You haven't mentioned at all if anyone has tried to discuss this with the woman. Is there a possibility she doesn't know she is utterly repulsive ( not in those words, of course). Is she a good employee? Does she have a pleasant personality? The reason I am asking is, perhaps there is a possibility she doesn't KNOW how she is offending you. Is it possible, if she knew, she would make an effort to change? Of course, if she is just a complete < insert bad word> and doesn't give a <insert another bad word of choice> what anyone thinks, discussing it with her wouldn't help.

This sounds silly, and if you are male, it probably wouldn't be a good idea since it could be perceived as being a romantic overture, but have you considered getting her a gift certificate to some place like a spa where they have personal grooming tips as well as treatments, such a manicures, pedicures, hair styling, etc? Maybe purchase a gift certificate for her and send it anonymously---it is possible she just doesn't know how offensive she is?

Have you ever gotten home from a meeting or dinner with a client and realized <eeks> you had a piece of food inbetween your teeth? You wonder, "Why didn't they TELL me?" And you are embarrassed? Of course, the issue you are relating is much more appreciable and it would be hard to bring up this to her without her feelings being hurt, at first---but in the long run, do you think she would appreciate knowing?

To me the obvious answer to all of this is simply tell her. Is this a possibility, as unpleasant as it may seem?

I feel for you--I have never been in your position, and I hope things work out for you.

Best wishes.
