    It is also a career limiting move.

    I dislike people that use profanity around me.

    It probably depends on what your career is.

    If you are following the El Hitman career path, it probably won't.

    Fbombs and inappropriate language/jokes are all part of the work place

    I have never heard the f-bomb at work. At happy hour, it's a different story.

    Obviously nobody likes the guy that curses between every word... but profanity does have an endearing quality... ironically.

    Where I work we actually have a term for it - Refinery Language. You better be able to handle f-bombs on a regular basis, cuz you are gonna hear them often.

    Or, perhaps he hangs around with a lot of folks who don't find it necessary to use profanity.

    A lot of our guys live in Ireland, and they drop the f bomb every other sentence. One of them even did it at a customer briefing.

    Why not just look annoyed instead? You'll get ahead much faster.
