Dear LIB readers: How can I tell my boss that he has mouth odour
From a LIB reader
I just got a job with an auditing firm with a fantastic pay. I love
everything about my job except that my direct boss wants to chase me out
of the office with his bad breathe. Its so bad. I can't even describe
it. I have tried to cope within this two months I started but
mehn....Kai.... its getting to me now. How can I respectfully tell him
without getting myself thrown out of my job? I need your sensible advice
please.
Make friends wit him. Try to get very close, then once in a while offer him sweets dat has menthol, Eg: tom tom. Once u are close enough, Politely tell him dat dis was what you noticed about him beggin him nt to be offended o, buh u rily want to help.
Ehe! B4 I 4get, after telling him bout d Odour, give him solutions to its cure if he gives u a listening ear because ofcourse you should have come up with a solution before going to talk. Goodluck and congrats in ur new job
Well d festive period is around and people exchange gifts during this period........ u can buy him varieties of mouth cleanser mixed with other gifts so it won't b obvious as a sign of having a luvly boss as him.......
Just keep a safe distance when relatingg to him Action speaks louder dan voice..... When u v stayed up to 6-8 months, he wud be used to u... U cud buy him Mouth spray..... Or buy an hampack dis xams with mouth spray + colgate toothspaste in it.....
Looooooooooolz ROTF........... So funny that I barely have an answer to that.................. Depends on the kinda man he is.......... Study him before knowing what to do...... Just hope I helped . (•͡.̮ •͡ )
simply buy mint bubble gum for him...or u say sir hope u send him a text message with an unknown number or anonymously telling him respectfully hw bad his mouth odour is...
There's no way to politely tell your boss that his breathe is hot...He might say thanks but it's a lie...u will collect the fire later! Just dey manage am :D
Ehya, most pple aint aware of their mouth odour. You can actually buy one mouth wash n a very 9ce n xpensive toothpaste for him, telling him dat he shud use dem often dat dey give a new feeling of freshness. Also u ll tell him u just got to knw about d products from a friend and u've tried it and it certainly does d magic. Bye. 'Sergio Frankie'. @frankotechx
My boss has same,i make it a point of duty to offer him mint/chewing gum every time,as in,i am his regular supplier.thank God he gladly takes it,so d problem is solved till he stops chewing.i don't know what's so hard in brushing the tongue.mshew
If you like you job, jejely keep ur mouth shut oo and bear the odour....on a brighter side it Christmas season give him a hamper with assorted toothpastes, breath sprays, wrigleys and orbit, some toothbrushes and floss...he wld get ur drift den...hehe
see gobe...it is actually easy...offer him tic tac and give him as a gift free visit to a dentist. christmas is approaching as christmas gift buy one of those deals on dealdey for him to see a dentist for dental cleaning.
U can't tell him. Look 4 som1 close 2 him nd jovially explain 2 d person so he or she can tell him. Or use an anonymous number 2 text it 2 him nd say ur a friend he met in a place, ur certain he often visits. Good luck.
when telling him, dont do that alone. do it with someone else in the office so it doesnt look like its a personal thing. plus let him know you are just concerned.
My dear u beta kip ur observation 2 urslf o....except u wnt 2 join d joblex population o.....u hav tken it 4 2months nw,my dear u cn tk it 4 2 yrs...beta kip dat job o....4get mouth odour.

Wtf.This dude isnt grateful.Hope u've an alternative job shaa?can u imagin,ur BM,CEO,DIRECTOR,MGR telling him/her dat about such a thing!are u d PRO of mouth odour info in ur organisatn/company?
Mehn! You just have to tell him Respectful with apology. Like "sir I am really to say this, pls forgive me if u Don't like what I'm going to say, but sir I think you should work on your breathe, I felt I should let you know out of love and respect for u sir". Or better still just keep shut and tolerate it if you might lose ur job for speaking out.
Mhen...of course you have to tell him especially when u know ΐτ̅'s detrimental to your health. but ΐτ̅'s not just telling him o, considering the fact he's your boss, what u will do is to check anytime he's in his happiest mood where he can accommodate any thing from anybody, then u can chip ΐτ̅ in in a mild way o. This could help.
WHAT I THINK YOU SHOULD DO IS THIS...... GET YOURSELF A GOOD MOUTH SPRAY, USE IT WHEN EVER HE IS AROUND (I.E ON YOURSELF)AND LET HIM SEE U USING IT I BELIEVE FROM THERE, HE WILL ASK FOR ONE WHICH U MUST HAVE READY TO GIVE TO HIM (IF HE CARES TO DEAL WITH IT)............GOODLUCK
Simple. Get him a toiletry hamper for Christmas and put a lot of toothpaste, mouth wash and breath fresheners. Then offer him minty sweets from time to time but pop one into your mouth first
You have to do that with wisdom,if you close tell him you have tooth ache and you going to see a dentist you don't know when last he saw one too,if you both can go together.
If you love yourself and your job, then just keep quiet. Not everything has to be said. There is no way to say such without getting him offended. Endurance is all you have left
if you really like your boss you tell him about it I'm sure he will appreciate your concern and make him promise he wont get angry before you start the main conversation...oluwalobunmi
Even when one is alone, bad breath is not a good thing to experience not to talk of the uncomfortable situations it puts you through socially. Bad breath or Halitosis is just an all-around unfortunate thing. But then again, there are quite a few quick-fixes out there and if you already religiously floss and brush, it can be quite frustrating trying to deal with it. So i think your boss is aware of his bad breath, I will advice you to start by offering him mints. for how to fight bad breath, click here
Your own matter is on another level..lol I'm nt suggesting anything o cos I don't even want it 2 be my idea that gets u fired. Just don't take deep breaths. :D ----C21
well....i think u ve to b very careful ooo.if d relationship wit ur boss is strictly casual, i think u shuld try n tell sumbody closest to him to tell him..mayb his bestfrnd.dere must b sumbody close to him dat can tell him without offence..dats wht i think..*Daily Benefits*
Kindly tender your resignation letter and add your advice at the bottom of it about is mouth odour. Because no employer in Nigeria will take an elusive advice from someone on his payroll.The decision is yours either to retain your job or change your line of duty to be a counselor (adviser).
I see say d work don tir u, haba what is ur biz, u for kukuma buy am mouth wash. Pls respect urself if you love that ur work, pple way dey look for work plenty out there.
Is he talking directly into ur mouth or nostril? Why not face ur job and leave the mouth odour cos am sure u're not the only one in that office and as long as he won't be talking to from morng till closing time, come on concentrate.
Just tell him, his mouth ordour was there before you where employed, others were working with him before your employment, are you the only good Samaritan?
just meet him privately, approach him with a good manner by bringing the issue to him. Them if him too is a responsible someone; he will understand and make a change or ask for solution
Hahahahahahahahaha mouth odour is the worst thin that can happen to sum1 ok let's go this way,how is ur relationship with your Boss?do u guys rapour well?u can tell him quietly without him being hurt,he knows he has it and maybe he's bin looking For a way and a solution, so pls before u tell him make sure you have a solution dats something that will either reduce it or stop it,candid advice
U better respect urslf and endure watever is smelling 2 ur nose oooo hmmm it's hard 2 get another job out there but take ur time and find a way of telling him 4 him nt 2 get angry
Hmmm. It's either u continue to endure it or get thrown out on ur job because u should know Nigerian bosses with der prides. My advise. Just get use to it, and try to avoid moving too close to him.
Write him a letter don't indicate who wrote it, I did it to one of my classmate in school, we wrote a letter to him and put it in his bag when he wasn't around. Linda post my comments
a.k.a EDWIN CHINEDU AZUBUKO said... . like yu said yu dont want to loose ur job so i suggest yu concentrate on ur job and 4get about mouth odour. *GLO BRING 3G TO KONTAGORA* . . ***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
Let ur boss be, don't tell him,or else he might hate u for it nd throw u out, u knw wat dt means,nt in ur position to tell him, some1 more closer to him will do dat
Try and advertise to him about "WALNUT" by saying, "Sir, i heard walnut is good and healthy to chew on daily basis for early morning breathe". And If he can start chewing that, bad breathe will be a thing of the past even if he was born with it. My 2 cents
I had a friend whom was also having same problem, Infact her mouth smells like pit toilet in d mornings when she comes to class.i got her a mouth wash nd spray nd told her dat pple re talking abt her mouth.my dear,dat was d end of our friendship oooooooo she say I dey insult her...so plzzz dont tell ur boss,he go tak am say u dey insult him
ROTFL.... Simply buy him toothpastes and brushes as his end of the year gift... U tell him, u get fired. U said u jes got d job right? So endure the odour and enjoy d pay!!!! Looooolzzz
Hahahahahahahahaha mouth odour is the worst thin that can happen to sum1 ok let's go this way,how is ur relationship with your Boss?do u guys rapour well?u can tell him quietly without him being hurt,he knows he has it and maybe he's bin looking For a way and a solution, so pls before u tell him make sure you have a solution dats something that will either reduce it or stop it,candid advice
You clearly don't value your job. Your boss mouth odor is more important than actually being productive. Buy him mouthwash nau, and start looking for a new job while you're at it.
How many hours u do spend with ur Boos in a day? You better face ur job and let what is not ur problem stay out of ur mind. ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
Lwkmd! I can feel ur pain jare... before you confront him make sure u hav a solution to his mouth odour bcos if u dnt den na gobe e b 4u o. anywayz jst engage him in a discussion indirectly using ur frnd as an example whereas it's u and tell him wat ur frnd has bin facing in her office then listen to his reply frm wat he says u wil no wat 2do. Kai bt hw can u even engage in a discussion wit him wit d mouth odour 'lmao' my dear ur Mata tire me jare #onelovefromSnow#
Lol. If am the one I will invite him out for a drink and then tell him but by then he won't be so angry and moreover he is drinking... men love to drink. He he he he he he.
mouth odor is the thing of the TONGUE , the tongue is like a towel used many times not wash and not kept where it will get dry but squeeze in a place. if u check the tongue of the man , u will see white or creamish layer on it. what u need do is just get him stuffs that relate to the mouth for instance , mouth spray, mouth wash and may be some kind of distinct past give it to him as a present and tell does are some stuff ma uncle abroad got for us , i guess that will hold him or even make him checkmate himself , or u get close to him,try relate with him, after, stylishly u will fined away to tell him.
You can't dear and you shouldn't. Let his family members do that! Focus on your work in your place of work that should do for you. It is well. James 4:7. BishopDammy#
There's 2 ways you can go about it. 1 You can be subtle and buy him tictacs daily. 2 The second way requires you to be blunt but only if you can do away with the fear of losing your job. You should tell him privately that you hope he doesn't mind you sharing a personal observation with him. If he's ok with it, tell him you don't know if he's aware of a condition he has, only if he's curious that's when you should tell him he "sometimes" has bad breath. Don't tell him his condition without offering a solution. Even if it's not a sure solution, tell him you know a drug or herb or whatever that you think he should try, and that if he's ok with it you won't mind getting it for him. This way he'll believe you're genuinely concerned and trust me he's probably aware of his bad breath but just doesn't have cure. Remember it's a dicey situation so be sure of what you're getting yourself into.
Well be happy that its not body plus mouth odour. I have worked with someone thay had both, trust me it was horrible. You can try to have mentol gel around you which you will also have to lick yourself while offering it to him in a nice way. After your meals form the habit of popping listerine Mouth freshner and offering to him again nicely. Please do not make the mistake of telling him he has mouth odour.
There is hardly any respectful way to tell a mouth odour person to do something about it, the best way is, open a: mouthodour@yahoo.com email then use it to send him anonymous email telling him he is polluting the air wherever he sets foot, proceed to wonder how his colleagues at the office cope, tell him he must do something about it for the sake of his colleagues in the office.
Do not send the email from your office internet, go to a cafe so you don't get nabbed via IP address... I hate mouth odour people more than I hate cocroaches
I suggest u buy him a toothpaste or strong mouth was as a bday presnt or if u can't wait till his bday just buy it ASAP. I undastnd ur plight nothing like avn someone wit a mouith odor
its easy... all you need to do, it to buy packet of Tom Tom, give him as a gift or place it on his desk tell him its from you. Am sure he will understand. S hekenan
Just buy him sensodyn toothpaste and tell him ur sis sells the product and u want to promote dia product dat uve tried it the toothpaste is nice dat u also want him to try it and get bak to u
This is how you tell him: by minding your damn business! You know there is a chance he reads this blog? Mouth odor and you are complaining? There are Nigerians who have worked for 8 months without pay and you are worried about your boss' mouth odor? Seriously!! Get used to it, you are not the first person to walk through the doors of that company.
My dear,I can imagine what you are going through. Two things I cant stand mouth odour and body odour,you can get orbit chewing gum use style and tell him that is good for the health and fresh breath or use a more senior person to pass your message# pele o I no envy you at all.
Listen to yourself... you got a well paid job but your boss has mouth odour. You can as well leave the job since you feel your boss made himself. Do you need to move your mouth closer to him b4 hearing him clearly. Mind you, that guy didnt create himself and sure he doesnt pray for his mouth odour. Be thankful to your God, you got the job. Many are outside praying endlessly for that job
A man got to do what a man got to do. Sum up the courage and let him know he needs to see the dentist. AFTERALL, IT IS FOR HIS OWN GOOD. temporight@yahoo.com
Linda, this ur picture for d caption sef...can it be as bad as that?.... well, as for u my friend, I don't see how u can say this without a comeback for u, i'd juz say u shld keep enduring it
Unsolicited advice is either an insult or a gossip. Please do not tell him. Simply pad yourself with a good perfume. When u are breathing out mint and fresh breath, you are likely not to be overwhelmed by another person's bad breath. So always arm yourself with lozenges and mints.
You better zip up your mouth, to avoid sacking u
ReplyDeletehehehe! mouth odour announces itself. just go close to your boss n talk. lol
ReplyDeleteI think u should find someone he relates. very well with in the office to do the telling for u or u could just drop an anonymous note.

Let ur boss be, don't tell him,or else he might hate u for it nd throw u out, u knw wat dt means,nt in ur position to tell him, some1 more closer to him will do dat
ReplyDeleteGet a new SIM card and send him messages, u can also open a new email address and send him mails too, keep bombarding him
ReplyDeleteTry and advertise to him about "WALNUT" by saying, "Sir, i heard walnut is good and healthy to chew on daily basis for early morning breathe". And If he can start chewing that, bad breathe will be a thing of the past even if he was born with it. My 2 cents
ReplyDeleteI had a friend whom was also having same problem, Infact her mouth smells like pit toilet in d mornings when she comes to class.i got her a mouth wash nd spray nd told her dat pple re talking abt her mouth.my dear,dat was d end of our friendship oooooooo she say I dey insult her...so plzzz dont tell ur boss,he go tak am say u dey insult him

Tell him u kn a nice herbal paste,u want him 2 start using
ReplyDeleteIf you're so scared of telling him,present him a good paste that can cure the smell
ReplyDeletemouth odor is the thing of the TONGUE , the tongue is like a towel used many times not wash and not kept where it will get dry but squeeze in a place. if u check the tongue of the man , u will see white or creamish layer on it. what u need do is just get him stuffs that relate to the mouth for instance , mouth spray, mouth wash and may be some kind of distinct past give it to him as a present and tell does are some stuff ma uncle abroad got for us , i guess that will hold him or even make him checkmate himself , or u get close to him,try relate with him, after, stylishly u will fined away to tell him.
ReplyDeleteFirst think about his kind of person,if he takes things too personal u can meet a close friend of his to talk to him to avoid embarrassed!
ReplyDeleteDon't tell him, take in the bad breath if you still want ur job
ReplyDeleteORACLE SAY SO
Don't tell him, mind ur business, enjoy job security and leave it for his wife/girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteBuy him oral b as chrismas gift.

ReplyDeleteYou can't dear and you shouldn't. Let his family members do that! Focus on your work in your place of work that should do for you. It is well. James 4:7. BishopDammy#
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteResign. I hate bad breath too.
ReplyDeleteI guess you have not learnt how to mind your business.
I feel u.buy him a fresh tooth paste. He might decode.#teeaffairs
ReplyDeleteWrite a note bt u v 2 change ur handwriting then u drop it on his deck
ReplyDeleteThere's 2 ways you can go about it. 1 You can be subtle and buy him tictacs daily. 2 The second way requires you to be blunt but only if you can do away with the fear of losing your job. You should tell him privately that you hope he doesn't mind you sharing a personal observation with him. If he's ok with it, tell him you don't know if he's aware of a condition he has, only if he's curious that's when you should tell him he "sometimes" has bad breath. Don't tell him his condition without offering a solution. Even if it's not a sure solution, tell him you know a drug or herb or whatever that you think he should try, and that if he's ok with it you won't mind getting it for him. This way he'll believe you're genuinely concerned and trust me he's probably aware of his bad breath but just doesn't have cure.
ReplyDeleteRemember it's a dicey situation so be sure of what you're getting yourself into.

You can buy him mouth wash as xmas gift well wrapped. Or face your job and leave his mouth odour alone.
ReplyDeleteWell be happy that its not body plus mouth odour. I have worked with someone thay had both, trust me it was horrible. You can try to have mentol gel around you which you will also have to lick yourself while offering it to him in a nice way. After your meals form the habit of popping listerine Mouth freshner and offering to him again nicely. Please do not make the mistake of telling him he has mouth odour.
ReplyDeleteThere is hardly any respectful way to tell a mouth odour person to do something about it, the best way is, open a: mouthodour@yahoo.com email then use it to send him anonymous email telling him he is polluting the air wherever he sets foot, proceed to wonder how his colleagues at the office cope, tell him he must do something about it for the sake of his colleagues in the office.
ReplyDeleteDo not send the email from your office internet, go to a cafe so you don't get nabbed via IP address... I hate mouth odour people more than I hate cocroaches
The same way you would tell him you are tired of you Job! #osinachi
ReplyDeletedon't tell him or you get fired but if you still want to do, put toothpaste in a Christmas hamper

ReplyDeleteThis is how you tell him: by minding your damn business! You know there is a chance he reads this blog? Mouth odor and you are complaining? There are Nigerians who have worked for 8 months without pay and you are worried about your boss' mouth odor? Seriously!! Get used to it, you are not the first person to walk through the doors of that company.
ReplyDeletebuy him a mouth spray as a gift. tochukwujohnny@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteJust buy him a mouthwash and tooth paste as a gift, i'm sure he will get the code... lmao
ReplyDeleteMy dear,I can imagine what you are going through. Two things I cant stand mouth odour and body odour,you can get orbit chewing gum use style and tell him that is good for the health and fresh breath or use a more senior person to pass your message# pele o I no envy you at all.
ReplyDeleteWalnut i hear cures mouth odor. You can stylishly indulge him.
ReplyDeleteYou have to make ur choice, the bad breath or ur job
ReplyDeleteJust be polite and wise in saying it,or better still look for a close friend of ya boss and tell him
ReplyDeleteLol. You don see another job abi?! Better get use to it.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...anyway buy a toothpaste for him as gift...he will get d msg...*winks*
ReplyDeleteplease are you in the job for the pay or for his breath smell?
ReplyDeleteListen to yourself... you got a well paid job but your boss has mouth odour. You can as well leave the job since you feel your boss made himself. Do you need to move your mouth closer to him b4 hearing him clearly. Mind you, that guy didnt create himself and sure he doesnt pray for his mouth odour. Be thankful to your God, you got the job. Many are outside praying endlessly for that job
ReplyDeleteYou didn't stay long in the labour market obviously.
ReplyDeleteDo you sit in his mouth? You better face your work.

Linda, this ur picture for d caption sef...can it be as bad as that?.... well, as for u my friend, I don't see how u can say this without a comeback for u, i'd juz say u shld keep enduring it
ReplyDeleteUnsolicited advice is either an insult or a gossip. Please do not tell him. Simply pad yourself with a good perfume. When u are breathing out mint and fresh breath, you are likely not to be overwhelmed by another person's bad breath. So always arm yourself with lozenges and mints.
