Staff Warning - Swearing at Work
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 colleagues.
Due to complaints received from some employees who may be easily offended,
this type of language will no longer be tolerated.
We do, however, realise the critical importance of being able to accurately
express your feelings when communicating with colleagues.
Therefore, a list of 13 New and Innovative' TRY SAYING' phrases have been
provided so that proper exchange of ideas and information can continue in
an effective manner.
1 Try I think you could do with more training
Instead of: You don't have a f***ing clue, do you?
2 Try She's an aggressive go-getter
Instead of: She's' a f***ing b*tch
3Try Perhaps I can work late
Instead of: And when the f*** do you expect me to do this?
4 Try I'm certain that isn't feasible
Instead of: F*** off a*hole
5 Try Really?
Instead of: Well f*** me backwards with a telegraph pole
6 Try Perhaps you should check with......
Instead of: Tell someone who gives a f***
7 Try I wasn't involved in the project
Instead of: Not my f****ing problem
8 Try That's interesting.
Instead of: What the f***?
9 Try I'm not sure this can be implemented within the given timescale
Instead of: No f***king chance mate
10 Try It will be tight, but I'll try to schedule it in.
Instead of: Why the f*** didnt you tell me that yesterday
11Try He's not familiar with the issues
Instead of: He's go his head up his f***ing a*rse
12 Try Excuse me, sir?
Instead of: Oi, F**face
13 Try sorry that has been posted before,
Instead of dumb F**K repost
cheers John
