second day of work and she has already used the f* word

I have to be on the side of the new girl in this situation...yes, she shouldn't have used expletives but I can understand her anger...she is there to learn from her new job from the person who is leaving so the person who is leaving SHOULD be making time to show her the ropes...while she is tidying up the work she needs to do before she leaves, why not go through it with the new girl so she can understand what's going on?

If she's gonna leaving we will let her be but then of course it must have limitations. If she is a boastful enough that can make quarrel not only with one employee but to everybody then I think it is time to sue her.

Maybe you have put your finger on it. She said that to the other person because she knew she was leaving. She shouldn't have been so disrespectful, but if the other person is supposed to train her, she should train her.

The older generation specially women never use foul language not just at office but even in their own homes and elsewhere. If you watch the present day movies one hears these words so freely. And what about here in myLot have you not come across discussions that are filled with these type of words? I remember once at school someone mentioned the word 'bugs' and the nun promptly objected to it and said that word should be replaced with 'unmentionables'. My upbringing therefore will never make me comfortable with those who are free with profanities specially women.

And here i thought i was bad mannered and tempered, sweetie. She should have waited at least 1 week before showing her true colors. Stupid ninny that she is, just made life harder for herself. Unfortunately first impressions last. TATA.

I am probably goiung to show my age by voicing my disgusr at people who use such language in a place of work or other public place. I am not saying that I have not been heard to swear but never at work - especially as a new girl! I think it just demonstrates a high level of ignorance when people can not express tehmselves vocally without having to depend on bad language in such a way.

Actually, it would give me pleasure to see a young woman behave so aggressively under the circumstances. This girl is strong and knows what she wants - she is no ninny girly girl and she will go far. She already has made the whole office sit up and take notice of her. That's a powerful gift she has. You will always know exactly where you stand with this person.

Oh goodness gracious me, how times are changing! I have been the 'new' girl several times during my working career. I have also been the boss when I ran my own business for thirteen years. I have also been, and right now I am, part of a team but never, ever have I used bad language with colleagues regardless of whether they were seniors or were under me I find no reason to resort to such methods and I can't help wondering who decided that this person was the best for the role that they have and decided to take them on. If they are already showing their true colours this soon, then heaven help those who will have to work together with them in the future months! Neither when I was new or after I became older I would never dream of retaliating in that manner. That does not make for a pleasant working environment and has we have to spend many of of our waking hours at work, I do anything to make them pleasant, even wearing an extra smile where necessary

hi bluemoonpavilion Confuscious say " he who lips off around the boss gets fired" so I would think the new girl should keep her temper' as nobody else wants it, lol, and when blowing it with that nasty F work she is not making herself likeable to the rest of the crew. I have worked as a nurses aide, and never blew up like that or resorted to the f word, I kept my own temper when I was young and new to the job as first impressions always register with people.even when I was older and working in the library I bit my lip to keep from leaving a bad first impression of myself. I would always tolerate things like that instead of making a fuss. Nobody likes complainers thats for sure.

Well I am surprised that she still has a job. I would not allow an employee to continue to work if they were that vulgar in general and on the first day. The first day is all about making good impressions.... (unless of course you are sleeping with the boss) pardon the bluntness! I am sure she will regret it very soon.

Two words: Attitude problem. I think when she's in school, she always uses the word and eventually it became a habit. She has already lost at the second day of work, in that she can't even control her temper. How is she going to develop a good relationship with the rest of the colleagues when she is using the words everytime? If this goes on, nobody will be able to side with her if she is in trouble or withstand her. She really has to change her behaviour or else she might as well don't work.

Bluemoonpavilion, I have got my senses to warn me that i would be making the wrong move, no matter how angry i would get, i possibly could not do that to a senior. She probably had other things in mind, which flared her up for such a small reason. Anyways, she has already cast her impression. Too bad.

That new girl has an attitude!!! She must have respect to her office mate to gain their trust and respect. If she had a problem in her work, where can get help?. that the question she face to herself. like George Bush said. " if you cant defeat them join them". bwahahaha... if i was that girl, i might say sorry for my Senior or office to show that kind of attitude. and i will explain to them why act like that, like i have broke up with my boyfriend. so that they can understand my problems.

hihi, may be because of the stressful work, may be because of the environment, or may be because she is rude, hihi

Honestly, yes you hear peole curse all the time in public places but it's another thing to me when it's at an work area or job of some sort. Think about it like peole say first impression tells you a lot about a person especially when they speak. Now her working at a office and her getting upset about a thing like that shows. She has no patience not only that no respect for the people she works with or her surroundings which is very bad. Especially on a job and it's been your first week or so. Now yes manageres curse and some co workers most of the time peole do it around the people that you feel more comfortable around and not people that don't like you or don't know you at all. Believe this person will be put on there spot soon or later and if not then they won't have a job for too long knowing how they react towards little simple things .

Hi frind The person you are talking about is not showing her temper by using foul words. She is showing lack of manners that if I were her boss I would not tolerate. No matter what the problem, it can be solved with good speech. If she doesn´t have it, it´s not a good employee at any place.

There were times when i was annoyed with one of my senior bugging me but i never dared to say a bad word not that i fear him but i just didn't want to be tagged to be a bad guy.All it takes is a word to change the perception of others about you...when it comes to being good its pretty hard.I think she hurried things a little faster that too on a employee she wouldn't see again as he was leaving.great day.

My motto with working with bad colleagues is basically not to stoop to their level as that would make me well at the lower level then them. Being so new I am surprised by as mysd says times have changed and employees today seem to think they can walk into a new job and dictate. Never ever rock the boat in a new position, keep all eyes and ears open. Once you are broken and have gained trust, then you can express professionally perhaps better changes for the good of all teammates.

hi bmp, language of this nature is definitely a 'no-no' especially by a new girl to a senior. She should just observe protocol. I would think only if the senior did not perform knowledge transfer then could she sound out to the supervisor in charge or HR the actual events rather than create a disturbance. I think the office will view her in a very dim light because of her initial behaviour. A rather silly thing to do - perhaps it has gonna do with youth?

When people are used to swearing, it can slip, even at the office because the swear word is way too common for them. For a anyone to say that at the office, is says a lot about her. It's pretty low class in the work environment. But it's just a word, a sound, an expression. She might be having a bad day, stress at home, issues, etc. So forgive and forget but if the behavior continues, she should be fired and your company should be more careful who they hire and come up with a strict company policy on certain things like swearing, yelling or disrupting the work environment or disturbing others. I only worry about people swearing if they a) plan on marrying in my family and breed. b)I'd be considering marrying them. c)If they're paying my taxes. Otherwise, I don't give a crap. I consider it freedom of expression and bad habit. That's all.
