Re: OT: Profanity in the workplace

["Karen L. Zorn" <k -dot- zorn -at- zorntech -dot- com>]

It's not only the workplace that these profanities are offensive. I'm 
president of STC Phoenix and worked with our program manager to schedule 
speakers for this year. I know them all, but two, so far, dropped the F 
bomb and another used phrases that were offensive to some in the 
audience. The Advisory Council talked about this after the last 
speaker's presentation. While we cannot control what comes out of 
someone's mouth, we decided that although the presentations were well 
attended and good, these speakers are now the first entries on our 
do-not-invite list. :((
