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...

😲 WHAT?! That's ridiculous
...
And God forbid you try to use soap when washing your hands, too!
...
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!
...
this story is the most ridiculousthing I have ever heard you probably tried to throw the wipes at someone or something. 😎
...
I wish I could take a picture......
...
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.
...
No cell phones allowed in the buiding.... automatic termination.... no camera's recorders, even paper
...
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.
...
We have to have OSHA and FMLA and 3 other posters up at each of our stores.
...
We do here as well but that is because Gevity requires it. I have worked at a few small businesses where this was over looked.
...
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.
...
They can't bring in paper, thus no petition.
...
Can't bring in paper, but can nab some out of a printer somewhere, I'm sure there's a ream or two in the building.
...
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...
...
I don't have access to email, printer, fax..... anything like that
whats osha's number?
...
working underneath Hitler going for you?
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.
...
Yeah.... i'm gonna do something..... there are a bunch of oily brown stains on my desk at this very second that I am scared to find out what they are
...
That's just f*cking repulsing.
...
If it makes you feel better, I've got a filthy desk too.
u.u
...
This whole thread is making me want to clean my store.
...
I wish I could clean this place... Sitting down to a repulsive desk and seeing the greesey surface before you have to feel it is just wrong on so many levels.
...
*shivers in disgust
No wonder call centers always have people out sick!
...
Well, if the end of man is viruses and bacteria... it will start with this place.
...
🤣 Forget Africa the new strains of Filo Viruses will be coming from the call centers! I feel sorry for you.
...
The fact that everyone here smells like stale B.O that has grown mold and THEN went rancid makes it even worse
...
Oh, gee whiz! Thanks for a mental image that I'll never get out of my mind!
...
..... props on the pun......
...
Defiantly, that was my first thought too, scream for OSHA and don't stop screaming until they make your working conditions sanitary.
...
WWW.OSHA.gov is the web address. If you tell me what state you work in I can also get you their local contact number. 😉
...
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.
...
Is there a Houston number?
...
Thanks...... i will give em a call
...
do you live in california?
...
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.
...
😁 I know I just have a demented mind when it comes to revenge. You dont even want to know what Id do to a customers phone if given the chance lol
...
Something along the lines of "Yessir I will help you....." and then procede to extend their contract and tack on every extra charge you can with a special memo that says "Don't let cust rebute charges!!!!!"
...
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.
...
that is so weird. when i worked in a call center, we were encouraged to bring in the clorox wipes.
...
i'm confused. you don't have access to e-mail or anything, but you can get on phonescoop forums during work?
that's pretty disgusting. i would tell her to take the crusty pile of leftover vomit and shove it up...well, you know where i'm going with this.
...
it's technically defined as a competitor website.... everything else is blocked blocked
...
haha mine is classified as a competitor website too

ok and you work where?? i just want to make sure i dont EVER accidentally stumble across that place and try for a job
...
It's a third party center in Houston
...
I'd take a big wet sh*t in a ziploc bag, sneak it in as Thai food, microwave it, open the bag and spin around in circles 🤣
...
naw, don't open it, just punch a couple of holes in the baggie, then spin around..... That will distribute better. (Don't ask me how I know that)
...
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.
