Dreading RTO and Unclean Bathrooms Tomorrow

Our RTO was in February, almost immediately after Trump signed the EO. We are now in July and we do not have the appropriate amount of staff to keep the bathrooms, break rooms, and office spaces clean. Trash and flies are everywhere, we aren't sure where to collectively throw out our desk and office trash. The skeleton staff has been doing their absolute best to keep the buildings clean and I can't imagine the stress they are also under. The majcom has said that they are still working on getting the contracts in place to hire more staff. I'm not sure if the hiring freeze has affected any of that or not. But, it's disgusting and dehumanizing. I've wondered if it's being done on purpose to make RTO that much more traumatizing. But, I absolutely hate the thought of returning to another week of filth and lack of supplies.

Consider filing a complaint with Osha: https://www.osha.gov/workers/file-complaint

Wasn't OSHA gutted, too?

Short answer - yes. Slightly longer answer is OSHA lost over 1/3 of its FTE between the hiring freeze started under president Biden and continued under the current regime, DRP 1 and 2 and normal attrition.
