A local office cleaner has today found herself wondering what the hell she is doing with her life after wiping up what looks like laksa from the communal kitchen for the 5th time today.
Simone Yilmaz has been working in Bearnst & Long for over 3 years and there hasn’t been a day go by where she hasn’t found herself in this very same situation. And it’s made her wonder, is she working for a corporation of highly intelligent human beings responsible for millions of dollars, or, is she cleaning up after 30 floors of pigs?
The Advocate caught up with Simone after she finished unclogging a drain filled with shredded Pad Thai noodles.
“I don’t know how much longer I can deal with this. I’m supposed to be taking care of the whole building but I spend 90% of my time doing this shit!”
“I have a university degree and I’m here cleaning up after these pigs.”
Bearnst & Long employees don’t seem to be willing to change their habits though, as one laksa stained male employee explained.
“Give up $9 Thai lunches? Oink are you fucking kidding oink haha”
“You can’t buy the materials for that much, let alone the time you’d have to put in to making it”
“That cleaner’s just gonna have to deal with it, because we ain’t giving up shit!”
It’s unknown whether or not the cleaner will ever be brave enough to quit her job from hell, or just how many more noodles it’ll take to break her.
More to come.
