I work in a hospital and I've seen some lazy people working there in the years I've been employed there. I've also seen some taking really disgusting short cuts.
The cafeteria closed for service at 7pm. Right at 7pm they would pull out the vacuum cleaner to vacuum the rugs in the seating area, and they would bang around your feet and under the table you were eating at or tell you to move to another table, even if you were in the middle of eating. I wasn't thrilled about having someone vacuuming when I was eating, because not only is it noisey and I want to relax, but it's bad enough I have to walk through all of those germs, I sure didn't want to be eating or inhaling them.
They also had some guy on the cleaning staff that would mop the floor around midnight or so and then use the water fountain to rinse his floor mop, and he would also use that same mop to wash the area above the salad bar.
I was so disgusted by all of these things that I reported each incident to the supervisors for the area.
The guy who was using the water fountain to rinse his mop was fired in time because many complained about his work ethic. The cleaning ritual of the rugs in the cafeteria was also changed. The rugs were vacuumed during the night, and not while people were sitting there eating their dinner at 7pm.
So what disgusting things have you seen at your work place and what did you do about it?
