Memorandum

From:     Duty Management

To:          All Employees

Subject: Foul Language

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 co-workers.

Due to complaints received from some employees who may be easily offended, this type of language will no longer be tolerated. We do however realise the critical importance of being able to accurately express your feelings when communicating with co-workers.

Therefore, this 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.
