Dear Anyone,

Our office recently hired a new employee for a temporary contract position. In this office there are about 5 of us sitting for most of the day in a fairly spacious but enclosed room.

The new guy has some serious gas problems (silent but deadly). Luckily I sit on the opposite side of the room so it doesn't bother me too much. But the others who sit near him find it unbearable and are often talking about it behind his back. I feel bad for the new guy, and I also feel bad for the folks that have to deal with it — the tension is causing friction. What can I do? Should I do anything?
