			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The workplace is full of awkward conversations. Which ones are you most reluctant to have? <span id="more-2439"></span></p>
<p>Employees are more comfortable telling co-workers that their zipper is undone than to point out any other embarrassing gaffes, according to a recent CareerBuilder <a href="http://www.careerbuilder.com/share/aboutus/pressreleasesdetail.aspx?id=pr526&amp;sd=9%2f24%2f2009&amp;ed=12%2f31%2f2009&amp;siteid=cbpr&amp;sc_cmp1=cb_pr526_" target="_blank">survey</a>. Two-thirds of employees said they&#8217;d tell a peer about an undone fly, while half would do the same to a higher-level co-worker.</p>
<p>Lowest on the comfort scale? Discussing personal hygiene. Just 28% would tell co-workers they needed a shower. The number&#8217;s just 11% when the dirty employee is higher in the ranks.</p>
<p>The rest of the list:</p>
<ol>
<li>You have food in your teeth (66% for a same-level co-worker, 49% for someone higher)</li>
<li>You have something in your nose (51% and 33% )</li>
<li>You have a stain on your clothes (51% and 34%)</li>
<li>Your hair is messy (33% and 13%)</li>
<li>You need a breath mint (33% and 14%)</li>
<li>Your clothes aren&#8217;t appropriate for the workplace (32% and 10%)</li>
</ol>
<p>What conversations are you most uncomfortable having with your peers? How about folks higher up in the company? Let us know in the comments section below.</p>
