    PROBLEMAS CON LA SUCURSAL EN CHILE

    (Memo interno escrito por el gerente general de una compaa


    multinacional de capitales norteamericanos, en reaccin a la cultura
    existente dentro de su filial en Chile).
    From : General Manager
    To : All spanish speaking staf
    Subject : Improper Language Usage
    It has been brought to our attention by several officials visiting our
    establishment in Santiago that ofensive language is commonly used by
    our spanish speaking staf. Such behavior, in addition to violating our
    policy, is highly unprofessional and ofensive to both visitors and
    staf. Therefore, all personnel will immediately adhere to the following
    rules:
    1. Words like guevn, conchetumadre or hijoeputa and other such
    expressions will not be tolerated or used for emphasis or dramatic
    efect, no matter how heated a discussion may become.
    2. You will not say la cag when someone makes a mistake, or la est
    cagando if you see somebody being reprimended, or qu cag when a major
    mistake has been made. All forms and derivations of the verb cagar are
    utterly inappropriate and unacceptable in our environment.
    3. No project manager, section head or administrator under any
    circumstances will be referred to as hijoeputa, culiao, la puta que lo
    pari, guen conchesumare or chuchaesumare.
    4. Lack of determination will not be referred to as falta de gueas nor
    will persons who lack iniciative be referred to as cagn, maricn or
    pelotudo.
    5. Unusual or creative ideas ofered by the management are not to be
    referred to as pajas mentales.
    6. Do not say puta que hincha las hueas if a person is persistent.
    Furthermore, you must not say cagamos (refer to item #2) when a matter
    becomes excessibly complicated.
    7. When asking someone to leave you alone, you must not say andate a la
    chucha nor should you ever substitute May I help you? with Que mierdas
    queris?
    8. Under no circumstances should you ever call our elderly industrial
    partners viejos culiaos.
    9. Last but by no means least, after reading this note please don't say
    me la paso por la raja. Just keep it clean and dispose of it properly.
    Thank you.
