When reading Hacker News earlier, I came across the following the following quote, which I’m terming the janitor paradox:

“The bathrooms here are always so clean here, we can fire the janitors!”

It made me realise just how many jobs are invisible but essential to the functioning of society as we know it.

Know of any such obscure jobs that keep things running smoothly? Email me at me@connorgurney.me.uk or send me a webmention.
