From: The Boss
Re: Foul Language
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 coworkers. Due to complaints received from some
employees who are easily offended, this type of language
will be no longer tolerated. We do, however, realize the
critical importance of being able to accurately express
your feelings when communicating with coworkers. Therefore,
a list of new phrases has been provided so that proper
exchange of ideas and information can continue in an effective
manner without risk of offending our more sensitive employees.
