Several visitors to our office have brought to our attention
that our Spanish-speaking employees commonly use offensive
language.
Such behavior, in addition to violating firm practices, is
highly unprofessional, offensive both to visitors and employees, and
will not be tolerated.
Therefore, we have decided to implement a series of rules in our
office and would expect them to be applied. It is expected that
ALL employees immediately adhere to these rules:
1- Words like coño, carajo and other such expressions will
not be used for emphasis, no matter how heated the discussion may get.
2- Non important matters should not be addressed to as
pendejadas.
3- You will not say la cagó when someone makes a mistake,
or se cagó en su madre if you see someone being reprimanded. All
forms and derivatives of the word cagar are inappropriate in our
environment.
4- Lack of determination will not be referred to as falta
de cojones or mariconerias, nor will a person with lack of initiative
be referred to as pendejo, mamao or comemierda.
5- No Manager or Supervisor, under any circumstances, will
be referred to as hijo de puta, ese cabron, or ese maricon.
6- When a good proposal is presented, the term esto esta
de pinga must not be used.
7- Unusual or creative brainstorming meetings will not be
referred to as pajas mentales.
8- Do not say
como
jode if a person is persistent, or se jodio if somebody is going
through a difficult situation. Furthermore, you must not say que
jodienda, or esto esta del coño when matters become complicated
in your line of work.
9- When asking someone to leave you alone, you should not
say vete pa'l carajo, nor will you substitute ?que carajo
quieres? for "may I help you?".
10- When leaving the office, using the term me voy pa'l carajo
is not proper.
11- When any office equipment fails, it must be reported as "it
broke down", not se descojono, or se jodio la mierda esta.
12- Last but not least, after reading this memo, please do not
say me voy a limpiar el culo con esto. Just keep it clean and
file properly.
Thank you for your cooperation.
