The Pink Slipped Patently Obvious News Desk brings you this report via amNY.com: Employees are less likely to tell someone in a position in power that they&#39;re in for potential embarrassment!  (Ummm&amp;hellip;.really?)  In a recent CareerBuilder poll of 4,400 workers, only 34% said they&#39;d tell a superior he has a stain on his clothes (versus 51% for a person at the same status level).  That disparity was remarkably consistent, even for more serious transgressions of hygiene and decorum.  If the target suffers from bad breath, only 13% would tell a higher-level coworker &quot;You need a breath mint&quot; (versus 33%); for &quot;You have food in your teeth/on your face,&quot; it&#39;s 49% against 66%; if someone needs to be told &quot;You need a shower,&quot; the figures are 11% versus 28%.  (The CB post, which considers a few more fun situations, is much more entertaining than the stripped-down-and-serious treatment on amNY.) &lt;p&gt;Despite the wealth of data collected, analysts still don&#39;t know whether reluctance to tell managers and VPs of a &lt;i&gt;faux pas&lt;/i&gt;-in-the-making results from &lt;b&gt;a)&lt;/b&gt; the fear of possible repercussions or &lt;b&gt;b)&lt;/b&gt; their willingness to let someone in charge look like an idiot among his or her peers, providing humorous fodder for happy hour discussions to come.   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;em&gt;--Posted by Todd Obolsky, Vault Staff Writer&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;embeddedObject&quot; src=&quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/TODDO13/folders/Jing/media/86476a76-e5a2-4181-9ebb-15990592d56c/2009-10-06_1435.png&quot; width=&quot;371&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;510&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
