A cleaner got the last laugh over their ‘awful’ manager on the last day of work, with a brilliant note. The woman in question had retired after working cleaning different banks for 35 years, leaving a letter for colleagues. The note was then shared by her son on Twitter, and got an amazing response with most people loving the message. It was posted with the caption: “And this is why I love my mum. She’s been cleaning banks for 35 years and today walked out with this lovely note left behind for that awful manager.
“Happy retirement mum – always have the last laugh eh!”
The note posted in the tweet reads: “Hi ladies, tomorrow will be my last clean for HSBC. I have made up a bucket of cleaning materials for the next cleaner whoever that may be!!
“I’ve left the job [manager’s name] after the way you dressed me down in the office, it was nothing more than aggressive and cruel but that’s a reflection on your character, not mine.
“So going forward, please all of you remember: In a world when you can be anything, BE KIND.
“Because you are all no better than the cleaner.”

After the post went viral, people were quick to respond to the letter.
One person said: “When interviewing people for jobs, I always asked the reception staff how they were treated by the candidate. A few failed the ‘attitude test’.”
A second added: “Never understood why people think what they do for a living reflects their importance.
“I was raised to believe that a job is a job and anyone getting up and going to work deserves the same respect, whether they pick up trash or run the company.” A third said: “One of my male managers was repeatedly rude to our lovely cleaner. One day she calmly got up, disappeared for a few mins then reappeared with a really smug look on her face. “He later discovered she’d removed the bog rolls, towels & soap from the men’s loos, locked them up”.
