Okay, so I work in a professional, medical, business setting. There is a guy that works in our office who dresses in the same clothes everyday. Tan shorts, a plain colored t-shirt (he rotates the color of the t-shirt) and a black button up shirt that he leaves unbuttoned.

So that's great, wearing the same clothes everyday and smelling like crap. I can deal with that-honestly. I can't deal with him bending over all the time and showing every patient, coworker, etc. his ass crack. He's a heavier guy, 5'4" and probably 200 lbs. He wears his shorts under his tummy so that they are so low. He's constantly reaching down to get charts and showing us his ass.

Other coworkers have said something to him-telling him to buy a belt,etc. I know for a fact that if my boobs were hanging out (which is practicall impossible with an A cup! :giggle) or if my ass could be seen, I would be spoken to. I feel bad for him, but really-it just makes me sick. Can I bring this up to HR? What do you ladies think?:confused

I definitely think you can talk to HR.
If he is dressing inappropriately they may want to know. I am sure they would handle the matter in a confidential manner.

Geez, this guy has no sense of personal hygenine, does he? Well, HR would be the last step, if you (or others) have already talked to him and all. I mean it;s a professional setting and they have to make sure it stays that way. And you are right, if you were in his situation, it would be a different situation.

good luck sweetie

That's the thing..I cannot physically say anything to him. I think about it, it almost comes out..but I just can't! I don't want him to think I'm looking at his bum! Everyone else says something to him though.

I think it's sad. What if he has child support payments or something that take up his pay so he can't afford more better-fitting clothes? :dunno

It would embarass him to say something to HR, how would it make you feel if someone in HR talked to you about something that sensitive? I would wonder who had said something, and how many people were judging me.

If you absolutely must say something, pull him aside and ask if there's a reason for it. It will still humiliate him I'm sure, but at least then you haven't humiliated him in front of others. That's just how I would handle it, personally.

At first I thought that as well-I thought maybe he's fallen in hard times. But he has no children, he lives with his parents, no loans, etc. He drives a very nice brand new truck, goes on vacations all the time, he has money, talks about money all the time.

That's why I don't want to go to HR, I don't want to embarrass him :( I just feel so torn. I don't think the patients should have to see that on a daily basis. We have young children coming in. I don't think us coworkers should see it either.

Well if you can't bring yourself to say something to him specifically, then you'll have to go to HR because it does sound like he's just a slob in that case

:depressed I didn't want to say it-but yes he's basically a slob. And a lazy one at that

If you can't/won't say anything to him, then you should go to his supervisor, or HR. They are in the position to say somthing to him.

My supervisor is aware of it, someone brought it to her attention a year or so ago, she brushed it off because she's friends with his mom. Or, well-that's what one of my coworkers told me. I don't know that as fact because I wasn't in that department then.

buy some deodorant or nice smelling bodywash & leave it anonymously on his desk:tuJust a thought... good luck sweety
