The Yahoo News website reports today (July 27, 2012) that a new survey finds that employees who swear frequently on the job are less likely to get a promotion. And the nation's worst offenders are workers in Washington, D.C.
The Career Builder study found some interesting -- and often conflicting -- results in their survey of 2,298 hiring managers and 3,892 nongovernment employees.
For example, 81 percent of respondents said cursing in the workplace brings an employee's professionalism into question. And 64 percent of employees said they would think less of a co-worker who swears regularly while on the job.
Moreover, 57 percent of managers said they are less likely to promote someone who swears. Majorities also said that swearing makes a co-worker appear less in control (71 percent), less mature (68 percent), and even less intelligent (54 percent).
