    As an employer I would be concerned that my employees aren’t bright enough to lie to me properly.

      And that their professionalism is so low they’re comfortable dropping f bombs in texts right after lying.

          I once had a boss who I screamed, “go fuck yourself!” at and stormed out. And then he called me up and begged me to come back.

          That guy was a trip to work for in many ways, but when everyone at the office (it was a very small office) ganged up on him to tell him he was being a fuckhead, he would usually see it their way.

          Depends on the size and industry of the company usually, too. My boss, coworkers and I swear all the fucking time, but it’s literally 4 of us and we don’t interact with customers in person or over the phone.

        Do you work in a church? In the real world, most adults are absolutely fine with profanity. This isn’t a professional email to corporate or a circular meant for the general public, it’s a text to a direct boss. “Fuck” isn’t outside established decorum here.
