    Do you feel like you are above or below janitors on the company org chart? I feel like I'm below...

    My last employers made me feel about as welcome as their rats in their basement. It was time to move on and that's why I did not mind the end at all. Monday I have a meeting with my new employer. One who explicitely expects me to do all those things I was previously not allowed to do.

      Pretty sure the janitors here work for the building owners, not our company, so neither.

          Do you get a Red Swingline 747 Stapler?

          It was broke, so I fixed it.

              They don't follow the same chain of command, so the rank is incomparable.

                No. I will be expected to do what they are paying me for, as opposed to hiring me for a job and then do the exact opposite.

                  The janitors here hate me. I know I'm a little messy, but it is their job to clean. They throw my stuff out all the time.

                      Our janitor is called Penry, so he can pretty much do whatever he wants.

                        At least you have a Janitor to compare to. At my last company, when a toilet broke, or a light bulb needed changing, it was the developers who did it. Apparently we were the only one's intelligent enough to understand such advanced concepts as electricity and plumbing.
