A work rant redux!

OSHA
1910.141(a)(4)(ii)

All sweepings, solid or liquid wastes, refuse, and garbage shall be removed in such a manner as to avoid creating a menace to health and as often as necessary or appropriate to maintain the place of employment in a sanitary condition.

Since you are HR tell him that in order to comply with OSHA standards he'll have to either clean up after himself or hire a full time bathroom attendant. If that doesn't work maybe a "surprise" visit from an OSHA inspector is warranted. ;)
 
Hi Laura

Is this the same boss who is grossly overweight, drinks lots of Pepsi but doesn't eat anything all day?

I know you said you like the boss and all, but personally I don't know how you have managed to put up with him. I wouldn't be able to especially if I had hold it till lunch time cuz of his inconsiderate pigstyle.

Hm.. wonder if this could be considered a hostile working environment?

Oh lordy, that is just perfect! Thank you so much! Considering this is muni govmt I'm thinking this might just get his attention....

Penny, he really is an OK guy & he treats employees very well. He's just a slob & for some reason he cultivates this image, he thinks it's endearing. He has no class & it's partially inentional.

But if I ever hurt, or need something, or am feeling down, or am frustrated, or need to rant, he's there for me. Sometimes you have to do a cost/benefit analysis in these situations & no matter how mad someone makes you, if you know that someone cares about you there's gotta be some flexibility, you know?

So I come here & vent, & get great advice! :)

No problem. Glad I could help! I actually had to copy and paste the sanitation guidelines a few weeks ago when our water was out from 9:15 am until 4:30 p.m. and they didn't shut down our office of 100+ employees. No running water = no flushing toilets and NO HAND WASHING! Eww! Although they wouldn't let us go home, after about 4 hours they did allow us to leave and run to the local gas station (or for me since I live so close I just ran home) whenever the urge came. Believe me it wasn't a pretty sight and the best thing was our CFO had to fill each toilet's tank with water they bought from Kroger to flush them around 4:00 as the smell got so bad! I think after seeing the aftermath of 20 NASTY (and I do mean just utterly funky!) toilets he'll be letting us leave for the day if it happens again. Serves him right ;)
