Aditi Verma Thakur, managing partner, Aishani Partners, a professional who deals with employment-related issues, says cussing in office could be misconduct, but not all abusive words end up in violation of Posh. “It is important to understand what is Posh violation and whether a cuss word is falling within the scope of Posh abuse… If anyone complains, it is generally brought in as a breach of the code of conduct but rarely under Posh, unless the context suggests the other way.”
