At my first job, this never got solved. One day a camera showed up, pointing directly at the communal sink.

I didn't use any of the dishes in the office, so it didn't really bother me. But it seemed like those most bothered by it were the ones leaving messes in the first place, why else would you have a problem with it?

Kind of a culture killer, the important lesson learned is you can't let these issues work themselves out, eventually you'll have a war with two sides.

Leadership matters, even in the most mundane of topics, like dirty dishes.
