People who need to vent and don't want to bother their friends and family, what's wrong?

Man, my boss. I am a custodian and have like 3 supervisors, so I'll refer to the main boss I'm talking about as "Boss" and the other bosses as Supervisors.

I've been at my job for going on 5 years. Over time, I got better and learned to have respect for cleaning instead of resenting it. I'm not perfect, but I try to really put my heart into the job and give it a full effort everyday. I always thought that my main boss never really liked me, I have anxiety and sometimes studder when I get nervous, so I think she thinks I'm a weirdo. I work at night, so I don't see her a lot anyways. But, I always just wanted her to at least know that I'm a good worker. I see a lot of people do the bare minimum and miss a lot of stuff and straight up just never buff floors. She always refereed to my previous night supervisor and other coworker as the best workers she ever had. While my night supervisor was by far the most laid back and coolest supervisor I've had so far, they really did the bare minimum. The other coworker was cool too, but did less than the bare minimum. Literally never buffed classroom floors, barely ever moped floors, and never got up any gum. Their section was just dirty, yet they were praised as being one of the best workers at the building and even got a promotion. I don't hold any resentment towards them, but that made me realize that my main boss does not judge a person's work by their actual work, instead my main boss judges them by how much she actually likes them. And I never thought she liked me much since I am quiet, and I have anxiety so I just get really nervous. Idk, I know I'm not perfect and not everybody is going to like, but I'd at least like to be known as a good worker. When both my original night supervisor and coworker left, my main boss started saying things like "This building looked soo much better when they were here". Which was pretty demeaning because we all have our own set sections to clean, so there wasn't 1 person who was keeping the building looking good. My original night lead and coworkers replacements were keeping their sections looking the same if not better. That's when it got terribly obvious that my main boss didn't know what they were talking about.

We got a new guy who works upstairs and he really just rushes through his work. Doesn't buff classrooms, doesn't clean the bathrooms properly, and doesn't use the right kind of mop when he's mops so it's leaves giant spots all over the place when it dries up. We've tried to give him advice and everything, but he just doesn't listen or care. My main boss notices his section but doesn't even blame him. She implied that I was at fault, saying that I should help him. If it were me and my section was that dirty, I know for a fact she'd write me up without blaming anyone else. It all just really sucks man, no matter how good I keep my section or how hard I work, she'll never give me any credit. She gives me average scores on evaluations, while people who don't even do the job properly get amazing scores. I'm not saying this out of jealousy or have any anger towards my coworker. He's a good dude personally. I just think it's messed up that people in powerful positions will judge a person's work based on their personality alone instead of the actual work. This is a physical labor job, personality alone doesn't mop and buff floors, or clean classrooms. It crushes me sometimes. I've stayed hours late to make sure everything cleaned, but will get partially blamed for a section that I'm not even assigned to clean. Even though my previous night lead never helped maintain my section, they will continue to get credit for keeping my section looking good.

I think the thing that hurt most was more recent. When my orginal night supervisor left, we got a temporary supervisor who was related to my coworker. She switch me and my coworkers sections, and I think she did this so either he could work close to her section, or so the main boss would notice him (the downstairs is the first thing you see when you walk into the building). No matter what I said, I could not stop the switch from happening. Literally a day after I got moved upstairs, the temporary supervisor started blaming me for the way the upstairs looked. She said something like "He (my coworker) had the upstairs looking good", implying that I had let the upstairs go to shit. When the fact was my coworker just wasn't maintaining the upstairs properly. I didn't tell anybody that because I didn't want to make him look bad, he's actually a pretty cool dude, but he just rushes through his work and doesn't do everything the right way. I don't have any type of proof, but I just know she told the main boss that I let the quality of the upstairs fall. I eventually got moved back downstairs after summer cleaning, so the whole building was back up. That was about 3 months ago, and since then the upstairs has fallen down in quality since he's been up there. Last week, my main boss said to me "why are YOU downstairs??" "The upstairs looks dirty, you guys need to help him!" "Your coworker was down here first, why in the world did you get moved down here?". The way she those things really hurt man. I'm going to keep the job the best that I can, but that definitely lowered my morale quite a bit. I was downstairs before my coworker was even working at the building, and I never got any credit for how good it looked or looks. Not saying I'm perfect, I could definitely improve. But I don't do the bare minimum man and I really try to put my heart into this work
