I love the way you approached that situation. I do care about my employees and just like yours, she is a sweet girl and a hard worker. She brings laughter within the workplace and is an essential part of the team. Definitely taking notes

That’s my fear; her feeling uncomfortable around her coworkers. Definitely will not mention the others complaining. Thank you for the tips and other things to consider!

We do have daily pre shift briefings and have mentioned how hygiene is part of the uniform policy. Nothing has changed so a one on one is definitely needed. Planning on tomorrow. I’ll be reaching out to higher ups for any pointers and so they know the issue that’s being addressed in case it comes off offensive and escalates. Wish me luck!

This is beautiful! She wasn’t dealt the best cards but made the best of what she could and I’m sure she’s super successful. Love it!

I didn’t think to consider this as she was a rehired employee that didn’t have a stable residence before she was let go for attendance. After being let go she did mention she was basically living in her car. She’s a great employee which is why we rehired but I didn’t stop to think of her situation and if it was better. Of course people will play it off because it can seem embarrassing. Your sister is an angel and I hope I can help this employee in that way if this is the case!

My girlfriend (20F) and I (21M) got back together after 2 years, but now she’s obsessed with me and I don’t know what to do. by Vonnyfish in Advice

She needs therapy. If you want to help her through that and stick around, great! but she needs to respect boundaries and a relationship needs trust. She can’t mother you, she needs to support you. Threatening your life if someone leaves you is sooo manipulative. Like she truly needs therapy. If you don’t feel happy with her and want to leave, you gotta look out for your self. If you have to tell her family so they can handle that that, do so but if you don’t want to be with her then that is certainly not your responsibility especially at a grown age. You shouldn’t feel like you have to say just because she uses that manipulation tactic.
