I finally spoke up on the harrassment at work about BO....

Today I felt I had enough of some of the treatment that I have been getting from the workers at work. I requested to be removed from first to third shift. The night shift, because I'm fed up of all that I have to put up with. Meaning every single day somebody's always dropping deodorants, soaps , feminine hygiene products in areas of my department. So today my manager asked me why do I want to go to third or transfer? I didn't want to tell her at first. Then she asked was I being harrass or something and I could've said yes I am. But I said no at first. I don't know why but it kept eating away at me like maybe I should tell her about this. I decided to just go take my lunch break then I kept thinking about on my break. So then when I got back to work I seen her and went up to her. I said I do need to get something off my chest. I told her everything how some of the employees have been giving me a hard time about the way I smell. Also how they be leaving those products all over my department, blurting things out when I walk by or giving me dirty looks and spreading things around about me. Plus using all kinds of intimidation against. Even though, I told her no names because I said I'm just going to pay them no mind. Plus I don't want to see anybody loose their jobs. But she insisted I give her names but I didn't. She went on to tell me about the policy how nobody should harrass anybody over anything including this. I was so deeply moved. Especially when she told me "Out of all this time, I have known you, I have never smelt you ever. That is the honest truth and I would never lie to you." I thought she wouldn't care. But she did and she held a meeting to talk to all the employees about the policy and how nobody should be harrassing anybody over anything including that. Because it is a no no! and would not be tolerated here. That really made my day. But now I feel like maybe I shouldn't have told her? Did I do the right thing? Or should I have kept that to myself. I feel a little at peace at least. I was so scared to tell her and so nervous. But I did and I didn't give any names. Because she was talking about disciplining those involve but I just told her I wanted to just leave it alone and I didn't want any problems. But to move on and get on another shift or transfer. But she was telling me how I was so favored and appreciated by the company and she would hate to lose me because I am valued employee. Then she went on to tell me how all my supervisors think highly of me and that she believe the others may be jealous of that. But I know that's not true some of the jealousy part. Because I have overheard those make comments about the way I smell daily. But I'm pass that know and staying focus on my goals and dreams. Most of all staying positive too. I forgive those and have no hard feelings towards those who do this to me. I have learn going through this that some feel I smell and some don't. That I will overcome this. Another thing too, I started taking Zinc and Vitamin B6, changing my soap to a lesser ph. So I believe its working. Making the smell at least less noticeable but still some make comments. But that's okay. I'm still staying strong and positive no matter what. But still some part of me feels did I do the right thing by telling the manager this? Or should I have kept it to myself? But I do feel relieve like some pressure is off of me and at peace at least. Thanks to all of you on here. Who take the time out to read my post.



Blessings to all.
