@daarkfall I work in South India, most people here talk in their native language. They talk to me in English, but when we are in a group, they just forget everything and start talking in their own mother tongue. Now I'm not against this. But I am really busy with lots of stuff outside work too. Don't have time to learn their language. And most of the groups, during coffee breaks, talk less, stare into their phones ​more. Bitch (them) I can do that by myself. Why do I need their company. So I sit at a table, me, my lemon tea, and Quora.

I once made the mistake of thinking the other devs in my office would be able to carry on a conversation at the same technical level of a recent college grad (myself). My direct supervisor at the time was shortly promoted to manage the department and I had someone else over me. For years after, she made comments in my annual review about how I need to get better at speaking to people according to their technical level... She'd never have any examples of me having a problem with that, but instead mention how "it's been a concern, and I haven't had a chance to see you interact with others to feel comfortable that it's no longer an issue."
Some managers seem to fill reviews without first consulting reality or rational thought. -
@RevThwack not in my case, this douche has been a manager for a decade. Stupid ass POS (read Piece of Shit) is worth less than a mascot. He will, in a few years, be replaced by a younger, more competent, manager who the company does not have to throw useless cash on.

When your boss wants it done now but you're on vacation
Had annual appraisal meeting today. Been in this company for 2yrs now, after being hired outta college. It happens first after 2 years, then yearly.
I have long since known that my boss is a scumbag. My lucky college mates got assigned to great managers, leaders I must say, while I got the typical, know it all boss.
Now this racist, motherfucker, for reasons unknown to me, has mostly disliked me. But hey, the feelings mutual but I don't ever go busting his ass.
Previous employees eventually transferred locations or departments. But I stuck coz I respected some colleagues and learnt a lot from them.
Now this nutjob gave me a 2/5 rating. Says I need to improve my communication. I need to talk more. WTF you goatfucking cunt! I decide how much I wanna talk. I don't waste my time, and even if I did, I don't have any right to waste someone elses time. And talking about communication skills - BITCH! Everytime you speak something, I need like 2 mins to compile your jumbled fucking words in my mind to be able to comprehend what it is you wanted to convey. And you cunt! YOU are going to tell me I need to improve my communication. Dumbfuck I ain't no Shakespeare, but I can convey my message through.
Fucking peasant!
Hmm. The lemon tea sure is good today.
