OSP mentioned it earlier. If you are hanging out with Accounting or HR maybe they are all stuffy all the time.

Hang out with the VP of marketing / sales / new accounts / etc. and you'd better plan for a long night of f-bombs and whores.

Marketing not so much in my experience... For some reason they are relatively stuffy as well... Now the sales and business development guys...

Because you're daddy knows your boss, who's your momma's second cousin and you went to school with some of the other assholes you work with. Those you dont know, arent related to and arent in "good" with the boss dont matter, they aren't from around here and you can do whatever you want because they arent members of your club.

Alternately, good old ole boys club aside, most of these "professional" execs you are enamored with got to where they are by stepping on the backs of folks below them. They know how to play the game better and make themselves look golden, so they can behave in a douchey manner and not have any repercussions, because when the bosses are looking (if they arent already the boss) they are on their best behavior.

I've seen it with west coast, mid west, and east coast companies. It doesn't matter. Once you've proved your worth and paid your dues, you can drop f-bombs with the big boys.

Marketing has to be stuffy, because they rarely help the bottom line like salespeople do. Therefore they have to use other ways to protect themselves from getting axed.
