You Can't Say That Anymore!

Are you using common words and phrases that are now considered socially inappropriate? Culturally appropriated or insensitive? Derogatory? Overly gendered? Non-inclusive? Or just annoying and overused? If so, you are not alone. In this episode, Mary and Chris explore words and phrases that are now deemed problematic.

We’d love to tell you what they are, but we don’t want to get in trouble with the language police, so you’ll have to listen to learn what is acceptable and what isn’t in today’s enlightened and more inclusive world. Don’t say that we didn’t warn you.

 And just for the record, we’ll miss some of these expressions!

 Show us your love. Please give us a review wherever you listen to your podcasts. 

 We’re here to help you succeed! Send us your workplace dilemmas or career questions. Email us:  info@cubicleconfidential.com or tweet us: @cubicleconfide1. All names will be changed to protect the guilty and innocent...
