    I'm 32 and I worked as a janitor for 4 years.

    There's no such thing as "permanent" jobs. If people are considerate and always cleaned up after themselves then fewer people get hired to clean and the inverse is also true, if people make more messes they hire more cleaners. In the end it doesn't matter, the boss always makes sure to force the maximum amount of work onto the fewest people. You can't actually make their job easier.

    This isn't even a bad cleaning job. At least no one shit anywhere.

      You are right. I have to remind myself that even in my country, where garbage collectors and janitors working in government facilities used to be civil servants with relative protections (they couldn't be fired without just cause), that's absolutely not the case anymore. Now, most of the cleaning work here is outsourced and are contracted on demand.
