For anyone thinking about a job at Export Corp in Brighton Michigan. They pay $16 and hour but for that you're expected to work VERY HARD. yesterday I had to work with a Mexican who couldn't speak English. That's no problem, what the problem was, when I was able to relay the message to what she needed to do for her job, through hand jesters. She refused and shook her head no and smiled at me.

If you are working at an export-oriented company that deals internationally, shifting your approach from a complaint-driven approach to a proactive contributing-to-the-overall-goal one stands to earn you much more than $16 an hour; that starts with showing the initiative of learning an additional language, or finding ways to resolve communication problems (any phone can access Google Translate for free, for instance) so that you become someone the company comes to for solutions.

It might benefit you to learn some Spanish. Is the language barrier a problem with other employees? Maybe you could approach management with a solution of leading some joint language classes for the team

One of the worst double standards in corporate america.

Companies especially startups expect you to not keep interviewing when you accept a job offer. “It can deteroriate your brand.”

But companies would replace you in a heartbeat for almost any reason. Including interviewing a candidate who will replace you (you will be fired as soon as they find a person).

So companies can fuck with the little guys but we can’t look for our best interest?
