Is your office kitchen a toxic wasteland?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The AJC recently ran a story about office kitchen etiquette. The article includes tips on how to be courteous and polite when using the office kitchen.
But anyone that’s ever worked in an office environment knows that there are always a few people that don’t play by the rules. At every company I’ve ever worked for, there has always been food stealing. It’s one thing if you accidentally grabbed the wrong Lean Cuisine out of the freezer, but come on, you know if you did or didn’t make homemade chili last night. And can we just ban people putting soda cans in the freezer? No one ever remembers to get it out before it explodes all over creation, and then the offenders never clean it up!
So if you’ve ever been annoyed by your messy, lazy and sloppy co-workers, here’s your chance to vent. We want to hear about your pet peeves with your office kitchen. Are people messy? Do they cut in front of you in the microwave line? Do they take the last of the coffee and not make another pot? Is your cubicle neighbor determined to eat stinky foods at his desk? Let us know if your office kitchen is more of a pain than a perk.
