Poor hygeine - co-worker

Again with the co-workers, in a similair situation, if you worked with someone who had bad breath and body
odour, how would you bring it up, like respectfully and what would you say to him, or them?

Depends on the work environment. Where I work, if I said that to someone I’d be reprimanded. They would rather have you bring it up to mgmt. my personal opinion, I feel like I should be able to tell my coworker if they have poor hygiene. It’s a basic life skill, learn it lol.

@TimeStandingStill Yup, one guy said "look I hate to say this to you but you need to wash your clothes, take a shower and use a mouthwash, your mouth smells like something took a dump in it"

@TimeStandingStill I think even management would have a hard time bringing it up though. I mean who wants to open THAT can of worms? Kind of for the same reason the DMV does not question really fat people when they lie about their weight. Falisfying a govt document is illegal but even THEY won't touch that one. Let alone some manage at a work place when some employee be stankin.

@Wol62 That sounded somewhat professional until the mouth smell. But it would be hilarious 🤣
