Two days ago I got written notice by mail that I was fired, by our home cleaning crew, that is. I was shocked, but I think it will work out for the best. Here’s what the notice said (typos included):
“Dear Andy & Jessica;
This letter is to inform you of your last cleaning with _______ on August 29, 2013. __________ will be arriving for the final clean approximately 8:15. We will not be returning to your home to do any cleaning services after August 29, 2013.
It is in our best interest to move on and pursue other opportunities. I wish you the best in finding a cleaning service that will fulfill your needs.
Sincerely,
_________”
My mind has been busy working to develop the top theories for our termination. I’ve never really interacted with the crew since I’m always at work when they come and Andy and the boys are home. I’ve been a good source of referrals for them so business must be going good for them to cut us loose. Andy said that the owner had told him in the past that she fires clients who complain too much. My top theories for our termination are:
1. The crew didn’t like cleaning with Andy and the boys home messing it up as they went
2. They crew couldn’t be paid enough to clean up Andy’s disgusting toilet
3. The crew didn’t like working up a sweat while Andy stayed out of the way by surfing the web
4. We complained too much about something
