have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work?
profane language is the word 'fuck'.
this is not yelling 'fuck' at the top of your lungs, but more like 'aah, fuck', meaning why do things have to be this complicated? or, why didn't coworker X did his job as he was supposed to? Why is this documentation not in order?
Have you ever been fired over this? reprimanded at work?
I use 'fuck' a lot, not to intimidate anyone, but each time something bothers me, I could as well use 'come on!!' but 'fuck' comes to me more naturally.
If I get a written warning, is this a reason good enough to start looking for employment elsewhere?
To those of you not in America. Is it different where you are?

Learn to code switch better. Profanity is almost never useful in a professional environment.
Never hurts either
It absolutely can lead to people treating you poorly, so yes it can hurt you if you do it.
Not using profanity doesn't tend to cause the same issue, even in workplaces where its common.
