MEMO A TODOS LOS EMPLEADOS !

MEMORANDUM A CUMPLIR A CABALIDAD ! ! ! !

Several visitors to our office have brought to our
attention that our Spanish-speaking, particularly
Puerto Ricans, 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- Non important matters should not be addressed
to as pendejadas.

3- You will not say la cagó when someone 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.

4- Lack of determination will not be referred to
as falta de cojones or mariconerías, nor will a person
with lack of initiative be referred to as pendejo,
mamao or comemierda.

5- No Manager or Supervisor, under any
circumstances, will be referred to as hijo de puta,
ese cabrón, or ese maricón.

6- When a good proposal is presented, the term
esto está de pinga must not be used.

7- Unusual or creative brainstorming meetings will
not be referred to as pajas mentales.

8- 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.

9- 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?".

10-When leaving the office, using the term me voy pa'l
carajo is not proper.

11-When any office equipment fails, it must be
reported as "it broke down", not se descojonó, or se
jodió la mierda ésta.

12-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
