Does your job stink? I mean, does it smell bad where you work?

Robert Half, the employment company, says 46 percent of employees will ignore distracting and annoying smells and suffer in silence.

Smells in the workplace include employees eating stinky food. That’s the most annoying coworker behavior, according to the survey.

Other annoyances include colleagues who wear too much body fragrance, and the wafting of other strong scents, such as incense or candles.

Robert Half reported that about one-fifth of respondents said their companies have a scent-free policy in the workplace.
