At an old job in slack I said something like "for fuck's sake, it returns a 200 OK even when there's an error" and one of the directors was like "Language, please."

So I started saying "fudge" instead of "fuck". "This deployment is fudged up. are we going to roll it back?"

They "let me go" a couple months later, but joke's on them I'm at a different job doing better work for double pay.

Thankfully I never did get formally reprimanded for cussing...

But I did stop swearing in commit summaries after multiple colleagues, over the span of months, laughed when visiting the repo for an internal tool whose latest commit, boldly displayed on top, was as I recall, fuck this or fuck you (and to be fair the pipeline system was being a prick, but I don't suppose that needed to be broadcasted so widely).
