Do you curse or have other people cursing in your workplace??

[Red Squirrel]

I don't but others do sometimes, but nothing over the top. I sometimes slip up and swear, but for some reason it's always considered a huge deal if I do so I have to watch out even more than the others.

 

[rudeguy]

Of course.

I tend to keep my sailor vocabulary to myself until something goes horribly wrong. Even then, I don't tend to waste my time yelling at co-workers that simply aren't worth it.

 

[KeithTalent]

Yep, all the fucking time.

I work at a lumber yard. My problem is trying to stop swearing after work

Hey, it's the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh! I used to live with a house full of Rajneeshees in Boulder. What a bunch of fruitcakes. They were moderately entertaining, at least, and the women loved to walk around the house naked.

Not really. I would say it's more or less looked down upon (anything more than an occasional "damnit", "shit") at my current job. It's been something I've had to get used to; my previous job it was pretty much a free-for-all and there were no females, so between myself and my manager there were some pretty interesting/colorful things said.

Very rarely and only when I know the company around me very well.

I prefer to stay under radar at all times and just ride out this job thing till retirement.

All the mother effing time. It reminds me that the people I'm working with are people.

I've worked in some offices where I held back though. The people around me seemed really reserved and/or were religious.

Having said that, there's swearing and then there's all-out raging. One accounting place I worked at, there was a guy who was cool most of the time, but holy shit, sometimes he would just pop his top and rage, throw an expletive filled fit, on the verge of hitting things/people.

 

[Mixolydian]

I work in a blue-collar warehouse environment. Practically every other word out of people's mouths is a curse word.

 

[shortylickens]

Shit NO, motherfucker!!

 

[Midwayman]

One place I used to work had a saying. "Swearing is caring."

 

[zinfamous]

All the fucking time.

we're all a bunch of cunts in here.

 

[herm0016]

i work in oil. so fuck yea we swear a lot. even in the office.

 

[zinfamous]

I'd be cursing all the fucking time, too, if I had to work in oil.

 

[boomhower]

Yes, constantly on both counts.

 

[OutHouse]

Thanks to the Windstream nation wide outage I lost count how many fucks our network and telecom engineers let fly today.

 

[nageov3t]

yeah, it's pretty common.

the only guy on my team who doesn't regularly curse is the one super religious guy... he never says anything about anyone else cursing, though, just doesn't participate himself.

As a software engineer, let's face it: sometimes one simply has to sweet-talk the software into submission. Gee, once in a while some of this stuff would make Mother Teresa curse like a drunken sailor.

Same here. Even the refinery manager swears it up.

 

[Sho'Nuff]

I am cursing you right now.

Cursing on the job can get you fired. Now, you need to be careful. I had a friend who was fired because he cursed too much. He was warned many times. The last straw was when a coworker complained. He was fired.

Businesses are so concerned with being sued anymore.

I think the lesson there is more "do what your boss tells you to do" and less "be afraid to express yourself because you might get sued." If they'd just shut up when told the first time it wouldn't have been an issue.
