Ugh…I can’t stand “Glide Path”. Our management is always on a Glide Path to some goal. Makes me want to tell them to invest in an engine so we could get there faster.

Dirty dishes I can handle…but hearing management speak like “moving forward” is likely to make me go postal.

perhaps it’s just me…..but, I wouldn’t want people who just had their hands in the shitter to be cleaning the office dishes.

It be so epic if the GPS had the voice of Macho Man Randy Savage.

The trees are suffocating! Someone needs to put a sign by the printer where all these are coming from about how it’s for business only; not passive-aggressive and threatening break-room notes.

I think a GPS voice would be a lot more fun.

“There are dishes in the sink. Please wash and put them away.”

Think of the fun insanity!!

The green thumb sign says:
———–
ALL 10th floor staff and visitors:

The plastic cups provided in the kitchen are everyone’s responsibility to wash and put away in the cupboard. The night cleaning staff Do Not wash any of our dishes but they do clean the sinks – anything being left in the sinks are being piled in the dish tray – these dishes are dirty!

The dish tray is only for clean dishes and to be put away each day before you leave – or so the other sign indicates they will be thrown out.

Please do your part to keep dishes, counters and kitchen clean – it only makes sense with all of us using this area.

We can do this with everyone pitching in. Thanks!

—————

Which leads me to:

Why are visitors included in this note? I can’t imagine having customers in for a meeting, and then telling them they have to wash their coffee cups.

If you don’t want dirty dishes in the tray, tell the cleaning staff to stop putting dirty dishes in the tray! From your note, they’re the ones doing that.

“Anything (being left in the sinks) ARE bing piled in the dish tray?” “Anything”, while it could mean a bunch of dishes, is still a singular noun.

The disk rack is to be put away every night?

And the winner is…! What I would like to know is who feels they have the necessary power to demand such things in the first place from the staff. Mutual agreement is one sign, and one happy, happy family.

Why would anyone reasonably sane actually want to wash dishes? Buy a ****ing dishwasher or use paper plates/cups. Washing dishes FTL.

Pshaw! Everyone knows that in order to take an office policy seriously it must be printed in Comic Sans and have at least three exclamation points. No wonder the message isn’t getting out!
