DKF Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 My old boss was once written up for using the 'F' word in an agrument at work and some broad complained. Yet when he was yelling at a contract asking him what his problem was getting something done, the whole floor heard him shouting that 'trained monkeys can do this and you can't'. With no reprocussions. I'd rather hear the 'F' bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather hear the 'F' bomb. i once worked for a company where our Director Of Stores questioned how we would utilize personnel to open new stores... her response was "A monkey can do it"...oh and she questioned it at one of our company wide annual meetings and the COO and CEO were present too....shortly after i left that company i found out she was fired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylive5 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 I work with ex-sailors. The absolute hardest thing in the world to do is to learn to curb your language when you are no longer in the military. It's just so easy to say f'it and continue on as before. Scroom if they can't take a joke is how I look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
