I did this for a period of time as a federal employee. You see people's interesting (read: dirty) habits and learn that there's simply no amount of trash cans, disinfectant wipes, and cleaning supplies that can be provided (for "free" by the government) that will have people clean up after themselves.
I've also seen some interesting behaviors as certain people will become very territorial over their preferred workstation, and generally the quality of workstations in general is lower as it becomes easier to move to a new workstation than try to fix the issue, or file a "ticket".
Cables & docking station parts go missing, keyboards get breadcrumbs & soda, chairs disappear (?!), etc. Once accountability for personal space goes away it seems a certain level of apathy kicks in
