New CBS 2 memo on 'Fragrance Sensitivity'

Channels 2 and 9 news director Bauer has gone on the

warpath before against perfume and cologne in the office (as well as

against messy desks.) But with the move from Hollywood to the Valley

growing closer, she uncorked a new memo reminding staffers that

maintaining a neutral smell is not just polite, it is newsroom policy.

MEMO

Staff

From: Bauer

Date: 3/8/07

Subject: Fragrance Sensitivity

I write with respect to our upcoming move to the new facility at

the CBS Studio City Broadcast Center.

In a concerted effort to make a more comfortable, healthy and safe

work environment for all employees, I would like to remind you of our

continued directive, as set forth in my memos of March 2, 2006 and

April 5, 2006, that all news area employees (including those working

in edit bays, as well as those who spend a good portion of their day

working in the field), regardless of assigned shift, refrain from

wearing cologne or perfume in addition to any type of body lotion,

after shave lotion, deodorant, etc. that are related to cologne or

perfume product.

Again, please know that I appreciate and expect full cooperation

from every individual.

If you have any questions, please contact me.

Thank you.
