[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 146477, member: 3907"] Tinamarie, I think Abbey's suggestion is a good one. To make sure that you don't come across as a "complainer" I would go in armed with one or two ideas about how to resolve the situation. That way the supervisor has less work to do to come up with a solution, and can just implement the one that works best. So...for example, is there another desk far away from perfume-girl to which you could be reassigned (possibly somewhere that has better lighting, just as an added bonus?) Or...you might want to suggest a fragrance-free policy to avoid any health and safety concerns. An interesting aside... Years ago in Toronto there was a lawsuit that was making all the papers. A woman was fired from her job for wearing very strong, stinky perfume that was offensive to co-workers and customers of the business. She sued for wrongful dismissal, but lost because the judge agreed that her colleagues and customers should not be subject to unpleasant or noxious odours. And get this...she worked at the PERFUME counter of a department store. Can you imagine how stinky her perfume must have been??? Hope it all works out, Trinity [/QUOTE]
