Never join one of these teams if you're not the modal race. This isn't the case for every team, but there will be important conversations in a language you don't know, and worst case, you were brought on so they have someone to let go when the company demands another 5%.
- hshshshshsh 2y agoHow do you know the conversation is important if you don't know the language?
- alexanderchr 2y agoHave you never noticed that you were left out of an important conversation, without hearing the conversation itself?
- hshshshshsh 2y agoWell the case is different here. OP was present in the conversation and was able to figure out it's important without knowing the language. Otherwise they can just say they had a very important conversation in a place where OP was not present. Also curious what happened after OP figured it out and asked them to switch to English. Did they refuse? Did OP reach out to his manager? Did manager ignore OP? Did OP reach out to skip or HR about the manager? Lot of missing details.

- lionkor 2y agoYeah, could be
- tyingq 2y agoNoting you seem to be the only person on the team surprised when important news is shared more broadly later.
