Unfortunately, it has become a problem in recent years. Is it because there are more people with allergies or is it because people with allergies now feel freer to speak out about what makes them uncomfortable?

I also work at home but I network widely and several groups have asked that members arrive scent free. Many people are sensitive to scents, which can have harmful chemicals as contstituents. Some can become quite ill.

There was a time when I spoke out against cigarette smoke in the office and was treated as a freak. Now, in the Province of Ontario, we have a complete ban on smoking in the workplace and in public places.

I would suggest that your girlfriend not wear scent out of consideration for her co-worker. She will be just as beautiful without it.

Subject: OFF-TOPIC question about an office thing


The reason for my posting this to this forum is that most listmembers work
in offices. I don't; I work from a home office.
Perhaps someone here has some relevant experience with this kind of thing
and would be willing to share. Right now, I view this issue as being quite
rare and nearly unheard of. Yet, I may well be wrong.
My long-term girlfriend works as a manager in an office of a foundation
and a co-worker of lower rank has been complaining that her (my
girlfriend's) perfume makes her sick or nauseated. My girlfriend does not
wear heavy perfume. You can hardly tell that she's wearing any perfume at
all. Her perfume does not cause complaints from anyone else.
Is this kind of thing an issue in offices? Thanks for your wisdom.
