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.
oh man… have you contacted HR? because seriously, it’s horrible to work with someone smelly. It’s not that hard to have 2-3 pairs of shoes to rotate to prevent this. I know I used to have smelly feet before I did that (not so bad that people told me about it at work, but none of my friends told me either so I guess with my shoes on it was okay).
