I'm going to try not to swear when you're around. Is this a good apology to a coworker? - eviltoast

followed with ‘I wasn’t aware is so important to you. I didn’t want to insult you and if you felt so, I apologize. The word fuck is one I use very often, but I’ll try to control myself around you’

Note I didn’t insult the coworker (no fuck you or fuck off), but simply said ‘fuck’ out loud due to a job error.

    Wow, you’re all wrapped up in power dynamics you have zero sense of courtesy for others.

    Hey, again, you don’t want to play along, that’s fine - you’ll be the one to reap what you sow.

    And in today’s business climate of 360° reviews, HR over-reach, etc, you’ll be the one missing out. Pretty much anyone in a business environment would agree that cussing is inappropriate. If nothing else, it demonstrates someone’s lack of ability to either recognize their audience, or (as in your case), to be dismissive of them.

    Cuss all you want, just don’t cry when you’re offered up during layoffs.

      Curtesy? Dont say dang darn or shoot, theres zero difference, but it’s okay for you to have an outburst of frustration, but not for others?

      Thats hella biased dude.

      All outburst are either acceptable, or they aren’t, why are justifying one’s but disallowing someone else’s? For arbitrary reasons, when they can actually have valid reasons for their use, despite you not wanting to educate yourself.

      This is more than about cussing, it’s about any inappropriate outburst, but of course people try to justify their own, while decrying others.

      The one being biased and harassing someone for something they also do, would be the hr issue and the one up for layoffs dude, do you work in HR or something?
