Someone who comes in at least once a week and cleans our office.

Seriously.

I could go on and on about how our company depends on knowledgeable customer support crew, or our brilliant developers, but the truth is, if it weren’t for my first (and least expensive) hire, we would’ve all drowned in our own filth by now.

It makes all the sense in the world. The folks coming in to clean your office every evening or weekend are responsible for making your company look presentable, and your employees healthy and happy. So take advantage of the cleaning services provided by your office building, or, if that isn’t provided, go ahead and hire someone yourself. You can use the +1 hire to bump up your stats when you go pitching your wares to venture capitalists.

And if you only do things if they make “business sense”, you pig, I’m quite sure that office cleanliness has a large impact on the quality of work produced by your employees.

And it prevents me from sticking to your floor when I drop by for a visit.
