Someone nuked their lunch & left the break room microwave splattered. They did a lousy wipe-down, but it was still gross. Am I being unreasonable to think the person who makes the mess should actually clean it up right away? Because guess who usually ends up scrubbing it later when no one else does? Yep, me. It's not even my main job! What do you all think - is expecting basic cleanup from colleagues too much these days?

It goes without saying that the person who made the mess should clean it up. But there are a lot of characters in the business world today who pride themselves on being rude and not giving a damn about anyone else. If you're told to clean up the microwave and it's not part of your job, you should let your manager know you don't appreciate being treated as the janitor. Maybe your manager can offer remedial training in how to live in polite society? Just a suggestion.

Nope, not too much to ask. I’m an admin, not the office mom. But somehow, I always end up doing the tasks that no one else bothers with.

I give things in the office break room a wipe down often. Light maintenance, when it comes to actual messes though, those should be handled by the person that made them. Cleaning up after yourselves is a basic thing to do. Slippery slope for people to just think leaving their mess everywhere is appropriate.

Hi Google - I am requesting guidance!

I am prepping for my interview specifically GCA and open ended questions.

Is the desired outcome something I can clarify with the interviewer?
