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.

    Hmm. There might not be a way around that. At least is constructive critizism. And there’s a good chance it’s some bacteria (as it most often is) and it’ll solve the issue for good. I can’t give any advice on the social norms. I’m mostly thinking in a problem-oriented way…
