Lessons from being sexually harassed at Google

Yeah and also some people like to use the f word liberally in office to prove a point or speak some American slang to sound cool. I don't like it and I send memo to HR on each one of them.

I wholly disagree with the use of that word as being offensive.

That said, you should talk to the person in question if you are uncomfortable so they have a chance to "correct" their behavior when around you. That's the generally accepted best practice.

I think f-word sensitivity may be a generational or regional thing. People outside of tech think its horrendous.

Working in technology is neither generational nor regional.

American slang? Do you mean fuck, or the other f word?
