New research shows workers are most likely to inform peers of uncomfortable situations such as undone zippers or bad breath and least likely to tip off their superiors. Two-thirds of workers would tell a colleague at the same level if they had food in their teeth or on their face, but only half would tell a higher-up. Two-thirds also would tell a peer about an undone zipper, but only half would tell a higher-up. Half said they would tell a peer about a stain on their clothes, but only a third would tell a superior. A third said they would tell a peer they need a breath mint but just 14 percent would tell a superior.
