A New York man who had spent nine-and-a-half months looking for work and had exhausted his unemployment benefits thought his job search was finally over when he landed a better-paying role at a major technology company through a temp agency. Just hours into his first day, he was told he was being let go over alleged 'hygiene issues'.
The man, who goes by the Reddit username Havocko, described his ordeal in a recent post on the r/BoyDinnerDiaries subred, which triggered a social media storm, with countless users debating whether there was a genuine hygiene problem or the explanation given to him was something else.
