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.
The issue here is you could get yourself in trouble with HR if he takes it the wrong way. Tell HR first and let them handle it.
And if he comes to me asking questions and throwing a tantrum?
Steel chair!
Go back to hr
Alright, noted. Thank you.
Then you fucking tell HR.
Rinse and repeat as needed until it stops being a problem.
