A fair amount of swearing goes on at my work. Not directed at people, more just people venting.
yep, generally not around customers or management, however.
On the first day of work, one of the partners said this:
"This is a professional work place, and there's zero tolerance for words like 'lovely human', 'bitch', or any other demeaning language. But this is also a trading floor, and if words like 'shit' offend you, then fuck you."
no because im not a cretin. and no one else really does either, we are true professionals, not blue collar jocks or after-school supermarket teens.
