BY NOT CLEANING IT UP, YOU ARE BASICALLY TELLING WHOEVER FOLLOWS THAT THEIR TIME IS LESS VALUABLE, AS THEY WILL HAVE TO SCRUB OUT YOUR DISGUSTING SPLATTER.
I did not know that (seems to be because the spellchecker thinks all caps equals acronyms/initialisms), and it seems like bad design to me, but if someone wanted to, they could 1) write it out in regular old mixed case, 2) spellcheck it, and 3) switch it to all caps, using a menu item that all word-processing software has, for that shouty feel that really let you get your point across. I assume this three-step process is beyond the capacity of most people.
That's what I don't understand. Who on earth puts crockery in the bin? It would also be theft of company property to dispose of a perfectly functional item.
Utterly wild! But I recently heard that a lot of Americans only use disposable plates and cutlery at home to avoid washing up? Is that true or more nonsense internet propaganda?
Definitely not a lot. Maybe some people, somewhere (our country really varies a lot in diff areas) but I’ve never known anyone to do that, and I’ve lived in 12 states. The only thing I can think of, is college kids. Maybe people experiencing poverty, but that still doesn’t make sense to me, bc you can easily get regular dishes even from dollar or thrift stores for super cheap, or free from people moving etc. It would be more expensive to buy disposable.
For anyone who couldn't understand here's the TLDR;
DISHWASHER USE IS REQUIRED
Disposal of dishes when dishwashers are available is unacceptable.
It is not the job of Office Services or Custodians to wash your dishes.
Please be respectful of your colleagues' time.
If you made the mess, clean it up.
My company provides both wooden cutlery and silverware. Originally it was only silverware but people kept stealing it, so it became disposable/wooden cutlery for a couple years. We now have both, silverware to be used only in the cafeteria, but I have a colleague who just dumps the silverware in the bin now.......
Our company has all these "rules to live by" and one of them is to "sweep the floors". This is more about going the extra mile, but it sometimes literally includes sweeping the floors. I am a team player and try to follow this rule up to and including sweeping the floors...but I will be GODDAMNED if I EVAR wash their dishes! I clean the kitchen quite frequently and just pile the dishes on the counter. We've got signs and everything and come on...we're adults. Someone eventually does it whether its the person who used them or not...but it will NEVAAARR be me🤣
We had to put up a sign asking people to wipe their sh1t up if their failed attempt at using the toilet results in them decorating the cubicle. Another sign had to go up about putting endless amounts of paper down and blocking them. People are so fucking gross and then they expect the lowest paid to clean up after them. Bastards.
The president of my last company threatened to lock the kitchen and just deny us access when the selfish idiots just left their mess for the rest of us to deal with. He was talked down and we just muddled along in the end. There were some of us who thought we should set up hidden cameras to catch the assholes (kidding, not kidding.)
I had a colleague years back who would throw away his fork instead of washing and drying it. After a few weeks of complaints, we had to use plastic forks. Nobody ratted him out either even though everyone knew it was him
TO WHOEVER MADE THE MICROWAVE MESS:
THE MICROWAVE IS A SHARED KITCHEN APPLIANCE.
BY NOT CLEANING IT UP, YOU ARE BASICALLY TELLING WHOEVER FOLLOWS THAT THEIR TIME IS LESS VALUABLE, AS THEY WILL HAVE TO SCRUB OUT YOUR DISGUSTING SPLATTER.
SINCERELY,
DISAPPOINTED
How would wiping it with a paper towel make it worse?
Clean it up ≠ wipe with paper towel
These are quotes from The Office lol
lol I can remember every song in existence but quotes, not so much. Thanks
Np! :)
IS THAT WHERE MY WORK GOT IT FROM?!
"Sincerely, disappointed". Get off your high horse, richie.
Just because they like things clean doesn't mean they're rich.
Nah.. They're rich
It smells like popcarn
All those gross typos really help convey the author's anger and spite.
TBF it's 100% justified anger and spite
Yeah, genuinely, if they have a dishwasher it takes the same time to put your dish there than it does to dump it into a sink.
I guess maybe an extra second, or two, to rinse large debris from it.
Having to install CCTV to monitor a dishwasher is pretty mental for a place full of grownups.
Exactly and I think OP is mad because they are the problem
What typos?🫣
"Diposal", "avilable", "disrespectuful", "escalted". Spellcheck costs nothing but some people just couldn't be bothered.
From what I've learned in r/oldpeoplefacebook spell check doesn't work with all caps
I did not know that (seems to be because the spellchecker thinks all caps equals acronyms/initialisms), and it seems like bad design to me, but if someone wanted to, they could 1) write it out in regular old mixed case, 2) spellcheck it, and 3) switch it to all caps, using a menu item that all word-processing software has, for that shouty feel that really let you get your point across. I assume this three-step process is beyond the capacity of most people.
I'm genuinely impressed they managed to spell
coliguescoleguescoleagues“Are unacceptable” should be is
I don't know what "disposal" is, but if they're trying to say "disposal", I'm totally on board their outrage.
Throwing away dishes instead of cleaning them is insane.
That's what I don't understand. Who on earth puts crockery in the bin? It would also be theft of company property to dispose of a perfectly functional item.
People do this at my job all the time. Especially forks. We have plastic forks now because people were throwing them away instead of washing them
Please excuse me for a minute while my brain explodes.
Crockery in the bin. Love it
My office is completely out of silverware after having a full set. No one knows what happened to them. We’re now on plasticware.
It was a slow decline. I think they got thrown away- which is just insane to me.
"in an effort to reduce plastic waste, employees will need to provide their own silverware for meals going forward."
Wasteful, lazy animals. Maybe if they have to throw away their own money they'd be more inclined to act civilized.
Sounds good on paper until you find your coworker eating your lunch with your fucking spork
Amateur. Always keep your spork in your pocket.
Commoner. Always keep your spork in a velvet lined minaudière.
Cutlery, toilet paper and a lightbulb - all eventualities covered.
To be fair if it was a slow decline then maybe it was accidental. I am missing a few pieces of silverware in my house and ive no idea where they went.
Or one bad actor doing the damage over time

A lot? No. Some? Definitely.

I’m still confused; are people THROWING AWAY actual dishes??? Instead of putting them in the dishwasher? Wtf if that’s the case

We now have both, silverware to be used only in the cafeteria, but I have a colleague who just dumps the silverware in the bin now.......
I’ve never worked anywhere that has had a mfff dishwasher.
Ive spoken English as my 1st language for over 50 years but im not entirely sure what that sign is supposed to convey.
UK offices provide flatware & dishes in staff kitchens?
All the offices I have worked in certainly do. Do you all bring your own plates & cutlery from home round your way?
Everyone just orders from restaurants every day. No, really. If you bring food from home you usually eat it from your tupperware.
Yes : Tupper ware or something like a sandwich wrapped in disposable foil is the norm in the US.
Oh, right! Yes, I do that, too, if things are very busy and I have to eat at my desk.
are there actually places that don't?
And people wonder why people want to WFH…..office “culture” such bullshit
Being petty and wasting our time forcing people to come into the office,…. Youre gonna get pettiness back
Diposal?

Yeah no way, pick that up, Jannie.
I had a colleague years back who would throw away his fork instead of washing and drying it. After a few weeks of complaints, we had to use plastic forks. Nobody ratted him out either even though everyone knew it was him
whats the tldr?
Yeah but 'disposal of dishes'...
Is somebody throwing out plates? Because that's possibly more unhinged than this sign.
r/engrish as well. My poor head reading that.
