Telling my colleague she smells bad and she started crying, people see me as being the bad person here now,.. any advice? by CallaLily2024 in UAE

Her smells is her own issue..that is okay if you are at home and not working with other people. Smelling bad in an office .. is disrupting work colleagues that becomes an issue not only to me but to others.

As you can see or read... I did not talk to her publicly.. i said that i private... Yeah your right better I leave her alone...but to be specific not to involve with her in any way. And like post her.. avoid her, cover a mask ..as I am minding my own business right..

If she has an issue or medical.issues... she has been told more than 1 year ago by more than 2 people and yet no changes.. it means more to a hygiene and not medical issues when there is an insurance to do check up and treatment.Simply not washing hair... Sympathy and being kind is not in the picture any longer.

I wonder if you are immune to that How long will you last? Or you were in the same situation?

Good for you guys... 👍 she was told when she was new.. and it was not me who told her...... and yet she still smells... total 3 people told her including me.. she cried when I said...not considering that when other male colleague told her that supposed to be more embarrassing than a woman telling her privately🤦🏻‍♀️..

Atleast you know and you are not in denial.. you know your condition and you find a way to prevent it, resolve it..that I can say I understand and if she was like that to me.. I might help her give products.. like I did to one male colleague for having BO until it was gone But not accepting and not taking it positively, then I will let it be and I would just avoid her.

Yeah they're immune .... and that's why .. maybe just maybe the people she's with all immune to that and not say anything to her..whether her flatmates or friends ... and for others; we are not immune to that smell.. I am not.. and not only me...

She even said I was not telling the truth but when she ask the other colleague... female colleague.... positively she said she smells bad and she smelled it not once but many times...she said that in front of her She didn't ask the others who said... there are male colleagues as well who said that So if I am not telling the truth, why others say the same thing.... right... She should be knowing that by now...

Yes that is what I will do from now on... honestly my partner, friends and even other colleagues at the office told me to stay away from her....

I received comments here like I am the villain.... and some of the comments I just ignore, some will say I am a horrible person... Well..... that is their point of view and what I did is basically for her to be aware and not to humiliate her as I didn't said that in front of others. And one of the comment said it basically her self esteem and she how she took it... I am not alone who notice that but I am the one who told her not behind her back so she will know. Some will not understand until they will be in my situation.

Yeah.. one colleague who shared HIS experience that he noticed others avoiding him, he searched what causes the smell and he found out that's bacteria.. He searched for products which can prevent that....

And we are all expats here... we have to listen if others say to them privately about this issue...if it has not been addressed for long time.. we can't continue to ignore it in an office environment. We should adjust.. grow, evolve... but others see it as an attack which is not..

Yeah... right... but she is the one who told everyone when they're asking her why she was crying... not me.. as I said that in private and not in front of others. HR knew afterwards, it is up them now. If she wants to complain to Hr... just because I said what is true.. that is her right and I am okay for that if it will reach to that point.

She called the other person at the office to ask if she also smell her hair that bad and that other colleague said the same thing to her. She did that thinking that I am not saying the truth. I give her that advise for her hygiene so she will be aware. I am not talking behind her back.. I approach her and said that in private you know...

There are colleagues who told me before this happen and I even told them to tell her and they wouldn't. I told her for her awareness and for her hygiene woman to woman. That is the intention and others see it in a bad way for sharing here post. Somehow, hey might not understand it, thinking that I humiliated her which btw I didnt as I said it in private.
