Watch what you say and do!

Ephesians 4:29- Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

A recent survey out today from TheLadders.com reveals that 36% of U.S. bosses have issued a formal warning for swearing, and 6% have fired an employee for it. The poll also found that 81.2% of senior execs find a foul mouthed colleague unacceptable to work alongside in the office. The poll also found that 98.7% believed that the idea of office etiquette does exist and the majority (69.7%) said that they would fire an employee for bad office manners. Of managers who have terminated employees for office etiquette offenses, the top 4 most common causes were:

• Bad language, 38.4%

• Excessive workplace gossip, 36.5%

• Leaving the office without telling anyone, 33.6%

• Too many personal calls, 28%
