  • Cursing at Work

    I received this email and I had to share it with everyone.

    For those you have already read it and have something negative to say, please don't be "somewhat insensitive" as you post a reply.

    Dear Employees:

    It has been brought to management's attention that some individuals throughout the company have been using foul language during the course of normal conversation with their co-workers.

    Due to complaints received from some employees who may be easily offended, this type of language will no longer be tolerated.

    We do, however, realize the critical importance of being able to accurately express your feelings when communicating with co-workers.

    Therefore, a list of 18 New and Innovative 'TRY SAYING' phrases have been provided so that proper exchange of ideas and information can continue in an effective manner.

    Number 1

    TRY SAYING: I think you could use more training.

    INSTEAD OF: You don't know what the f___ you're d oing.

    Number 2

    INSTEAD OF: She's a f___ing b__ch.

    Number 3

    INSTEAD OF: And when the f___ do you expect me to do this?

    Number 4

    Number 8

    TRY SAYING: That's interesting.

    INSTEAD OF: What the f___?

    Number 9

    TRY SAYING: I'm not sure this can be implemented.

    INSTEAD OF: This sh__ won't work

    Number 10

    When did FFXIO become a place for people to post shitty email forwards?

    Fuck, it was bad enough before Malacite people don't give a shit about things he likes, but this is getting old fast.

            Where I work, not swearing is considered offensive. Especially if a tile explodes in your hand and shards stab your arms and face.

                What do you do that can cause a tile to explode in your hand!?

                        Although you have to admit that joke is pretty bad. And probably better suited as a post in the bored at work thread instead.

                        But yeah, I don't think anyone actually cares about stuff like that so...

                        Carry on!

                            I lay tile as well as hang drywall, masonry, landscaping, etc. The water saw I use crushes tiles apart rather than cutting through them, and over time the friction wears the blade down and it gets pits in it. The pits can cause the blade to seize up and explode in my hands if I'm not careful, and when it happens it's usually time for another blade. I also have an old glass cutter that sends shards flying once in awhile, depending on how cheap the tile is that I'm working with. Getting stabbed with tile shards is one of those things that's part of the job, and if you stick with it you learn to laugh at it. Any day I walk away from a job unscathed is a bad day.

                              By the by, this IS in the Off-Topic section of the forum. I see nothing wrong with posting anything here as long as it doesn't violate the forum rules, and this doesn't.
