Vest Combo
18 Answers
I recently heard back from my open plan office that one of the veteran staff there has been having a clothing issue. Myself and collegues are rather perturbed at the individual in question has been wearing a wafer thin shirt with a vest "tank top" combo for the last 3 days.
It does appear that the special individual has no shame in the fact that he has worn this attire constantly for a number of days - I believe the shirt in particular doesn't look withstand another wash - do you think that could be the reason for wearing the attire to "death" so to speak!
I have heard stories that fungal infections on the body caused by lack of washing and indeed wearing primark "seconds" has become an epidemic in some third world countries - Does anyone have any suggestions on how to approcah this individuals issues directly without causing offence.

I don't feel im nit-picking, just feel that it should be addressed for the benefit of others that work closely with him.
Yes it's just been the last 3 days, he seems somewhat grey visually in general but this does seem a little more extreme.

How do you know he doesn't wash this shirt / vest every night, even if it might appear dirty? Perhaps he doesn't have a ton of money to buy new clothes or repair any of his old ones? Or he's been staying away from his home and only has one lot of clothes?
I wear the same pair of jeans in a week, wear the same top or jumper twice a week (washed between) and know that a lot of men wear the same pants each day of the working week, and I don't see anyone batting an eyelid about that. Personally I couldn't give a damn, I go to work and do my job well, so if I'm not conforming to some personal views of other members of staff then they need to get a life and think about more important things!

Just WHAT is a "wafer thin" shirt?(new one to me) and HOW do you know he doesn't have several shirts of the same colour?
You don't say that someone has told you he smells?
When will epople learn to get on with their own lives and not interfere in others.
What do you know of his home life,has he a wife,does he live alone?all these could influence his dress and possible problems.
Let us hope nobody where you work is judging YOU!

Get yourself and all your staff in regulation company-issue outfits - one to wash and one to wear - with instructions and clear guidance for washing and ironing and clear stated penalties for not complying.
If your workforce put up with it, they deserve you.
If you can't talk to a guy who might be under stress and maybe having a breakdown, of course it makes it much better to write about it online and tell the rest of the office.
Hugely professional, meltingly human, don't want to be you thanks.
