I&#x27;m in the US and in the (admittedly few) jobs I&#x27;ve had in tech swearing hasn&#x27;t been a problem so long as it&#x27;s in conversation. Losing one&#x27;s temper and swearing <i>at</i> someone is a different story, however I&#x27;d argue that in that case the problem is the outburst and not the swearing.<p>In general, I would expect tolerance for swearing at work in the US to vary significantly by region, industry, and role.
