AskABoss: 'I am embarrassed that all my co-workers were talking about me and, yet, no one said anything to me'
A week ago, a manager in another department, who is also a friend, sat me down in her office and talked to me because, apparently, I am the smelly co-worker.
There was a similar scenario with my other manager: The power briefly went out overnight while I was drying clothes. I started the dryer when I woke up and didn’t realize that the shirt smelled mildewy until I got to work and started moving around. The first occurrence was in January of last year. The second was in June. Which means that this has been an issue for almost a year, and no one said anything to me.
I’m sure the last thing you want to do is reopen this conversation with your colleague, but there might be real value in asking her to clarify whether it’s been a consistent issue the entire time, or whether it’s just been these three individual incidents. That will help you figure out what you need to do to address it and, depending on the answer, it could also bring you some peace of mind.
It also should help to think about what you would think if you were the co-worker of someone who sometimes smelled. You probably wouldn’t think, “What a revolting person!” but rather, “Oh, she doesn’t realize.”
