Cleaning the protestant kindergarten
My mom gets mobbed by her boss at her job cleaning the protestant "free church" kindergarten in Bad Godesberg. Around 5 years ago, he inherited the position through retirement of her former boss due to age. Because he was employed the longest, and not because of qualification. After all, he was a child care worker. My mom has been working there for about as long. Her former boss was older than her, and a really nice woman. My mom is a professional. She has been trained, and has been cleaning for more than 20 years. Mostly in nursing homes, hotel, and kindergarten.
Her boss now is younger than my mom, and likes inventing shit and throwing sand in her gearbox. This is not the only job my mom has. The kindergarten does not get cleaned by her everyday, because this is a so called "mini job" for her. Once each week someone else is cleaning there. This "other person" changes every so often, and they are never as reliable, or clean for that matter. And my mom has to pick up the slack. For example, by removing their smear marks on mirrors and toilets.
Maybe if you surround yourself with children all the time, you become one of them. He doesn't seem to respect adults either way. Making a living with an endless stream of children, without growing up and making progress, doesn't sound fun to me. For a person in his position, he also communicates very unclearly in his native language.
