I scrub the restroom floors once a month. Friday I did 8 of them in 4 hours. I went kind of fast but did an OK job and actually spent 5 or 10 minutes after each one waiting for them to dry instead of lugging a mop around to dry them off with. When I reported back to the boss he was surprised and he couldn’t believe I did them that fast; I actually wasted a total of an hour if you count the time I wasted waiting for them to dry on their own so I was surprised that he was surprised.
He said I got them done way too fast and next time to take my time. I added that I’ll “spend more time” on them next time and that seemed to satisfy him. But then for some reason he felt he had to exert a little power and he said he’ll have me scrub 4 of them again near the end of the month. I noticed he has done some similar things a few times already. He’s new so I think he’s trying to assert himself and show he’s no pushover so a couple times of times he’s made things a little harder on me then they needed to be. Oh well, he doesn’t seem like a terrible guy, just a little insecure about showing who’s boss.
