Swearing Can Boost Morale @ Work
Filed Under General Nonsense
OK, I knew it! I’m a believer. But before we go further, take a look at the research by a professor in University of East Anglia. Click Here for Details
Several years ago, me and my former teammates jokingly swear at work. We do that regularly and it really feels better. Someone even called the team Samontenista taken from the surname of my officemate whose every sentence either starts with bad word or ends with it or worst, both.
Swearing somehow releases the stress and allows us to take more challenging roles. Of course you have to work harder and smarter. Swearing just helps to lighten the mood and we don’t really mean it. When the composition of the team changed, I scaled down on doing it. The environment changed, I suddenly found myself surrounded with younger teammates and more conservative types. But I do blurt out once in a while. I’m still thinking of returning back as full member of Samontenista! haha…
