Goldman Bans Bad Words

Goldman Sachs has banned its employees from using curse words in their emails. Wall Street types are notorious for their foul language, a tendency that brought the firm some embarrassment during an April hearing, when angry senators seized on a Goldman email calling a product “one shitty deal.” The anti-swearing policy will be enforced with screening software. It’s unclear whether shorthand like “WTF” will fall under the ban, which was issued verbally. In June, Citigroup employees got a memo saying that "recent headlines involving inappropriate emails are an important reminder to 'think before writing, read before sending'."
