One of my co-workers doesn't bathe.Management won't do anything. How does this get solved?

The solution is really simple; pelt your colleague with rotten eggs and/or monkey feces. Not only will you enjoy the exercise, but the pelted party will be forced to bathe in order to conduct him or herself in polite society. It's probably a good idea wear some kind of apparatus to obscure you identity while defiling your co-worker, a balaclava would do nicely.

Try mixing 1 part of water with 6 parts of bleach. If smell persist try a wire brush.

You need to check what her company policy is.  Does she have PTO and Sick Days, or are they all rolled up in one?  If they are indeed two different days you will have to contact corporate.  If they will not do anything about it, write your local congressmen, and your attorney general for your state.  Then send a copy of both letters to the corporate offices and let them know that you are serious about this.

Sounds like you are dealing with a very immature,ignorant coworker. Try asking her what is the problem with the light. If this doesn't work report this to your Supervisor or have  maintenance move it to a better location. I would try these steps first,BUT if this polite option fails shine your light(if you have access)back in her eye. Eye for an Eye maybe she'll see how it feels to be blinded everyday.Hope this helps.

Dear, tell him that it is very important that he keep up his personal hygiene, otherwise illnesses could occur that could have been prevented. Show him a website of parasites under a microscope that collect on the skin over a period of 1 day to a week. I guarantee you that this will gross him out and he will WANT to shower..........LOL ..........Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!

hi.\ncheck your controls, are they enough to prevent spilferages, window dressing, leakages, etc.\nthen check also your operations policies, is it making good effect on the income of the company? they might have been so much workers for an ample task. check also that your people are happy working for you?

always be professional, that way they can never complain about you.\n(always be in a position in which you're covered.)\n\nSpeak to your immediate boss about it, see if she can't first talk to the co-workers about it. \n\nAlso check out a book called "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff at Work."

Try communication with him/her, if that doesn't work then get another job.  This may help him/her or they may not care and go through workers like underwear.

I work at a healthclub and you would never guess how often this happens. People push themselves too far and that is the result. She should try to go to the bathroom before she goes to the gym and take restroom breaks in between strong workout sessions.

You could be suffering from depression or another form of anxiety disorder. I don't mean this to be mean. I had the same problem after returning from duty overseas (28 years USN) and was troubled with PTSD and depression. I would not take a bath or shower for such long periods of time, I could not remember when I had bathed last. Maybe not what you want to hear, but I want to be honest. There is NO shame in seeking counseling on this problem or any others. It is easy for people to come on here and slam you, they have nothing constructive to offer. I wish you the best.\n\nSincerely,\nMCPO West USN (Ret.)

Possibly- or you could just be trying to avoid all of the cold, flu, and stomach virus germs that are going around this time of year.  If you feel COMPELLED to repeatedly wash/wipe/sanitize and friends/family/co-workers seemed concerned about you, you might want to consider what your reasons are for doing this- you may need to talk to a medical professional.  On the other hand, this might just be a good way for you to avoid all of those pesky germs!

Unfortunately, you can't LEGALLY tell your boss about your co-worker's illness. However, when it comes to stuff like this, I personally tend to throw legality out the window and leave an anonymous note on my supervisor's desk. Make sure it's anonymous. The government provides for the person, people provide for the people. My instinct says your duty is to yourself and your fellow workers who are not infected.\n\nHow sure are you his mouth has pus-filled blisters in it?

I understand how frustating that could be but don't get yourself all worked up over it.  Keep doing what you are supposed to do.  Don't worry about your co-worker.  I'm pretty sure that your employer will catch up to him or her eventually.

for really bad cases medical advice is recommended it may be a cirulation problem but for mild cases soaking ain very warm water for an hour each evening has been said to eleaviate my friends also make sure she is not often sitting on things like cold cement as this restricts blood flow or a cold bench waiting for a bus in winter this is a common cause that is overlooked

i think it's coz they don't bother to wash their feet well when they are bathing... so the bacteria just keeps growing...

Wow it's amazing that there are still people so simple. \n\nI think "leaperpup" really said it best. If she won't respond to diplomacy that's I'd embarrass the heck out of her, and spray Lysol, and other anti bacterial sprays around, and encourage others too also. \n\nGetting up and walking away is definitely an option, so is waving your hand around and turning on a fan. \n\nIn the end I think I just might ask her, "are you so annoyed about being sick that you insist on spreading your contagious germs?" \n\nAlso check on company policies, if you work for a large place she is definitely violating something. In the end your best bet will probably be to ask for another place to sit, perhaps even an "upgrade" showing her that in the end, the mature always come out ahead.\n\nI wish you the best with this!

See if it's possible to close or cover the vent with something.  Some hardware stores have magnetic covers or screw in shields that redirect the airflow.  \n\nIf you have building maintenance, bring the problem up to them and/or your manager.  This will impact your health if more drastically if it continues.  You could even see about having management set & lock the thermostat control.\n\nYou could also ask that the AC be turned down or off in the morning and then turned on later as the heat of the day rises ... to save money for the company.\n\nYou could speak to him in a very direct fashion about it and try to come to a compromise.  You could also get to work early and set the thing then crazy glue it in place or remove the dial (but, I would talk to management before defacing company property).\n\nEvery time you come back to your desk, change the temp back.  \n\nKeep a sweater or pull over at work, don't bother carting it back & forth home.  Lastly, bring in a space heater - fight Ice with Fire.\n\nGood Luck!
