have you ever told a coworker or employee to stop coming to work wearing the cologne or perfume they are wearing?

one of my newest guys recently started to show up wearing a strong cologne. tbh he smells like a manwhore. we are in a warehouse setting with bay doors open and it stinks to high hell. i really don't have the heart to say something. he's relatively new to this country and is working here on a work visa. if he were one of my long term employees then me and a few of the other guys would probably rag him telling him not to come to work smelling "pretty"....i hope he doesn't refill that bottle once it runs out

Never that but did once have a work colleague that didn’t wear either cologne nor deodorant
It was extremely difficult to work with
HR eventually had to approach him and handle it gingerly

@Kiesel i've got one of those too, but he's in a different part of the building and mostly works by himself and takes his breaks separately. i know he takes transit and i really feel for the other riders

@Kiesel We've had a couple of those as well. The last one they had to approach either quit or got fired, Im not sure but she smelled like onions.
