MEMORANDUM:
It has been brought to management's attention that some individuals
throughout the company have been using foul language during the
course of normal conversation with their coworkers.
Due to complaints received from some employees who may be easily
offended, this type of language will no longer be tolerated. We do
however realize the critical importance of being able to accurately
express your feelings when communicating with co-workers,
therefore, a list of preferred new phrases has been provided so that
proper exchange of ideas and information can continue in an effective
manner without risk of offending our more sensitive employees.
