It's unprofessional regardless of which word she used.

Since the OP won't reply so we can all ridicule him for being uptight (if appropriate), I'll go ahead and respond now.

Not really. If she said "It's hot as hell outside, let's get ice cream after work" then there is nothing wrong with that.

But if she said "Becky is a fucking bitch, so ignore her invite and come eat dinner with me!" then there is a problem.

Still unprofessional. Regardless of the fact that hell is a harmless word, writing it in an email at a lot of companies would be off-putting to a lot of people, me included, and if I were a manager I'd certainly frown on that behavior when it came time to fill a promotion. I wouldn't want to be promoting people who might talk like that to customers. I don't mind people who cuss at work but sending it around in an email or memo is stupid.

Wow, you're even more uptight than the OP.

where do you work?

Small office of about 40 people who don't get their panties bunched up about the word hell.

title of email was dinner bitches

not the F word but still unprofessional through work emails

where do you work? maybe it's OK with the other coworkers. You know, those people that don't generally invite you to hang out with them b/c you're a complete drag?

2) I don't want to hang out with them anyway. Waste of time and money. Thanks

exactly

I pointed out that hell is a harmless word and I definitely say much "worse" at work, but the fact remains it is dumb to use in that medium, especially depending on who will be receiving it.

I'm not trying to be snotty but it's just unprofessional unless there is explicit instruction from the higher-ups that anything goes. I'd still never do it but I could see it being more okay at a place like that.

This. Not only is it unprofessional, but it can create legal liability as well.

Dumb or not, would it bother you if it was just internal? Would you post about it on ATOT? Would you complain to HR? Would you take the rest of the day off and suck your thumb? 😛

Haha no. I mostly likely wouldn't think anything of it. 😛

I would imagine some people might be offended by it for religious reasons.

Let me rephrase my POV a little differently: At work I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to all things related to professionalism. I'd hate to stunt my career over something as trivial as this.

Actually, yes, it could. An employee can claim that ANY cursing offends their religious sensibilities, and if it continues after that, with no action taken, then that employee has a religious discrimination claim.

However, I wasn't talking about that specific phrase, but cursing in general.

listen guys

it's not about me getting offended, I'm more concerned about her future and her decision making skills
you do not curse in work emails with the title "dinner bitches?"

I curse all the time but I never type it in the form of email sent to your co-workers

title of email was dinner bitches

not the F word but still unprofessional through work emails

ha see that wouldn't have been a problem here. However we did have a massive email spam the other day of word suggestions for our blacklist... sending DonkeyShow to the entire studio got some fun responses.

Dear Summer,

The fact that you call it "cursing" and say "the F word" instead of FUCK indicates you are uptight and likely extremely boring.

All the best,

This thread has the feeling of a stuffy corporate office. Thank God I never worked in a environment like that. Unprofessional this, unprof. that, bla blah blah. Hell at my job after work some guys sit out in front of the shop and have beers and you can hear every word in the book. From the outside corporate life looks great but really its just a bunch of uptight brown nosers looking to step over anyone they can to get to the top.
