Comment on what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace?

It’s weird to me. As long as the people speaking to each other understand each other that’s what should matter. We shouldn’t limit folks.

I once was in a meeting and was told they’ll speak Polish instead of English since I was the only non Polish speaker.

I no longer had to attend that daily meeting so that was nice.

Another time I was forwarded an email at work. I opened it but couldn’t understand the thread. The two people in the thread were speaking Portuguese and forgot that I didn’t.

They then happily translated and we had a good laugh about it.

The only time it’s uncomfortable for me is if people are talking about me, but like I have no reason to think they’re doing that so no problem.
