DEAR ABBY: I work in a company that has small offices. Although most people have their own office, I share one because I was the last guy hired.
I have one co-worker who I really like, but he has a serious problem. He -- and his wife, I suspect -- don't do laundry. This results in him having serious odor. When he comes into my office or I have to go into his, or even walk by his door, the smell is seriously rank. How do I tell him or his superiors about this issue? -- HOLDING MY NOSE IN TEXAS
DEAR HOLDING: Go to your supervisor and explain the problem. You should not have to counsel the offending employee; the boss, your supervisor or someone in human resources should do it. If the problem is as severe as you say it is, it probably won't be the first time they have heard about it because others will have noticed it and complained, too.
