I have been out sick four times in the last three months. Three weeks ago I watched some girl puke all over her cubicle and get up and leave without cleaning it up. No one has cleaned it up to this very day. Seats are first come first serve here and there is no one who cleans the desks at all.

After getting sick (literally) and disgusted by looking at peoples half eaten finger nails trapped in my keyboard, or trying to identify the sticky spot on my desk that I just accidentally put my hand in, or even seeing someone's booger collection on the carpeted wall of the cubicle I decided to take action.

I started bringing Clorox disinfecting wipes and cleaning whatever dest I sat at for the day. The people on my team joined in and our entir...

They don't even use cleaner here.... just water.... to wash the floor (they start in the bathrooms and go through the break room than the main floors.... same bucket) and the tables.... all because that stupid wh0re won't research the safety protocols for soap!

Is there a dress code at your place of work? I'd start wearing rubber gloves and a paper mask to work every day. If they wont clean it, you can still be healthy and you'll be making a point.

You might also want to contact OSHA.

What he said, OSHA will have the rules and regulations the janitors are supposed to be following. As well as approved cleaners and chemicals for different jobsite reqirements. Use that wonderful camera in your phone and document and send messages to your HR department and any other VP you can think of that would overcome the janitor's pettiness.

So you couldn't even "draw" the mess. Leaving human excrement (which includes vomit) on a desk for weeks without cleaning is a biological hazard. They could get the pants sued off them. I say go past HR and talk to OSHA directly. If they fire you, you've got a wrongful termination suit on your hands.

Its too bad that they don't monitor more buisnesses like they do food service. For instance any food service job you work at will have all safty protocols posted in plain site not to mention OSHAs' phone number to report violations. This should be mandatory at all forms of buisness.

And you work for a Cellphone company? That's just wrong. You could circulate a petition documenting the conditions and pass that on to the powers that be. When I worked at Speigel, we had a similar problem, it was solved when three entire shifts refused to log in without antibacterial wipes. The very next day, they had them at every terminal.

Good idea. They may not have access to printers though. If it's a call center they wouldn't have reason to be printing much out. Maybe a fax machine though...

No paper, cell phones, wipes? I would seriously bet that if you contacted the higher ups within your company, as well as HR, as well as OHSA, someone would come to your side.

Other than that, I would never take that sh*t from your boss.

You should absolutely file a complaint. You can do it anonymously if you want. Not only can you claim an unsafe work environment but you can also claim discrimination within 30 days if you bring this hazard to your superiors attention and they threaten you with discipline.

If I were you, I would be calling OSHA, The state board of Health, The local media tv stations, EVERYONE, that is friken disgusting.

Keep bringing disinfecting wipes, if you get fired, sue sue sue for unlawful termination.

Either all that, or you can take a crap in the middle of the floor and see how long it stays there until someone cleans it up. Puke in some PC towers, on your supervisors key .. Sneak some rotten gutted fish in and leave them in garbage cans, filing cabinets, printers, faxes, everything. If they want the place and ecological disaster, might as well help speed up the process.

No like rub the speaker/mic part of their phone on certain dirty things/body parts/objects in the restroom..

haha but good ideas

One of the funniest, yet best revenge things I heard of someone doing is shoving a bunch of cotton from a Q-Tip or something down this guys Moto Q headphone jack and it was packed down in there tight. Sucks when he will have to return the headphones he bought with them haha.. however that rep is no longer with the company for other reasons.

Id say just take a crap in the bathroom and dont flush, have about 3 people do that at the same time. 2 People did this at one of my old jobs, they left a huge mess (use your imagination) and the bathroom had to be closed for a week while a professional biohazard team cleaned up.
