Has any of you ever been warned by an employer about improving your personal hygiene ?
Question:
Answers:
Uh.. no. I'm tempted to make this into a joke, but I think you should also know that, unless we're talking about a hygiene issue that impairs you or fellow co-workers from fulfilling the job description, it's not appropriate for your employer to publicly embarrass you for this.
Other Answers:
NO!
i knew a kid like that once. he was always getting called out. i think someone ended up fighting him...
sue them or go fully feral
well what did they 'warn' you about? where do you work? no it has not ever happened to me...
No but that does sound embarrassing. They didnt do it in front of anyone did they? Cause that's not right if they did.
Wow!
That's all I can say.
Whoa, I can imagine! I never have, but there was a lady at work once who was reeeally...odorous. Patrons were talking about her, and it was embarrassing to be around her. I think the super talked to her, because suddenly she stopped smelling.
Good luck!
No but I had to tell someone at work once. You thought you were embarrassed?
Not me... I'm quite fussy with my personal hygiene so no problem there...
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats bad.
No, but we have had to address the issue with other employees. Sometimes they just were not conscious of an odor problem or just how out of sync your clothing may be. It's a difficult thing to handle well and rest assured it was hard for your employer to do.
next time, wipe your a,s,s. a little better.
No I have not personally- but we as a group have said this to other people nicely in a way no meant to hurt the person...if it was you - treat it like that - and do something about the situation.
Not to me, but it was to someone in our office. It must have been embarrasing for you, but now you know you can take steps to correct it. Not being funny, but better to have that happen than to go round smelly and having people taking the juice out of you.
Do you stink or what?
No , but I would like to say something to a few co-workers
No, but what are type of personal hygiene are we talking about? can you be more specific?
No, but I had a co-worker though that was warned many times. He always had a bad odor. He kept being moved from site to site because no one could stand him and he finally got fired for another issue. (true story)
Not personally - but worked with a woman who must have used a whole bottle of perfume in less than a week. The Manager had to talk to her because it was making everyone sick. She said it was to cover her b.o. (yuk!).
It eventually got better. Sure it must have been embarassing for both of them.
Well, it was probably embarrassing for the employer, too.
Sometimes people don't realize they have bad breath or maybe their wear synthetic fibers, which tend to hold in perspiration and not wash out. A few layers of new BO over old BO and you have a stench-o-rama that could knock over a horse. I'm not saying you stink, I'm just saying that some kinds of clothing do hold odors and because they are your odors you probably don't notice them as much as your co-workers apparently do. I don't buy or wear anything with polyester or rayon or nylon in it. Try wearing all cotton for a while and wash stuff after wearing it once. That might help.
And if you work in the food service industry, they are going to want all their employees to be super-clean and scrubbing down themselves and surfaces. It's a health issue, bad hygiene can not only make people sick, if you work in a restaurant you can make 100's of people sick.
NEVER!
take a shower!
No, but assuming it was in earnest and not just meanness by some moron I think I would look a little closer at my personal habits.
Naw but just think about how they probably didn't really want to say it either. Imagine the scenario like this--some employee probably stuck their nose in where it didn't belong and they had to say something so that person would feel their issue was being addressed. I am sure they probably would rather have worked on something more important at the time.
And if that person keeps on sticking his/her nose in (think of who is nosy in your environment or who has personal issues with you and maybe that is who started the whole thing) instead of doing his/her work, he/she may get in trouble b/c no manager likes to deal with someone who makes waves all the time. Know what I mean?
I was talked to about clothing before, and that's how it went with me, and I could tell that they were telling me b/c someone nosy said something. So I made it easy on them and we kinda chatted really friendly-like and let it go at that.
See what I mean? Don't worry...if that's the worst thing they talk to you about, boy, do you ever have it made! Think about what other people get talked to about (punctuality, attititudes, performance, etc.). Not worth your valuable time thinking about anymore. Laugh it off.
no but ive had to tell a collegue to improve his,you have a right to feel comfortable at work.
Nope, never.
If an employer EVER did that too me then I'd probably get mad and either sue them for something or go insane and chop their heads off.
:-)
Hmm.... that sounds embarrassing. I can't say that it has ever happened to me but that simply means that you should put a little more effort into your cleaning ritual in the morning. Maybe it just needs to be a little more detailed. Try using a deodorant soap such as Zest or Lever to help remove the combination of smells from the air and the smells from your body. Good luck
not me personally but there's a guy at work who makes everyone else wretch with his lack of personnal hygeine, we have no idea how to tell him because we all feel too embarassed and no one wants to be the one to tell the "smelly guy" he should really take a shower.
