Just as the phrase is "for God's sake," the proper grammar is "for fuck's sake." It's possessive. The fuck is the subject here, it's for their sake. For the sake of the fuck.
For the sake of the Fuck!

Correct. The sake brewed by the fuck is the best sake. Fuck's sake is the best sake (Japanese rice wine for the uninitiated).
Technically, the Japanese word "sake" can refer to pretty much any alcohol, although its use in English refers exclusively to the alcohol called nihonshu in Japan.
Also, while you're correct that it is also colloquially referred to as "Japanese rice wine," the drink is actually brewed in a manner closer to beer than wine.
Lastly, while Fuck's sake is great, I'm sure, the best is Bink's sake. Yohohoho

I also think for fucks' sake is correct. For the sake of all the fucks previously and all the ones to come.
Could it not also be the plural possessive? "For the sake of all fucks"? In that case, it would be "For fucks' sake."
For the sake of fuck!
Dear Sir/Madam/Gamer

Neither are correct for a work email. If you want to say "for fuck's sakes", instead say "as per our earlier discussion".
Follow for more tips on how to insult people professionally in a work environment.
For the usual candidates I either keep detailed notes, or make sure I can quickly find an earlier conversation (chat, email, whatever).
So in that case I'm then just answering "As we've discussed on 14.04. at 13:39, 17.04 14:30 and 20.04 at 14:15 already..."
They typically get the hint that when I'm capable of remembering in detail when we discussed it they maybe should make an effort of remembering what we discussed.
These bastards tend to refuse to put anything down in writing and insist on calling or meeting face to face because "it's faster". But we all know it's so they have no accountability on what they say.
Then the trick is to immediately do the “follow up” email to recap what was discussed. And CC some folks who weren’t there.
Oh but they will neither confirm, nor correct you and then they will say that the recap was all wrong because reasons and they never even saw your email because too busy doing work or something
But that's a good idea, actually, I'll try that in my team interactions
The important part is to include something alongs the lines of "Please let me know if this is not correct by xx/yy/zzzz, otherwise we will proceed on the assumption it is.' That way their ignoring your message becomes agreement and it is much harder for them to gi back on it.
Use their inaction to get the result you need.
Just send an email afterwards with the meeting notes. CC all participants and/or relevant people. They almost never contend the notes, and if they do, I invite more people to the meeting next time so they can’t pull that again.

The phrase orginated from "for God's sake". Therefore, it should be "for fuck's sake".
Exactly, ownership.
For the sake of the fuck.
And to that point, it is most definitely not "For God Sakes".
Here's one for you: "an apron" used to be "a napron".
Linguists call this sort of change Rebracketing
Also “a norange” > “an orange” (in Spanish it’s “naranja”)
And it went backwards with napkin. “An apkin” > “a napkin”
Yes, but no. It was never a norange in english. English directly adopted the word orange from french, so that's the no, but yes, it was the word naranja from spanish, who took it from arab, and arancia from italian, and maybe from the word gold in french, which is "or".
I’ve never been so delighted to be wrong. Thank you—that’s fascinating.

People still use Quora??? That's kind of like asking a dog or cat for advice... And not a particularly smart dog or cat for that matter
Asking strangers for advice online is so unreliable you might as well ask ChatGPT every time now.
That's what I've been doing and it's been brilliant
Where do you think ChatGPT scraped in the first place?
That's exactly why I said "you might as well". Because it's the same shit but faster
Quora results show up way more often than "that other website" now when I Google stuff. Google really took that exodus to heart lmao
But yeah fuck quora and their "sign in to see answers" and then it's just more questions half the page. But sometimes it's useful

I always say “for fucks sake” but now im realizing makes its “for fuck’s sake”? Not sure who fuck is though.
For the sake of the fuck, for fuck's sake.
The fuck is not a who or we it would be for Fuck's sake.
Oh, maybe Fuck is what the merry men called Friar Tuck when they were drunk!

It reminds me of a local translation of Borderlands 2 in russian that added an edgy description to one weapon. Since we are a host of such a thing as orthodox christianity, with holy trinity to top it all, there is a common wording like 'In the name of the God, the Son, the Holy Spirit'. They took it and themed it after pigs: 'In the name of the oats, the hay, the piggy ear'. Here are original and remix:
Во имя Отца, и Сына, и Святого Духа
Во имя Овса, и Сена, и Свиного Уха
As you can see, most letters match, and they sound very close. There's no reason for me to remember it for ten+ years, and now you know it too.
I don't know how to sound professional. Maybe try "on behalf of fuck's sake"?
In this reading "behalf" and "sake" are doing the same thing for "fuck" so that usage read a little redundant to me. If you're looking for the "on behalf of" structure you could go with:
"I you've told me you don't give a fuck, but I do. On behalf of fuck, I'm communicating to you that the action requested needs to be completed by you and your team."

Is it "for fucks sake" or "for fuck sake"? It's for a work email so it has to sound professional.
For fuck's ache.
ky jelly is pretty good for that
