- chunkiestbacon 10y agoI can imagine difficulties that happen regularly in those teams not appearing, since remote work probably attracts more internationally minded people with fluent english. I've had to work with a french dev that only wanted to write emails in english and refused to speak it on the phone, maybe because his office mates could listen. A francophone boss that was so overconfident in his english ability, that he considered using "yeah" instead of "yes" as rude.
- rasur 10y agoI work in/with a mixed Swiss German/German/French/Spanish/Others office department. I don't suppose it will come as much of a shock to hear that English is used in general, with smaller localised dialect outbreaks occurring regularly. Works pretty well, and as an added bonus, you slowly pick up a better understanding/confusion of a variety of languages :)
