Complaints.

There have been several complaints about the use of offensive language in the workplace. I feel this is due to a lack of verbal expression/articulation amongst staff. This "phrase evolution" may help.

It has been brought to management`s attention that some individuals throughtout the company have been using foul language during the course of normal conversation with other employees. Due to complaints received from some employees who are more easily offended, this type of language will no longer be tolerated.

None the less we do realize the critical importance of idividuals being able to properly experss their feelings when communicating with fellow employees. Therefore, a list of code phrase replacements has been compiled so proper exchange of ideas and information can continue in an effective manner without risk of offending our more sensitive co-workers.
