Edit: just spoke to a supervisor like 15 minutes ago, she assured me she would handle it 🤞🤞
Edit 2: i told him myself. He made a comment about being up front about things so i took that opportunity to let him know what was bothering me, and he took it well. Let’s see how the week improves.
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.
If it were me, I would love it if my coworker would tell me I stunk. Otherwise, I would internalize why no one wants to be around me and think I’m shitty. My preference would be for them to pull me aside somewhere private and directly tell me.
Well, thank the heavens he took it well when i told him. But idk if it’ll be a wake up call or not. He doesn’t wanna talk today which understandable, but again he needed to know.
As someone who has suffered/made others suffer foot odour, might I suggest the easiest way to fix this is cotton socks, highest percentage you can find. I was worried I was gonna have to go down the anti-bacterial foot washing route 3x+ a day, instead after about a week of my normal hygiene routine my feet stopped giving off eye watering stink and even my shoes lost their smell. note: I caught it fairly quickly, only bout a month but the last week was killer. If his has been longer he may still need anti-bacterial soap for a bit until his nails grow out, or see a doctor. Good luck.
Oh, that I didn’t know. might have to look into it for myself also, so thank you!
