There was this situation where a hotel worker went to clean a room that had been vacant for a while. When they opened the closet, a swarm of cockroaches came out. It was not only disgusting but also quite scary for the worker, especially since they had to deal with the mess and make sure no cockroaches were left for the next guest.

For instance, there might be banging sounds in an empty corridor or moaning sounds from a room that is supposed to be vacant.

I've heard that some Walmart workers in certain locations have to work in very poor working conditions. The stores might be under - staffed, so the remaining workers have to take on extra tasks like stocking shelves, cleaning, and cashiering all at the same time. This can be extremely overwhelming. Moreover, during busy seasons like holidays, the workload doubles but the pay doesn't increase proportionally.
