yeah.. and it's hard because i'm technically her boss
i don't know if i should just tell my boss or tell HR about it? it's honestly a huge problem other employees mentioned it to me too
Talk to HR first and ask what their policy on complaints is. If they want you to talk to her just sit her down and tell her some employees have complained about an odor coming from her workspace. Don't say "you smell," just put it out there that there is a smell without specifically telling her she's stanky. Say you don't know what it is but you've received multiple reports that it's distracting to other employees.
Or you could carry a bottle of perfume and sneakily spray her with it throughout the day.
