Ayup, someone did the same thing one year back when I was in college, on the day before classes began. Around 5-6 PM, this idjit flushed with his foot, broke off the handle, and proceeded to flood the whole dorm floor, side to side. Ruined carpet, ruined everything on the floor for people who weren’t in their rooms to pile stuff on the bed.
Did I mention that we were on the 6th floor? Before they got it turned off, water was dripping from the first floor ceiling. At least I wasn’t on one of the floors under the flood. Total catastrophe.
Are the office toilets cleaned daily? If not, you might want to contact the housekeeping staff.
If the toilet/s is/are dirty, on a regular basis, you are all exposed to some pretty nasty micro-organisms. What does the local Health Authority say?
I’ve worked in a hospital for … ages and ages. I fully agree with the ‘foot flush’
and it works a treat on those “push to flush” toilets, too. However, filthy toilets are a health hazard - get Authority involved ASAP because there will be a direct link between bathroom dirt and sick/absentee staff.
You either have to have the facilities cleaned twice a day minimum OR inquire as to the local rules and regs for cleanliness. And agitate!!

PS People who hover are not well. Treat them with gentleness.
Hey, I learned something today! Of course I probably forgot something to make room too, but…
Whatever the motivations for not wanting to sit or touch the flusher barehanded, I don’t get why people can’t just take the 30 seconds to wipe off the seat with some of the damn toilet paper that’s RIGHT THERE and use a paper towel or a catcher’s mitt or something to protect their fingies from the flush handle. It’s like common courtesy goes right out the window in the washroom.
