body odor
I have a co-worker with bad body odor. The entire staff has noticed it and it's been mentioned it to our managers who don't know what to do either. Hints (even major ones) just haven't worked ... what can we do?

Leave an anonymous note kindly and gently letting him know that you (not the whole damn office) have noticed an odor problem...be specific about where it is coming from if you can so he does not think it is his underarms if it is his breath for example). Also, it would be nice if you told him in this anonymous note that he is an otherwise great guy and that heck, we all smell...and have to work on keeping clean and odor control. This is as much as you should do and leave it at that. Keep it short and sweet. If you were good friends I would say this to his face in private...use your very best judgement and be extra kind in your voice and tone.

leave him alone. its not gonna kill you, and its not worth hurting someones selfesteem over. it would humilate him and im sure he'll realize it one day on his own.

No since being rude about it or humiliating the person. They may have some sort of medical disorder, for all you know.
Personally, I'd leave it to the managers to deal with. Let them be the bad guy.
But if you feel you need to say something, definitely don't publicly humiliate this person. Talk to them in private. Maybe they need advice on how to get rid of it?

Personally I would straight up tell it. Offended or not, he should be profesional and atleast find something that will mask the B-O if not rid it. And if he is offended, he can go ahead and write a complaint to the General Manager.
If that doesn't get through, get sticks of deodorant and put them on his desk or something. Like, tons of them. Get anything that can get rid of the smell, even if you have to spray Frebreeze on him to "eliminate odors from the air". Even some body wash can help a little...
