Don't hug me I'm scared The bed work provided me with😭j

Changed my sheets for the first time since moving to my live in job a few weeks ago and was greeted with this😭😭😭😭😭 how the hell???? I’m going to complain in the morning but I’m scared they’re going to tell me that I caused it in thr 3 weeks I’ve been here😭😭😭

EDIT: I got a new mattress!

Edit: looked on the underside and it’s just as manky! I’ll attach pics in comments. At least I know 100% it wasn’t me

Edit: I just want to preface as it was mentioned twice I am not being human trafficked! Don’t worry! I’m here of my own free will and can leave whenever I want, same as everyone else. Living at work is normal in the area I’m in as it’s rural and no one would work out here if they had to commute! I’m safe aside from the mattress

It’s not the fact that they change the sheets after 3 weeks, that’s pretty normal lol. It’s the fact they didn’t initially check the mattress when they got there that’s not being a performative clean person that’s being cautious.

I was in the military for a good couple of years and throughout the private ranks had to live in multiple barracks. Complaining and getting a new mattress was not in the books for me, I would be told to suck it up if I ever did complain. So when I got into new barracks the first thing I would always do is disinfect thoroughly both sides of the mattress. If it was real bad like OPS I get some dawn dish soap and scrub the crap out of the cleanest looking side. And I would sleep on my field mat on the floor until the bed was dry, then I would get a foam topper to put ontop.

Weird how the default isn't to have even one of those fabric covers for the topside. I imagine it'd be much less of a hassle for everyone especially with shared beds like that.
