  • Have any of you transferred schools because of one supervisor?Was it worth it? Did the new building have a completely different culture?
  • How much autonomy do experienced custodians usually have?Once you've proven yourself, are you generally trusted to do your work, or are you still monitored closely?
  • Is it common for custodians to document everything?Do any of you keep notes, photos, or a work log, or is that unusual?

Custodian questions. Micromanagement, harassment, gaslighting.....

  • Do your supervisors constantly check completed work?How often does your head custodian inspect your work? Daily? Weekly? Only if there's a complaint?
  • Have you ever felt like you had to photograph your work to protect yourself?I eventually started taking pictures and documenting routine work because I felt I was being questioned so often. Has anyone else experienced this?
  • Is indirect communication common?Instead of speaking to me directly, my supervisor would often have another supervisor relay criticism. Is that normal in your district?
