    It is also a career limiting move.

    It probably depends on what your career is.

    If you are following the El Hitman career path, it probably won't.

    Fbombs and inappropriate language/jokes are all part of the work place

    I have never heard the f-bomb at work. At happy hour, it's a different story.

    Obviously nobody likes the guy that curses between every word... but profanity does have an endearing quality... ironically.

    Where I work we actually have a term for it - Refinery Language. You better be able to handle f-bombs on a regular basis, cuz you are gonna hear them often.

    Or, perhaps he hangs around with a lot of folks who don't find it necessary to use profanity.

    A lot of our guys live in Ireland, and they drop the f bomb every other sentence. One of them even did it at a customer briefing.

    Why not just look annoyed instead? You'll get ahead much faster.
