A sexual harassment training person would have fainted in my office.
I’m now using a speech recognition program, so the quantity and volume of my swearing has gone up by orders of magnitude.
Global 50 company. Some swearing but have a top exec that finds it offensive. Plus decades of HR. I don’t even think about sexual innuendo.
I previously worked on trading floors in Asia. Which was about as extreme as anything. I miss those days but it ain’t the end of the world.
None. At any place I’ve worked at this millennium.
Except that time two men stood up from the conference table to make pumping motions from their groins.
Nice username/post combo. 
When I first started at the large-ish law firm 20 years ago, the average age skewed young and booming business made it a high-stress place. Language and behavior skewed filthy and even occasionally scandalous. (I will say, though, that when the big-company client rep visiting from out of town offered his hotel room key to our 19-year-old IT clerk and thereby freaked her out, the partner on that matter made a few calls and got us a new client rep).
Now that I’m so much older and working for the government, the office climate is squeaky clean.
<8 people in our office and all I do is sell to plumbers on da nortwest sida Chicago so, yeah, about as inappropriate as you’d imagine.
I work in an office with 8 other women, all between 35 and 50. We talk about everything from breast augmentation to what kind of batteries are longest lasting in a personal massager. “That’s what she said” jokes are constantly floating around.
When the CFO comes by he often leaves in a hurry. Guess he embarrasses easily.
No racism, but plenty of other inappropriate banter. I love those ladies!
Oh, a lot.
None at all allowed. We have 3 full days of brainwashing, I mean training, every year in the proper language and responses. The words we are allowed to use resemble the English language but have different meanings.
It is a very PC, very stifling environment. Many common words are unacceptable to use. For instance you cannot call anyone a liar. The correct term to use for “liar” is “inaccurate reporter.”
I shit you not.
I’m a Medicare biller right now and before that I sold Medicare products. I bet the hysterical laughter is reaching epic proportions. My sympathies.
How often is it the case that, in a work setting, it is necessary to accuse someone of being a liar?
When dealing with rebellious students, I would say often.
Inaccurate reporter, inaccurate reporter, breeches conflagration.
Well, the other night I walked in on one guy telling another a story about his run in with a woman, whom he thinks was actually the devil, telling him to eat her pussy. So, yeah, I would say there is at least some.
