profane language is the word ‘fuck’.
this is not yelling ‘fuck’ at the top of your lungs, but more like ‘aah, fuck’, meaning why do things have to be this complicated? or, why didn’t coworker X did his job as he was supposed to? Why is this documentation not in order?
Have you ever been fired over this? reprimanded at work?
I use ‘fuck’ a lot, not to intimidate anyone, but each time something bothers me, I could as well use ‘come on!!’ but ‘fuck’ comes to me more naturally.
If I get a written warning, is this a reason good enough to start looking for employment elsewhere?
To those of you not in America. Is it different where you are?
Work in Germany, both in some retail jobs as a student, as well as a dev, sometimes in rather ‘fancy’ office environments. No one ever cared, though I only ever cursed about a situation, never a person.
i called in when my truck broke down and said “its all fucked up…er messed up i mean”
my boss said everybody laughed at the call in 😂
I might die if I couldn’t cuss while working. I’d just fucking explode.
I cuss during job interviews, both as the interviewer and applicant.
You got the job, you piece of shit good for nothing…
The difference is between cursing and cursing AT someone.
“The garage door broke.” “Ah, fuck.” - Fine “You fuck.” - Not acceptable
If you get a written warning, it’s probably time to start looking for a new job regardless.
I’m the Forman at my metal shop… If you’re not swearing in front of customers I don’t give a fuck.
As long as you keep a cool head and pay attention to who’s in the building, I’ll let you get away with most things
Back when I worked pizza, that was the rule. But I was able to train myself, and neither the boss nor customers knew what “ОПА БЛЯТЬ!” meant when they heard it from the back of the shop lol.
I’ve had one boss comment on it, but that job was weird. They also only hired white people at that office and a secretary on another floor tried to get me fired because she thought I was gay.
Generally…keep it away from customers and don’t be aggressive. Other than that it probably isn’t a good habit, but I doubt anyone would normally care enough to say something about it.
Well, you could start your own business where you can say what the fuck you want. Or, you could not act entitled like you think you can say whatever the fuck you want in someone else’s business. It’s up to fuckin’ you.
1st amendment bro
…has nothing to do with the OP’s question.
Bad joke?
Which only applies to being able to criticize the US government without persecution. It absolutely does not apply to employees of private businesses and institutions. They can fire the fuck out of your ass over your filthy fucking cum gutter of a mouth.
ITT: American HR vs the world.
Work in software project management. People swear pretty regularly. The higher up in the hierarchy you go, the more they swear. If a job gave me a warning for that I might leave because they treat their employees like children.
Also work in software. Had people swear on 300+ person meetings, vendors meetings, etc. Nobody has ever been written up to my knowledge.
If I’d be in trouble fr saying fuck or swearing in general, I’d be in trouble. I’m a software developer and I have to deal with shit like Microsoft products (any of them) and my own code as well. Good hing i speak enough languages to curse with variety and make it harder for people to know what I say
-I got detention in high school after a teacher overheard a friend of mine asking me if we had homework and i said, “fuck if I know.” Worth it, lol. -I got fussed at working in retail if they heard me swear but never officially written up -at my first accounting job the controller screamed FUCK from inside her office once. Swearing was generally fine here -current job i said “fuck yeah” in a meeting with no consequence. Swearing is generally fine so long as it’s not within earshot of approximately 2 specific people.
I swear… a lot. All the time. I do attempt, at least, to be mindful of the when and where, which is working out for me so far.
Edit: reading comprehension failure, I’m usa lol
if you’re trying to make new lines it has to have 2 spaces at the end
jggrphdjrhyene proving that it works
My boss told me verbally “don’t call your colleague a fascist by email or anything else that leaves a record”, so that was nice of him.
I’m a professional and I conduct myself like one at work. Your coworkers have the right to work in a non-hostile environment, and believe it or not, some people consider profanity to be hostile. Plus, there are more effective ways to communicate your thoughts in a professional environment than through profanity. I’ll occasionally swear with a coworker I’m close with if we’re one-on-one, but never in a group setting. Cursing is expected - almost mandatory - in some careers such as a restaurant kitchen, or a construction site, but I don’t work in that sort of environment anymore.
