Swearing in the Workplace: Do Employees Have the Right to Swear?

 

Review the scope of the problem.

There is no employment law that requires people to be polite or kind. There is no general civility code for the American workplace. Swearing is a difficult problem to grasp let alone attempt to defeat. The potential negative effects of swearing at work are well-known, yet usually go unaddressed. There is considerable subjectivity surrounding swearing often based on the particular work environment, cultural norms, and industry. In some workplaces, swearing is not only tolerated, but encouraged, as part of the organization’s culture. This white paper reviews the question – is profanity a problem? and discusses profanity, the first amendment and public sector workplaces.
