Graduates may be interested to learn that swearing is a major annoyance for UK bosses, with research showing one in ten had fired an employee for this reason. The study was commissioned by search and selection firm The Ladders.co.uk and surveyed some 1,000 senior executives. It also revealed that 17 per cent considered bad manners, lunchtime boozing, making personal calls on company time and gossiping about colleagues as potential sacking offences. Some 47 per cent of respondents said they would fire an employee for foul language, while 96 per cent said they would find it hard to tolerate a member of staff that swore continually. Sarah Drew, general manager of TheLadders.co.uk said that many employees felt it acceptable due the glamorisation of colourful language by people like Gordon Ramsey. "But employees beware, in every office there exists an invisible line between professional and unprofessional behaviour and swearing Ramsay style definitely crosses the line," she advised.
