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.
One time I was working in a different office than I usually do, and made a comment along the lines of “what’s that smell? Do you guys smell that?” I was mortified to learn after one person left the room that it was his shoes, and they all seemed to think it was funny that I was unknowingly calling this person out.
