How would you handle this.

I had orientation for a new job and when I went to the department I'd be working in, they have their own break room with sink, microwave and fridge. It was nasty snd dirty back there. When I opened the fridge, it was full of stuff and smelled like rotten food. When I said something about it, the supervisor said oh it's probably just the fries in that take out box. But it didn't smell like fresh food to me. Now I have to bring my own cleaning supplies and take it upon myself on one of the first days I work and clean, clean, clean. I told the woman in HR about it, she said oh I believe it because when I worked that department, I had to clean up all the time. She said she would send them an email about it. But even if people kinda cleaned it out, it will still be nasty

Its up to the job to clean it up there are cleaning crew cleaning the restrooms i assume at your job so i guess either you play a game of chicken and avoid useing any unclean facilities so instead if microwave either bring a thermos or eat cold sandguiches or keep bringing it up to human resources again and again. Its kind of just a bad part of that work enviroment it comes with the job its unfortunate to live with but whatever you do dont clean anything up its not your fault or mess then dont clean it you will become relied on. Infact do anything but clean. Also if you knew who did it thats who should be the focus on trying to push like hr should push them into cleaning.

It’s incumbent upon any workplace to maintain a stable, clean, and healthy workplace.

I’d fire off a long winded, well worded email to the President, Vice, HR head, OSHA, and the board of health, and queue them all into the same email.

Pompous leadership will likely fire back without realizing you queued in the last 2 suggestions.

Federal law says you’re protected from retaliation for up to six months.

Clean it up or call the health department. Easy.
I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole myself. It isn't in your job description, leave it alone.
Call the health department and let them pay the company a visit to see it. That will get someone on it pretty quick.
