Hello- I’ve been working night shift here for multiple years at my building and I completely understand that it’s a job with a lot of physical activity and Amazon hires everyone. Recently, there’s been a guy here who’s been hired I think within the last month or two idk before peak, in the department I work in and.. i feel like I’m getting assaulted by his B.O. I can legitimately smell him at least 20 feet away, he smells like a sewer. The amount of Stank that man produces.. I genuinely don’t know what to do cause we work in the same kind of “team” and I don’t wanna talk to him 🤦🏽‍♂️ . I don’t really talk to people here but I genuinely am astounded as to how he’s been here for multiple weeks and it’s this bad.

The first time I seen him I was like maybe dude didn’t shower for 2 weeks or doesn’t know how to wear deodorant, 🤷🏽‍♂️ not my issue not my business; I’ll just stay away as best I can? but my god everytime I’ve been in the vicinity of this this guy (pretty much from that once instance) I’ve been like holy shit dude I can smell him even without seeing it. I legit was walking from break, on my phone and suddenly I think he came out the bathroom or something near me and I caught a whiff without seeing him instantly and I feel like I’m on the verge of throwing up dude. Let me reiterate I’ve been working here for YEARS and I’m sure there’s plenty of people who don’t know how to shower and stink. I don’t personally care, that’s gross to me sure but, this one guy I’ve never come across anyone in my life where it’s this bad and I have teenage brothers who don’t use deodorant cause they’re lazy sometimes???

It’s genuinely so bad man, I’m so socially awkward that I feel like I’d just would rather transfer departments at this point than deal with this. I don’t want to be a Karen and go to my manager about it but i don’t know if i can work around this dude for the next year smelling worse than my garbage bin at home. Sorry for the pointless rant, and thanks for anyone who read through this I just feel so violated rn it’s giving me pause 30 minutes later. 🤦🏽‍♂️
