FOUL
LANGUAGE AT WORK
It has been brought to management's
attention that some individuals throughout the group 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 be no longer
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 "TRY SAYING" 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.
