HR Tip: Messy shared spaces—like bathrooms, kitchens, and break rooms—can be a serious sore spot in any office. You may have even found yourself posting notes on the walls with messages like, “Dirty dishes in the sink will be thrown away at the end of the day.” But if at all possible, it’s best to get out ahead of these problems before they start (or at least before they blow up). Scheduled reminders—like a monthly email or posting on the fridge—can be a good way to communicate your expectation without looking like you are reacting to a particular person or situation.

Did you know? Oregon just passed the first state-wide population density-based minimum wage in the United States, and if successful it will have addressed one of economists’ main concerns about sweeping federal and state-wide increases: rural areas struggle uniquely with the increased cost of labor and job losses are disproportionate in areas with weaker economies.
