Anybody else see this article? Or have to deal with a toxically gross office refeer? Its the one downfall with being frugal. And the personal refrigerator? We already have it...reader, meet the cooler.
I'm thankful that during the summer, we only have 7 people on our floor; this year a couple of people are on vacation, one on a PTO day. I appeared to be the only person to use the floor fridge today. Thank you, jeebus! And my typical lunch/snack these days is brown rice, tofu, hot sauce, along with 2 pieces of string cheese individually wrapped.
And for laughs I posted this article on our refeer. Come October, it might not be so funny.

It probably helps that the boss is a neat freak. I was laughing reading some of those stories. Egads.

The fridge cleaning is a volunteer position handled by a different team each week. Why would someone volunteer for such a job? It is a half hour off the phones - for every 8.5 hours per day we only get 1 hour 7 minutes off the phone (and we are closely tracked). There are about 250 of us in teams of 10-12.

How we avoid the funk?
End of the work day every Friday, EVERYTHING left in the fridges gets tossed ... lunch bags, unopened sodas, etc ... everything, no exceptions.
The cleaning staff does it (there are hundreds of employees so we have full-time cleaning staff).
