For a while I was the only non-spanish speaker on a shipyard barge loading / cleaning crew. The other guys spoke varying degrees of English and I was learning Spanish. Despite the job being incredibly dangerous with huge overhead weight, cranes, massive ships on floating docks, and other heavy equipment abound, we had no real accidents and communicated well. If I didn’t need to know a thing, it was probably said in Spanish. Buy, we kept all radio comms in English, for my sake and for safety.
We decided that, as the workers. Not because some Karen didn’t like Spanish. As long as the work is done safely and communication is timely and in a language understandable by the intended recipients there is not issue. Karen can fuck off.
As a joke you should all go in on a copy Rosetta Stone for her.
“Never” is carrying a lot of weight here. Leaving people out can be super effective, especially if they’re not needed for a task. They might be needed in 20 minutes when it’s time to do their thing, but if a group doesn’t need that person and can communicate more effectively without using that persons language, there’s no need.
Imagine an EMT crew. All of the medics speak Spanish and the ambulance driver only speak English. He needs to know how to get to the emergency, and which hospital to take the victim to, among some other things I’m sure. But I don’t want my all Spanish EMT crew fucking around in English and miscommunicating with each other just to make the driver feel more comfortable.
