Question

What's the best way to tell a co-worker, without hurting there feelings, that they smell.?

Answer 1

the boss needs to do this.  It's his/her job.  There isn't any easy way to do this and it just needs to be handled privately and firmly.

Answer 2

leave subtle hints:

such as a can of freshener on his/her desk ((accidentally of course))

deodorant on his/her desk

or bring it up conversationally.

"You know what's really annoying BO, when a person has a certain smell it can really make the room uncomfortable..."

Answer 3

ur not hurting there feeling ur being honest it better for you to tell then someone to make fun of them

maybe u should ask them are they allergic to or what are they allergic too

Answer 4

well you know what i would do. i would just go to a store buy them shampoo, body soap and just give it to them and say srry my best friend bought me this but i dont really need it so you can have it. it smells great. you'll like it. This might work. it has before

Answer 5

This happened in my office a couple years ago. A few of us went to the boss, who called him in and talked to him. That's the best way to handle it...he'll see that the boss is just doing his job; making the office pleasant for everyone.  

Answer 6

there is never a best way to tell someone that. depends on what you do and how you get along really if they need to be clean then professionally but if they are a good friend they will take your advice well if you tell them what could happen to their job if they don't clean up
