How much swearing....

Goes on in your office? And by whom?

In my office everyone and the fricking postman swears at EVERYTHING. I agree, I do it as well, I enjoy it. But I was wondering how accepted this was in offices in the states (keeping in mind that I live in a country where the C-U-Next-Tuesday word is hardly an insult and calling someone a co.ck is a regional greeting) So how acceptable is it for you to swear in front of your boss and/or co-workers.

Okay me old muckers!

edited for grammar! Bad ungramatically correct racheeeee!!!

My boss (who is a director) can't control the stuff that comes out of his mouth!! It makes for very entertaining staff meetings and "sayings" that live on in infamy!!! Chat Icon

Not too much, but I notice it's done more by the higher ups.

Re: How much swearing....

First of all, your post cracked me up...

Secondly, I don't hear much swearing. Every now and again. I think its more frowned upon than anything, although I sound like a truck driver when I'm home!!

I work with all men - so they are pretty much swearing all day long Chat Icon

I will sometime say the "s word" but I have never dropped an F-bomb. It's actually an ongoing thing in my office. The guys try to make me say it b/c I never do. When I'm home - that's a different story. Chat Icon

The saleguys- and quite often. Potty mouth ivy-leaguers cursing in their "proper" & preppy english. They sound rediculous.
