Cleaners wanted: scandal over luxury service for Celle's refugees!

The city of Celle is causing a stir: new staff are being sought to clean refugee accommodation! Imagine: Instead of residents having to pick up a broom themselves, paid cleaners should take over the cleaning - and not too little. This exciting development could be the start of another chapter in the German bureaucratic miracle, as Ekaterina Quehl points out Reitschuster.de reported. The job advertisement sounds as spectacular as it is unbelievable: Cleaners are supposed to clean the villas for a gross salary of between 2,000 and 2,483 euros. There's even a hardship allowance - and the Bavarian pretzels and Arabic bread are included.

And now let's be honest: Why can't the residents just swing the mop themselves? Apparently there is not only a lack of personal responsibility, but also a well-thought-out concept. Perhaps there is a completely different tactic behind it: Should the accommodation be upgraded to luxury hotel standards using state-paid cleaning staff? A piquant idea, but one that has a bitter aftertaste. Strictly speaking, this is really where we put the owl on the globe: expensive cleaning for the state treasury, and that only because no one trusts themselves to keep the rooms clean.

There are even more surprises as we progress

Particular attention is paid to the fact that this work also includes hazard pay. What? Dangerous? Yes, strangely enough, because it's probably not just dust and dirt that awaits you with this type of work. The question arises as to why the residents cannot take it on themselves. The reason could lie in the existing regulations, because with a residence permit as an asylum seeker, regular work in Germany is severely restricted.

A reader smugly comments that he works in an asylum home where cleaning staff support dedicated men every day. The full service covers all areas of life, including doctor's visits and social gatherings. However, it remains unclear whether this route serves integration or the misuse of public resources.

Indignant voices and irresponsibility

Many people are rightly asking themselves whether this is the best use of tax money. Why do we create new problems instead of addressing existing ones? With every thought in this direction, the spiral of despair tightens. This is where we come full circle: money is being spent, but are we really prepared to take responsibility for it? For all concerned, the hope remains that one day solutions will come into view that have less to do with a luxury hotel and more to do with a practical approach, like the astonishing report from Instagram shows.
