Memo to all Miami Branch employees.
Several visitors to our office have brought to our attention that our
Spanish-speaking, particularly Cuban and Venezuelan, employees commonly use offensive language. Such behavior in addition to violating firm practices, is highly
unprofessional, offensive both to visitors and employees, and will not be
tolerated. Therefore, we have decided to implement a series of rules in our
office and would expect them to be applied. It is expected that ALL
employees immediately adhere to these rules:
1. Words like coño, carajo, and other such expressions will not be used for
emphasis, no matter how heated the discussion may get..
2. You will not say la cagó when some one makes a mistake or se cagó en su
madre if you see someone being reprimended. All forms and derivatives of the
word cagar are inappropriate in our environment.
3. Lack of determination will not be referred to as falta de cojones, huevonerías, or
mariconerías, nor will a person with lack of initiative be referred to as
mamao or comemierda o huevón ni pajuo.
4. No Manager or Supervisor, under any circumstances will be referred to as
hijo de puta, ese cabrón, or ese maricón.
5. Unusual or creative brainstorming meetings will not be referred to as
pajas o mojones mentales.
6. Do not say como jode if a person is persistent, or se jodió if somebody
is going through a difficult situation. Furthermore, you must not say que
jodienda, or esto está del coño su madre when matters become complicated in
your line of work.
7. When asking someone to leave you alone, you should not say vete pa’l
carajo, nor will you substitute qué carajo quieres? for “may I help you?”
8. When leaving the office, using the term me voy pa’l carajo is not proper.
9. When any office equipment fails, it must be reported as “it broke down”
not se descojonó, se descoñetó, or se jodió la mierda ésta.
10. Last but not least, after reading this memo, please do not say me voy a
limpiar el culo con esto. Just keep it clean and file properly.
Thank you for your cooperation.
The Boss, not el que más mea
Jajajajajajajajajajajaja que vaina tan buena
