If I have been with a company for 11 years can they make me clean the bathrooms for no reason concerning me?

If they are pushing people to quit, then that is what is happening to you.\n\nYou need to decide to either go with the flow and be a survivor the the purge, or to get out while you still have some dignity.\n\nOne point of info- it is a LOT easier to get a new job while you still have one, so don't quit right away.

Well, that's interesting. You see, I, at one time, had a friend who owned a convenience store(like mom&pop) who begged me to do some remodeling. After a short period of phenagling, he convinced me to help him run the place while he ran his daily errands. It became convenient to me to keep some of my tools at his store so that I might leave directly from there to other construction projects. In his realising that he had not the storage space for my items, He insisted that he close the female restroom, and allowed me to use it as my personal area for storage. Well, after that, it was obvious to me that this was also my personal bathroom, as I was the only one with the key. To this date, I feel more comfortable with using the facilities given than at any other time in my life.\n  So , I would have to say yes to your question of 'Do I use the same toilet cubicle'.

All businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone.  But they really should provide you with an explanation, since you have dealt with them for a while.  One thing you can do is to contact the company and find out why they are refusing to serve you after they had been doing so for 5-1/2 years.  You can check with a manager, but you can also be prepared to follow the chain of command there, regardless of whether it's a local business, or a chain.  I hope this helps.

This stuff sounds nasty.\nDon't piss about, get a professional chemical clean up firm in.\nIt might be a legal requirement to do so under the Health & Safety Act.

I would say the health department could handle that for you. Also, I would call the BBB and make sure they know how bad a landlord he is.

I reported a leak from the bath to my insurance company back in april. the man came to assess the job, outcome new bath req and replace small flooring area underneith bath. cowboys turn up a month later and find another fault, the toilet has  a crack in it and has leaked damaging the floor. Oh sorry mate we cant start the job cause thats another claim, another 50 quid excess and another month ahead the man turns up and by this time the cieling below is rotten and needs replacing, the man says he cant start yet cause the cieling has to be taken out by another firm of cowboys. two weeks later cowboy firm 2 turn up and take cieling out, the day after cowboys 1 come and replace the cieling and floor in the bathroom but a plumber (cowboy 3) has to take the bath and toilet out first. When i ask cowboy 3 what time is the new bath and toilet going back in, he says what bath? dont know anything about that mate. I ring the cowboy boss in his saloon and ask where my new bath is he says ill ave one for you this time next week, F*&%^"^^* ell I say, you mean after all these months of waiting you dont have a bathin waiting? no sorry mate. The plumber is about to leave and i ask what time will he be back to put the toilet back in, sometime tomorrow fella unless you could put it back in for us ta. F*&^%$&^&&** off  I say. He didnt come back so I did it myself. Meanwhile downstairs the cowboys have done the cieling but when i look I cant believe they have stood on the kitchen worktop and cracked it bad. I ring up next day and cowboy boss tells me oh yer mate my boys noticed that so they took a picture of it to prove it wasnt them. Mmmm, can you imagine how pissed off I am, well it goes on, you see when the cieling was done it had to be re artexed, ENTER cowboy 4. He artexes the cieling and while he is doing it splashes it all over the kitchen walls he has also damaged the cieling in the dining room adj to the kitchen. He comes back a week later to give me some paint to do it myself if i want, I tell him F&^%**&^** off as I am now ready to kill someone, he paints like a 7 year old child, after he rides off into the sunset to F&*^&  someone elses day up, I clean up his mess and repaint the kitchen myself. My Insurance company couldnt believe all this so I took photos along the way, they believe me now but I only get a sorry for the last FIVE MONTHS of absolute hassle. This job could have been done in a day, instead my insurers brought in the biggest team of cowboys this side of texas and it all ended up taking FIVE MONTHS. Be very carefull who you let into your house.

The policy will vary between companies as it is likely a disciplinary offence.\n\nBest bet is to go and ask for the manager and make a formal complaint.  He doesn't need the hassle but make it clear if he doesn't get it sorted you will write to head office.

not exactly, but when i was 17 i worked in a nursing facility as a housekeeper/janitor, and one day as i was cleaning a room, and i went to empty the bathroom trash. well, as i opened the bathroom door, there was a resident sitting on the toilet, (lady in her mid to upper 80's) i was so embarassed that i just left the room and went on to the next one. later that day, one of the female housekeepers told me that the lady felt bad that i got embarassed, but she wished i had shut the door because she wasn't finished. :)

I use to be a GM for hotels for many years.\nWe used Oreck Vacuum cleaners and \nZep cleaning products which can now be found at Home depot.  To get your showers really shiny you can also buy a can of gel gloss there too.\nTo get tough marks out of the toilets we would use pumice stones!!\nPassed all my QA inspections with flying colors!\nHope that helps!!

You might do all those things but the other people in the building might not be so clean. Tell your manager in writing  give him a copy and let him know if the problem isnt fixed in a timely manner you will put your rent in an escro account with the local courts.

Yes. It's called an employer. They dole it out over the course of many years.

they can't fire you for an on the job injury regardless of how long you have been there, not only would you get unemployment if they did, but you would have a very strong case for a wrongfull termination lawsuit, in addition you sould seek punitive damages for the injury itself.

Who appointed you bathroom manager? Mind your own business. Just don't shake hands with him if it bothers you that much. \nIt's not that serious. If the guy took a shower in the morning his **** is clean and germ free so unless you work in a restaurant go back to work and worry about something else.\nDo you put the seat down and close the lid after you use the toilet? This is also proper bathroom etiquette. Or proper potty training.\n The way you describe the guy as an animal means you hated this guy before he went to the bathroom. At first I thought you were a girl but now I suspect you are gay and he teases you about it. Straight guys don't call another guy a filty animal. Well maybe Richard Simmonds would.

If you're such a child that you can't plan ahead enough to do your business in a safe clean place, then yes - you must deal with the filth or learn to do the squat. \n\nMost of us simply plan our lives such that we're not suddenly stuck having to take a dump in an unpleasant place.\n\nYou just have to think more than 3 minutes in advance.

Most likely, yes.  Depends on your situation, but I'd suggest checking your employee handbook, if you have one.\n\nIf you are an employee-at-will (non-contract), then what you've effectively done is agreed to work on their terms.  Those terms are generally detailed in an employee handbook of some kind - you know, the one most people throw into the back of some drawer and forget about.  If their terms include proof of illness for sick days taken, there's nothing illegal about it.

That's illegal. A former employer should only confirm that you worked there and your title and the time period that you were employed in that position. That's about it.\n\nI'd get a lawyer.

Your employer can't interfere in your personal matters, however if some matters involve direct consequences to the company in that case they are allowed to a certain extent. If your contract of service does not provide for the things you mentioned then you are not bound to do that.
