Love Linus&#x27;s answer - &quot;fake civility&quot; in the workplace.<p>Before anybody takes umbrage at Linus&#x27;s response, watch a couple of episodes of The Apprentice - either the Donald Trump (USA) or Alan Sugar (UK) versions. Whilst they don&#x27;t drop F-bombs, their language is pretty &quot;vigorous&quot;.<p>Board rooms, like kitchens are .... &quot;If you can&#x27;t stand the heat ...&quot;<p><i>Might be better to focus on how not to raise the ire of the BDFL!</i>
