| Please help! It has been six months already and I am ready to blowup any minute. Management has told her not to warm fish in the share kitchen, but she does not listen period. I am seriously ready just to quit today. |

| She’s listening. She’s choosing to ignore the directive. Report her every.single.time. |

| I don’t see what the big deal is. She likes fish. Maybe she’s pescatarian! Your food probably smells to her! Be nice to others! |

I agree that when we start complaining about food smells it is a slippery slope. She can start complaining about the smell of your food. Besides, she could have dietary issues, religious issues or it could simply be cultural. When HR Starts controlling and banning what certain people eat they are stepping into a potential discriminatory lawsuit. |

| Write to HR but request an air purifier for the breakroom to help clear all smells from the area. |

Disagree. We can all agree that there are some scents that are particularly intense for communal spaces—fish, burnt popcorn to name a few. Just as it’s not okay to wear really strong perfume, there is an expectation that co-workers take heed to minimize intense food odors. |

This has to be one of the most asinine threads. Plus I don't believe it.
Most people eat fish so what's the point? She has equal rights to warm up what she wants as long as she cleans up after herself like everyone else. |

Op, get her a plugin food warmer as a gift.
The warmer is contained and she won't be using the microwave, healthy for everyone! Win-win |
