Perfume Becomes the Reason For Discharge

The consequences of the economic crisis are sharply felt by female employees who are fired for their predilection for perfume. The point is that in a stressful environment people's sense of smell, especially those who have a lot of responsibility, is aggravated to the limit. Also, the reason for one in five dismissals is based on the personal distaste of the employee's boss.

Historical background
According to data from a German magazine called Junge Karriere, 38% of Germans consider the most irritating factor in the work place to be the smell emanating from their colleagues.
This issue is not only a relevant one for Germany. The numerous discussions of the theme on the Internet testify to this: "I was suffering for half a year from the strong aromas of our new female employee. Toward the end of the day my head was aching, and my fingers were all thumbs. It is a pity that I did not have the authority to apply administrative measures to this lady", - writes an employee of a Swiss company in his blog.
Actually, the smell of perfumes, even very expensive and high quality fragrance, can cause not only emotional discomfort, but also allergic reactions in the form of nausea, vertigo, or head cold. For this reason, in many companies fans of artificial aromas are fought against in the same way that smoking in the work place is fought against.

Exacerbation
Prior to the beginning of world's economic hysteria this problem existed along with others. Chiefs tried not to advertise their personal dislike of a colleague who overused a fragrance and would officially credit that colleagues dismissal to entirely other reasons. Crisis has cleared the air. Now managers are not hesitating to declare that an employee's release is in connection with the fact that an employee, "has created uncomfortable (or conflicting) situation because of the excessive use of perfume."
Not so long ago in the Swedish city of Malmo, a collaborator of a shipping company was fired because she used toilet water with a too sweet, luscious aroma, which created in her boss a choking sensation. After a warning from management, she refused to change her eau de toilette. At first this case was the recipient of wide public attention, but interest in it abated after the appearance of a pair of similar situations.
An even better precedent has happened in the English city of Norfolk. Linda Gorman filed lawsuit against several colleagues at the same time and even against her own chief for the use of perfume in the work place.
