Woman lost job for wearing too much perfume

Iinitial reaction - she should have been fired. I'm horribly allergic to some types of perfume. I can't count how many times I've had to step out of church because someone sat near me with loads of something on that completely set me off. Now would I complain to them in church, no, I'm the one with the problem so I step out. In a work situation I would have to complain or I couldn't function.

After reading the article she was warned. Red Door is one that totally sends my allergies into the stratosphere, it's not a subtle fragrance. I agree there aren't many facts in the article but I'd say if she were wearing volumes of the stuff it would be hard for other workers in her vacinity to concentrate.
