Profanity at work may take your professionalism points down a notch in your boss' eyes. According to a new survey from CareerBuilder, 64 percent of employers say they look down on employees who use curse words regularly.
Apparently this applies to everyone, including teen heart-throb Justin Bieber. Just being "The Biebs" alone counts as a job both on and off stage, so when a mother on an Air New Zealand flight heard him using colorful language, she was not happy about it.
The mother of two reprimanded Bieber saying "stop yelling curse words and using that kind of language on a plane. It's not appropriate."
Similar to the mom on the plane, your employer is just as likely to not approve of your potty mouth while you're at work either.
The survey found that 81 percent of employers believe that an employee's professionalism is put into question if they swear at work.
Also found was that 57 percent of employers said they would be less likely to provide cursing employees with a promotion.
Over half of workers admitted to swearing while at work, and 95 percent of them said they do so while other co-workers are around. Fifty-one percent admitted to also doing it in the presence of their boss.
Employees are however not the only offenders who display a potty mouth at work. Twenty-five percent of employers were found to swear directly at their employees while in a work settings.
Here are ten cities where swearing is most likely to take place at work:
1. Washington D.C. - 62 percent
2. Denver - 60 percent
3. Chicago - 58 percent
4. Los Angeles - 56 percent
5. Boston - 56 percent
6. Atlanta - 54 percent
7. Minneapolis - 50 percent
8. Phoenix - 47 percent
9. New York - 46 percent
10. Philadelphia - 44 percent
