Well according to my Manager I work. He got me in the office yesterday and said the other staff were complaining about me. I smell ! I couldn't believe it ! I was really shocked. Because I am not a slob, I care about I look (and smell)
I change my boxers and socks every day (sometimes twice), I change my work shirt every day. I have a bath three times a week. I shave before work and put on aftershave. I cycle to work in a normal shirt and then change into my work shirt. I always use deodorant. I use body spray about 5 times a day.
It seems the staff have been complaining for a while and he took time to say something and they were complaining about that. Since christmas the staff have been really off with me. Something was going on. People going quiet when I was around, one word answers, grumpy faces.
He went on and on. He wanted to know how often I wash my work clothes. I said my Dad does a service wash at a launderette. He wanted to know why we haven't got a washing machine. I said because we haven't. None of his business. He ordered some new work clothes for me. He implied I was some nice guy loser who couldn't wash himself and had nothing going for him. That was the impression I got.
You can imagine how I felt. So down, so low. It was funny because all the staff suddenly become really jovial after I came out the office. I got thru the day and went home to tell my Dad. He said he hadn't noticed I smell. We both checked my work clothes, jacket, trousers, didn't smell at all. He was so mad about what the manager said, I had to persuade him not to go to my shop and have a right go at him !
I know it's petty but I thought 'that's me and the staff finished' - so I unfollowed all of them on facebook and removed them from my photo group. Work and facebook isn't going to mix from now on.
This morning, I felt paranoid. I washed my face and body, Sprayed deodorant on everything, clothes included, changed everything. I got thru the day, didn't feel like talking. All the staff knew, nobody said anything but they never stopped talking to me, asking me daft questions about when I was going to play golf next. I suppose they were trying to cheer me up but I felt miserable. I feel down about it. I don't understand it.
A few women smell themselves but I have never said anything. I would never because I don't want to hurt anybodies feelings. We don't work on top of each other so it's hardly a problem.
Thanks for reading !
