>The kitchen area, despite being an office staffed with supposed professionals, is always a mess. How does this happen? Are you staffing a professional cleaner? Expecting software engineers to be good at keeping a kitchen tidy is about as rational as expecting your marketing people to be good at maintaining your servers. I mean, sure, there's a basic level of consideration, and even when I'm at work (where we have a pretty excellent cleaning staff) if you drop something on the floor, you are expected to pick it up so that nobody else steps in it and tracks it all over the place, and people do. But... you can tell that the place would get grungy pretty fast if we didn't have the professional cleaners about. Cleaning is a skill like any other,and some of us are better at it than others... and some of us have higher standards than others. The right way to deal with this in a commercial space is to pay a professional to deal with it, imo.
