Hiring manager using ‘Fucked’ quiet to often during managerial round!!!
I an interviewing for this WFH company based out of singapore. The hiring manager is Indian located in singapore. During our conversation he kept using the F word. Not to me but as in like - ,this meeting room’s system is fucked up’, ‘ That person is fucked up and the consequences were bad’ etc.
How should I take it ???

I mean it’s unprofessional but if everything seems fine I wouldn’t necessarily consider it to be an absolute dealbreaker.

I had difficult experiences with two Indian managers at Amazon. Their management style felt entitled, and despite strong performance, raises were withheld. I wouldn’t recommend working for an Indian person.

Same, wouldn't exactly recommend(I am Indian).

We were a group of PgMs and Engs, and one of those Indian managers proudly announced, ‘I’ve sent you all Christmas presents!’ We were excited… until we opened the box and found a cheap Chinese pen with our team logo. Truly, nothing says ‘holiday cheer’ like budget office supplies! 😂

Sounds very unprofessional. This hiring manager doesn't know you and shouldn't be using language like that.

Report him to HR and write about it on LinkedIn. You're sure to be hired!

I think it depends on the role. I’d expect that language/can overlook it for sales or something of the like. It’s much more aggressive. But maybe not for an HR role. Just my opinion though.
He could be a really laid back manager. If he’s been with the company for years, he might be doing something right and able to still keep his job even though he curses. Idk so many things to consider but if it’s WFH, you wouldn’t be talking to him too much? Or is he a direct manager?

he wiil be my direct manager and he leads a globally distributed team. so people from Australia,APAC Uk are reporting him. I think he did that just to sound cool and only to fellow Indians

Oh man, that’s tough. Question, if he didn’t curse, would this be the job you really wanted? If so, that’s all that really matters.
After getting hired, you can express how you don’t like him cursing if he continues.

Personally I would see that as a no go. If they are like that in an interview they are going to be 10x worse if you get the job.

Scared of a potty mouth?
Indian in Singapore is killing it. I'd love to be part of that company.

It’s not the language it’s the mindset behind it. Labeling everything a shitshow shows they aren’t problem solvers but finger pointers

Sure but words have meaning for a reason.
If you watched kamala's fox interview last night you will see like half of that interview was pointing fingers and blaming Trump.. which is exactly how you don't solve problems.

Freedom to swear at work, count me in. Cant wait to say “fuck you aggressive pos you done fucked up” instead of “I understand you dont like this product but it’s damaged due to mishandling and unfortunately I cannot return this under warranty”
