There was a time when cursing at work seemed to be the norm in
many businesses. Whether in a shop, an office, a hospital or
other work environment, swearing and cursing can still occur.
One research study out of London published in a 2007 issue of the
Leadership and Organization Development Journal suggested
that swearing at work can be a good thing, helping boost team
spirit and allowing individuals to better express their
feelings. Really?
Another *#%&!! Lawsuit?
We often see complaints and lawsuits result from cursing at
work. There have been cases alleging that certain swear words
are inherently racist, sexist, or otherwise offensive to
individuals belonging to a particular protected class (national
origin, religion, etc.).
