It all depends who the swearing is about in an office. Anyway most of the bosses I’ve known have been worse than the employees.

That’s funny.

I would see why swearing could enhance a team spirit.

In the Western business culture, things are much more appropriate and politically correct disregarding if it is with customers or with colleagues. But if you go to a culture like Japan, it is a “must-do” that employees do something stupid together to have a bonding experience and boost morale. Even with customers as well, you have to do something stupid to entertain customers. Swearing is not a good way to entertain customers, even in that culture….

Also not a good idea in front of your spouse and kids.

Very funny. If I ever dropped the “f bomb” in front of my customers I could expect them not to return!

He only says “In most scenarios …” so I’m wonder when he thinks it’s OK to swear at customers.

Personally I think I’ll keep trying not to swear in front on anyone.

One more reason to start your own business-sans the swearing. = )
