A conversation on Oceans. In any shared office space, the kitchen is gross. People leave tons of gross stuff in it. I don’t even notice messes, and sometimes I notice. If you don’t have cleaners, this can become a problem, because there’s normally one person who can’t stand it, and gets mad at everyone else with passive aggressive notes and signage. Even though everyone shares the kitchen, no one cares enough to own the responsibility, so it gets pretty “Yuck”. This is the “Tragedy of the Commons” in a nut shell. People work out of their own self ownership, not out of the collective shared space. And even though this is normal, people still get upset, at the group for not washing their own dishes. Side note: Sorry I’m not sorry that I’m one of those people who leaves dishes.
