Woman lost job for wearing too much perfume - Page 3

If you read the article she was fired after three customer complaints - what the complaints were aren't mentined. But the compnay is a customer service call center so I'd take a leap and assume it had nothing to do with perfume.

Maybe the call center utilizes the Smell-o-phone

We have pretty strict rules about that stuff, because we have people in our building with such severe alergies that they would have to leave if someone like that was near them. Mine aren't quite that severe, I just find it obnoxious. There's no need for it in a work environment.

We had a long term sub last year that reaked of cologne so badly that every time he came into my office for something, the smell lingered for about 3-4 hours after he was gone. I'm so glad he's not around this year.

There is a woman in my section at the Ponda who bathes in it. She smells so badly that if she walks by it lingers most of the game. And then I have a headache for most of the game. I have actually decided that if she is anywhere near me this season I will say something to her about not coming in the tunnel where she needs to walk by me or something.
