Depends what country you are in and which office you are in. Bloody is more acceptable in UK than in NA.
If your were in an accounting office, "give me that bloody file" would mean disrespect but if you were in an operating room with a difficult injury case to say "what we have here is a bloody mess" may be quite correct. The Brits tend to use bloody where Americans tend to use damned more; as in, "he's nothing but a ... nuisance.

It depends where you live.
In Canada for instance people use it as a 'mock' slang, usually because their parents were Brits and used it. They don't really know it's meaning or in what context to use it.
In Britain, it can be considered offensive, and depending on your colleagues' personal take on the word.
My husband would never say it around his young boy, because he thinks it's offensive.
It's amazing but the term 'knackered' for many people is considered as equal to the F-word. I never knew it was even close to being offensive.

No, no one thinks 'bloody' counts as a real swear word anymore

Only if you are in the UK or Australia. In the US we don't give a bloody **** if you say 'bloody.'

depends on the context it is used in. If it's bodily fluids it should be kept to a minimum. If it's used as swearing than it could be. I think of it as English slang.
