Members misterhinkydink Posted September 21, 2007 Members Share Posted September 21, 2007 I work with a rather cute East Indian girl but some days she smells like a goat and today is one of those days. I can smell her two offices away. Sometimes I have to help her and I can only stay in her office a couple of minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SA Rios Posted September 21, 2007 Members Share Posted September 21, 2007 We had a guy at work a few years ago that didn't have the best hygiene. It got to the point where the boss actually called him into the office to discuss it. He basically told him that he needed to start cleaning himself and use deodorant. When you think about it, it really is offensive and disruptive to be smelly at work and supervisors should not be shy about confronting stinky people.

I don't know if it's hygiene and/or the food she eats but it's definitely coming from her body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a neighborhood in Chicago's north side that is about 100% Indian. If you drive down that street on a hot summer day it just reeks of curry.

Members REMUS Posted September 21, 2007 Members Share Posted September 21, 2007 I used to go to a gaming lan where a kid called martin had a {censored}ing aweful bo problem, we just bullied him until he started using the shower more and antiperspirant. meh i'm not gonna lie! and it did him good... in the end But in this situation... where you might get fired for such an act, it might be best just to tell a superior and then let him sort it out.

If it's that much of a problem and your supervisor won't do anything about it, go to HR. Seriously. If a formal complaint goes to the HR department, they're obligated to deal with it, and they're also obligated to keep your name confidential.

Members Fran da Man Posted September 21, 2007 Members Share Posted September 21, 2007 If it's that much of a problem and your supervisor won't do anything about it, go to HR. Seriously. If a formal complaint goes to the HR department, they're obligated to deal with it, and they're also obligated to keep your name confidential.This is the USA and that will backfire right in your face, then the complainers will be accused of harassment. Trust me i know firsthand on this. We had a woman that had more dogs, cats, birds, and farm animals than you could shake a stick at, the dogs (21) and cats(?) lived right in the singlewide trailer with her and her husband. You talk about "wetdog" at 6:30 first thing in the morning, no one would even sit on her side of the room and it was a big room for morning meetings, it would linger and stay strong on her for an entire 12 hour shift. Well we all complained...the managers didn't know how or want to approach the problem, so we went to HR and the Plant Nurse, well she cleaned up for about 2 days and that was it, another complaint made, told to stop picking on her and if we wanted something done to form our own little committee to confront her...then came her tears and boo hooing to HR and we were then told in no uncertain terms to leave her alone or chance being written up. In hinkeydinks case if she's a foreigner he doomed...she has 2 minority status' on her side...female and foreign. Pray for him EDIT: a to add to the above, and this is no lie...you could smell her truck in the parking lot from like 50 feet away. I {censored} you not.
