YES, every one I deal with are fv#king idiots.

I only see my boss once every few months, and don't know if he swears or not.

I never do. I am already young looking, I need to look as in control as possible. My boss, OTOH, she does all the time. She sounds like a breakdown waiting to happen some days.

I don't curse in front of the boss, but around my peers sometimes. The boss does swear though, like a sailor!

I voted no on both, because it is not the norm around here. Naturally everybody slips up from time to time.

Same (although I do curse under my breath or with a few of my co-workers -- my boss curses like a sailor in meetings, which is a step beyond what I'm comfortable with).

Yes to both - the corporate culture here is very straightforward.

Yes & yes.

Behind closed doors/in the car only, though. Not in front of civilians.
