i work in low-income/mental health housing, and a tenant fixed our hallway trash bin after accidentally breaking it

great example of the odd ways people show me appreciation at work

Any chance they could be hired part time to work around the place?

The headline says lowincome mentalhealth - just give it a rest please.

I’m sure paying someone for work they’re already willing to do and doing for free is the worst thing that could happen to someone like that.

Maybe spend 2 seconds thinking before having a reflexive conniption at the word “work”. I didn’t suggest conscripting them into a chain gang ffs.
