    Using slang at work

    Has anyone come across (young) people using slang at work, as suggested in this article? I haven't but perhaps others have. I find it amazing that people might address a business meeting or attend a job interview using slang and imagine it is appropriate!

    I recently interviewed someone who used slang in their written assessment. Was a bit odd.

    I use rhyming slang all the time. But then again I work with a bunch of Americans and so it's fun that they have no idea what I am talking about.
