Fair points all around, stink is probably the only time I actually notice that my thirst and hunger are low too. I usually keep a lunch packed, but I still have to go out in the hallway and sometimes see things happening. Removing hygene rather than replacing it with something else could have a knock-on effect where nobody eats anymore either, since there's only debuffs now.. which you may or may not notice the 2 small squares in the top right of your screen.
I think we could have a different solution from removing the decay or removing hygene. What if we had additional options for slowing the decay, but made things take longer to get back to your department? Freshly laundered clothing could provide a hygene buff, potentially eliminating the decay for 2-4 minutes or longer. And while you're waiting for your clothes to wash, you chat up with someone who's next in line! More opportunities to proactively fight hygene issues rather than only reactively.
