STOP SWEARING

STOP SWEARING

A few solutions

Recognizing that slipups happen among most of us, SurePayroll president Michael Alter, who publicized the problem with the survey, also offered solutions to limit swearing (in lieu of soap):

Take repeat offenders aside, privately, and remind them of no-profanity expectations in the office.

Make it clear that profanity offends many co-workers and customers and that everyone should make every attempt to quash it on the job.

Make up some “code” cuss words for co-workers. He said one company decided on “brother trucker” and “what the French toast.”

Start an office “swearing fund” and build up an office party kitty that people must contribute to when they let the expletives fly.
