nope. Next cube.
Time to chat with HR ...
I've had that in meetings. That is very, very frustrating.
They don't believe (or just use) deoderant. Dunno why, cultural thing. Same thing in certain areas of europe.

When Tyrolean and I were both working for Digital (where we met) there was a Chinese guy who had bad BO. Eventually she got sick of it, and would literally spray him with air freshener when he passed by.

Soap/water is cheap,
I'm probably a dinosaur but Frankly i don't give a damn about a person's so called cultural bias to lack of cleanliness . I f you want to work here adapt to the culture of the workplace .

As long as there is a policy on the books, this can easily be dealt with as a performance issue. It would be no different than showing up in wife beater and ripped jeans. If there is a policy on the books and someone does something not up to the policy, that is not that difficult of a conversation.

i don't' think i've ever seen a policy calling for regular showering by employees. perhaps under a "hostile work environment" clause of HR? Where is Glenn, he's an HR guy?
maybe if you start walking around wearing one of these they will get the hint? http://www.healthcareapparel.com/shop/disp-scented-masks.html
Some companies have a "scent" policy, but that's mostly for people who use a bit much perfume or cologne.
Usually, companies will have a "Personal Conduct" policy; and that will have a number of sub-sections. One that could be used in this case: " creating a a situation which seriously disrupts the work evironment...." That's a good catch-all that can be used for someone talking loudly on the phone or who isn't showering regulary.

pretty much every hotel / resort I've worked at has a personal hygiene policy. Staff are required to wear deodorant. There is also language in the opposite direction for excessive use of colon or perfume.
