I did not realize that a filthy mouth was a thing until my last job. Why is that a thing? It is a very toxic environment.

“Filthy mouth” is something a stuck up cunt would say. Cultures are different. Unless it turns into verbal abuse, get over it.

There is a huge variety of cultures that speak English and only a subset can’t handle hearing certain words. Having a problem with people swearing is effectively classism in the US.

Some people in this industry think dropping f-bombs constantly makes them edgy.
