Dear Blog,

Today during a meeting we were discussing something and it became apparent that there was a broken policy causing the problem. My boss turned to the person that could/should/would fix that and said, “You know what I want you to do? Un-fuck that!”

I regularly use the word "unfuck" in my check-ins.

It's nice to be in a workplace where that sort of commentary can be taken in stride. Is the individual in question going to un-fuck the fucked policy, or is this going to be an issue where offense is taken because of the way it was said?

FWIW, I *love* saying that. It was perhaps more appropriate in my previous career, but I still love it.

That was how my boss delegated fixing the policy to someone.

Google: Not evil -- unfucking the world!

That was my 2nd thought. My first was, damn, you never offered to unfuck me! (although maybe that's a compliment...)

And my 3rd? "Shouldn't that be defuck?" 4th -- 'What defuck?' OK, I'll stop now....

Oh, and this came to me in the shower, but only because I'm a Jersey Girl through and through:

"Google. You give us 22 minutes, we unfuck the world." In that same stoic announcer voice, followed by that energetic music. (I hope 1010 WINS news still plays that!)

Caught that; was just wondering whether it was met with good humor on the part of the designee or resentment. It speaks a lot about a workplace either way.

Good humor on both the speaker and receiver. Absolutely.
