Just started a new job about a month and a half ago. This person in question has already been spoken to by a supervisor about an “odor” about 2 weeks ago, and now it is unbearable.
I like to think I’m a patient person, and pretty considerate of others’ feelings, but i just know that no matter how i word this he’s gonna just take it as being bullied at work rather than taking advice on what needs to change.
If it helps: dude has a girlfriend that he just CANNOT stop texting throughout the day, and it’s obvious that she’s got him on a leash. He keeps misplacing things, and sometimes doing double the work because she won’t leave him alone.
Might be helpless. Give him concrete tips for help. Tell him to wash his shoes, socks and feet in moderately warm water with white vinegar. Don’t use sparingly. Takes care of the problem.
If we even get that far in the talk I’ll try to let him know. But I’m hoping he’ll be receptive instead of just stomping around like the last time he was spoken to.
