If you find yourself frequently left in the kitchen, it’s time to devise ways of getting your colleague to do her or his fair share of the washing up.

Tomorrow’s another day

Be ready for excuses. Claims of sensitive skin can be countered with supplies of rubber gloves, or chemical-free washing-up liquid. They lack the time? Offer to act as a temporary life-coach; organise their day. Only for one day, mind. They have to get home urgently? They’ve gone? Now, where’s that dish cloth…
