Being in my own office cleaning business since 1992 has taught me one major life lesson. Nowadays, you hear people say ” that’s not my job”. Many people do as little as possible at work instead of the most possible.

There have been many times when, there were doors left unlocked that should have been locked. I locked them and left a note regarding this unusual situation. Sometimes an alarm had not been turned on, even though everyone had left for the day.  Again, I corrected it and left a note about this unusual situation.  Sometimes a coffee pot burner had been left turned on and should have been turned off as it was a fire hazard. I turned it off and left a note about it.

My point is, that just because you don’t have to do something, does not mean that you should not do it. Make a little extra effort for the sake of everyone.  Go an extra mile now and then. People will appreciate it and it really says something good about you.
