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 co-workers. Due to complaints received
from
some employees who may be easily offended, this type of language will no
longer be tolerated. We do, however, realize the critical importance of
being
able to accurately express your feelings when communicating with
co-workers.
Therefore, a list of 18 New and Innovative 'TRY SAYING' phrases have
been
provided so that proper exchange of ideas and information can

continue in an effective manner.
Number 1
TRY SAYING: I think you could use more training.
INSTEAD OF: You don't know what the f___ you're doing.
Number 2
TRY SAYING: She's an aggressive go-getter.
INSTEAD OF: She's a f___ing bit__.
Number 3
TRY SAYING: Perhaps I can work late.
INSTEAD OF: And when the f___ do you expect me to do this?
Number 4
TRY SAYING: I'm certain that isn't feasible.
INSTEAD OF: No f___ing way.
Number 5
TRY SAYING: Really?
INSTEAD OF: You've got to be sh___ing me!
Number 6
TRY SAYING: Perhaps you should check with...
INSTEAD OF: Tell someone who gives a sh__.
Number 7
TRY SAYING: I wasn't involved in the project.
INSTEAD OF: It's not my f___ing problem.
Number 8
TRY SAYING: That's interesting.
INSTEAD OF: What the f___?
Number 9
TRY SAYING: I'm not sure this can be implemented.
INSTEAD OF: This sh__ won't work.
Number 10
TRY SAYING: I'll try to schedule that.
INSTEAD OF: Why the f___ didn't you tell me sooner?
Number 11
TRY SAYING: He's not familiar with the issues.
INSTEAD OF: He's got his head up his a__.
Number 12
TRY SAYING: Excuse me, sir?
INSTEAD OF: Eat sh__ and die.
Number 13
TRY SAYING: So you weren't happy with it?
INSTEAD OF: Kiss my a__.
Number 14
TRY SAYING: I'm a bit overloaded at the moment.
INSTEAD OF: F__ it, I'm on salary.
Number 15
TRY SAYING: I don't think you understand.
INSTEAD OF: Shove it up your a__.
Number 16
TRY SAYING: I love a challenge.
INSTEAD OF: This f___ing job sucks.
Number 17
TRY SAYING: You want me to take care of that?
INSTEAD OF: Who the f___ died and made you boss?
Number 18
TRY SAYING: He's somewhat insensitive.
INSTEAD OF: He's a pr_ck.
Thank You,

Yikes. I've gotten a similar list in the past. We called them "Workplace frustration lexicons."

Dumb. Really dumb.
 
I know it's a joke, but lemme tell ya, not only do we curse at work in the course of normal conversation, but if you aren't cussed out at least once a day, no one likes you.
 
Man, my work is CORPORATE based.... You should hear what is SAID.... Needles to say, no email has come out like this, but I might distribute it to the supervisors at work...

**** US ROYALLY the day before our quarterly bonus (that's Friday before working a Saturday no overtime because I cut time to help make bonus), and today announce that we are having our 'awards' banquet at hotel with HUGE buffet and band for you and guest where all managers are up for the big award (other then me last year) and the DC manager gets the award who's PAID TOO MUCH to do exactly what the award is for and is a complete A$$ who ****S everybody and takes credit for EVERYTHING... The'd be so ****ED without me...

Not to mention trying to give me an occurrence for half a sick day after two 'supervisors' TOLD me to go home... Long story....

GOD I hate my job and the economy/job market sucks.... Sorry for the RANT... I could add more...

Good home brew...

wow. this would be like trying to learn Japanese for me
 
Hey it could be worse. SWMBO got written up at her old job for saying "crap". I can't believe she lasted as long as she did there. Everyone was treated like kindergardeners.
 
She probably got written up because her words previous were "I think your management style is a steaming pile of"
