should coming to work smelling like ass be considered a write up?
edit i found this online article about how to tell your coworker that they smell i'm laughing so hard who comes up with this shit
[quote]If you have a coworker, friend, or classmate struggling with body odor, use these steps to tell them directly and kindly.#1 Find a private space.2 Be direct and compassionate Some people get anxious when someone asks them to talk. If you see them looking nervous, it’s important to let them know you’re not upset. Instead, you’re looking out for them and want to help them.
You can do this in your next sentence: “I really care about our working relationship and your success, and I’ve noticed that you have [an odor or bad breath].”
Or, if you’re telling a friend, you could tell them, “I care about you a lot and enjoy spending time with you. I have noticed that you recently had [an odor or bad breath] and wanted to take this chance to chat with you about it.”
While being this direct may feel nerve-wracking, it’s one of the best ways to show that it isn’t that big of a deal. Spending an extra 5 minutes beating around the bush may communicate that you think it’s embarrassing.
Pro Tip: Some people will feel uncomfortable being addressed directly, especially about a sensitive topic like smell. If you know the person well and think they would not like this approach, try sending them an email instead. [/quote]
the first suggestion made me bust out laughing
