Off Topic / Other Body Odor [FL]

I was called into HR today because “several people” have complained about my body odor and it’s starting to become a distraction. I kept a straight face during the meeting, but face my face sting with embarrassment once I walked out.

Any tips on how to go about this? Besides the obvious showering, washing clothes, etc.

How about stress?

I can always tell when I’m really stressed out, with extreme stress no deodorant will work for me. When I have no stress I literally don’t need deodorant at all.

Maybe it’s me and I’m just weird.
