Work / "Stop the swearing in the office." ADVIA wand the Rome branch
Saturday, 12/15/2007 10:00
The Italians? Too vulgar and offensive. This at least according to investment bank AdviCorp London, which has seen fit to formulate an internal memo explicitly addressed the Rome branch in which they are listed in detail the swearing be banned. And from the first paragraph of the document in a very ufficaiale it becomes more specific. "Words like fuck, slut or bitch I broke my dick - we read in paragraph 1 of the press - should not be tolerated or used it for its emphasis to create theatrical effects, no matter how the discussion will be overheated."
Not content to criticize the style of Italian managers considered obscene, the note also contains guidance on how to interact politely with colleagues and superiors. For example in paragraph 3 specifies that: "The project managers, section leaders and administrators should not be defined, for any reason, motherfuckers, balls or morons. "
Then, still not satisfied, the leaders of their strong British aplomb also give guidance on how to control anger and relationship proactively. So in the letter written in the purest style of Mary Poppins, you can read: "When you ask someone to leave us alone, we should not say go fuck yourself, nor should ever be a 'can I help you?' with a 'what the fuck you want?'. "
short stereotypes, perhaps sometimes justified on the Italians seem to never die, even if you do need new ones are arising. It will be for our innate fascination for our taste table and out or around the world because Italy is synonymous with beauty. But it seems that these stereotypes (and envy behind it) will continue to join us for a long time especially in the Anglo-Saxon countries.
Who has not happened by knowledge in the English-speaking countries of having to cope with a labored imitation of the Godfather or of being mocked for the way they gesticulate. If this is the education to which they are proud, it would be nice to be able to take a license to send a. ..
I join the letter is found on the site. Pdf:

this nice letter, however, is antiquated ... So then: AVIDCORP letterhead and signed by Mark M. Elser (elser@avidcorp.com) knows so much about taking the piss, because - with a simple google search with - the bank Avidcorp seems not to exist ... and then: who would put the money in the Avid Corporation?
We want to tell those free?
PS
Ooooooops! I fell into error ... but not AVIDCORP ADVICORP (which really exist !)... but the fact remains that it is a beautiful fake anyway!
