fucking rude, that's what it is. Start chatting in a language not everyone in the room understands. It's also de quickest way to make me deslike you, even if I myself understand the language.

In my eyes it literally downgrade the speakers from humans to monkeys quasi permanently

Ah, yeah, fuck you Gboard for auto misspelling my rant

IDK, if you're doing it coz you want to call someone an asshole I'm OK with it

@atheist nope, don't even know who you are lol

Especially if the language is management bullshit.

Then get with the program and learn the language

yeah i have co-workers like that. It's why I don't sit close to them at company get-togethers. I can't even understand them when they speak English.

it's funny cuz I notice this most often with brazilians

on the other hand, I feel awkward if people are speaking Russian and think their convo is private and I'm just sitting beside them and hearing all their details and they probably didn't expect that...

I agree it seem rude.

But it has to be said: this is part of the reason why some companies are reluctant to hire employees that don’t speak the native language - for a company in Iceland this is a non-issue as long as everyone speaks Icelandic - as soon as they hire a few people that don’t this becomes a potential concern

There might be ideas of hiring english speaking devs are desperate to be hired - but this is a concern. Companies are afraid spontaneous conversations will be lost if everyone has to speak english

@jestdotty a lot of brazilians fall back to their language because majority of population didn’t get proper English education, but I also have seen a lot of russians speaking like nobody can understand them lol
