Professionalism counts in the work world. Proper English shows good taste, good schooling and an understanding of professional protocols. Slang is a shortcut that suggests excessive informality and lack of appreciation for the workplace setting and expectations.

 

Speaking well is a sign of your professionalism, suggesting you will adhere to other standards of good business: honesty, fairness and service.

Agree with my colleagues. Slangs are essential elements in some businesses. Take for an example the movie making industry.
