat.
But haven´t you ever made the experience that cleaning is actually a really good way to relax?
Look at all the janitors and maids, they are really satisfied and balanced!
If I had a maid, I would go like, “Damn, there goes my money and she has all the fun!”
…that would stress me!

But watching people cleaning rooms at work is enjoyable for me too. I love that feeling that someone works for me and I don´t pay him for doing that! Maybe the janitor can also bring me a coffee, I don´t know!
