Heads-up: we use explicit language in this episode.
But more importantly, we discuss what “bad words” do at work and why…
…the C word is proliferating among Gen Z employees workers
…the difference between slurs and swears matters
…“the language rules” change depending on who’s speaking and who’s listening
…shows like The Bear use extreme language extremely
…60 uses of F word in a given workday is 1 too many
…your workplace needs a Cussing Tree
Boomer, Xer, Millennial, and Gen Zer have their place around our table: Ken, David, Craig, Emily, LaShone, and Hannah. We don’t have representatives from the Silent Generation. (Still, we’re pretty sure they used explicit language at work, too, but—silently?)
This week, we’re exploring what today’s intensifications of swearing might say about “stuckness” in our workplaces.
