You might think that hygiene habits should be a personal decision left to each staff member’s own discretion, but Cohen said that the reach of bad body odor goes beyond the cubicle around you. “It’s engaging in anti-social behavior,” he said. “Not bathing, being unkempt… You have to be very careful, especially if you’re in a client-interfacing role.”… [Additionally] No matter how much you hate your boss or how dumb you think he is, it’s usually career suicide to reveal those sentiments to a higher-up… [And] No one likes a freeloader. If you are the worker who never presents an original thought at work, or you take credit for others’ accomplishments, you’re likely to find yourself out the door. [FINS]

There are never 9 tips, always 10 tips. I really hate the number 10.
–the number 9
Showering is over-rated
This is shit you would already know if you went to Columbia Business School.

“No one likes a freeloader. If you are the worker who never presents an original thought at work, or you take credit for others’ accomplishments, you’re likely to find yourself out the door.”
That’s a great point Kelly, I’ll definitely change my ways. Also, have I mentioned you’re fired?
-Guy who beat you to the punch, again.
They teach this on the first day of class at Villanova.
You’re more likely to find yourself in management, actually.
I 105% agree!
do suits and ties count ?
Ya I slept through the first and every other day of class at Villanova.
It’s never been a problem for me, I simply apply gallons of after shave in lieu of showering.

Thanks Kelly, but I feel like you missed an important subtle mistake that many of us make. Apparently tweeting your junk is also frowned upon.
the cubicles (and trading desks) are not so bad with the odor. big open room with high ceiling, etc.
its when the guy is promoted(?) to a private office is when you can tell the stink.
Maybe I’m not “the norm.” I’m not “camera friendly.” I don’t “wear clothes that fit me.” I’m not a “heartbreaker.” I haven’t “had sex with a woman;” I don’t know “how that works.” I guess I don’t “fall in line.” I’m not “hygenic.” I don’t “wipe properly.” I lack “style.” I have no “charisma” or “self esteem.” I don’t “own a toothbrush” or “let my scabs heal.” I can’t “reach all the parts of my body.” When I sleep, I “sweat profusely.”
raj, is that you? hows jail treating you? i bet the other guys there can reach all your body parts.
Just because I “eat my own dandruff”.

A sweet ass and huge dong doesn’t help either.

It was a hot day in Houston’s new Goldman Sachs energy office. The A/C had gone out and the room was sweltering. People began to take off their jackets, loosen shirts and blouse collars. The temperature and humidity grew quite uncomfortable. Soon, some traders began mumbling things. The mumbles got louder. And then a strong scent of bad body odor began to waft across the trade room. One of the 2-oil traders said out loud to no one in particular, “Somebody’s deodorant isn’t working too well……!!!”
I loudly stated, “It’s not me. I don’t wear any…..”
This memo should be attached to every H1B Visa/Jersey City apartment rental application.
