How do you tell your superior at work that he/she has bad breathe? So bad that it lingers in the air after he/she leaves your work area and you just have to hide under the desk until the air circulates through? Offering gum hasn't worked.
I don't know why he/she has such bad breathe. He/she doesn't even have to be face-to-face for me to smell the rancid odor drifting across the air.
I just can't stand it anymore.

You have a few options.
1. If you have a good relationship, you go in, close the door and say, "listen, this is really hard and a bit embarrassing, but because we get along really well, I thought I should tell you that you have a problem with bad breath.
2. If you can't bring yourself to do that, leave an anonymous note on the door. Saying something like the above.
3. Make a call to HR. It's kind of silly to say, but they really can help with "touchy" issues.
Any of the above can be said with concern for someone's health. Especially if this is a new issue - not something that has always been the case. My father
had very bad breath right before he almost died from a bleeding ulcer...
