Bend the rules, I am Mexican.
More proof that many Mexicans who come here do not want to assimilate to our culture but bring their own here and force us to change for them. A very selfish attitude from them I think. However I am sure there are many who would love to see our way of life go by the way. All in order to show the world we are enlightened and cultured.
Out of north Texas comes this story of a woman who is upset that she has been reprimanded for speaking spainish instead of english at work. Under claims of not knowing better, Julie Rios said she has received verbal and written warnings for talking in her native language. After being hired she says she was never told of this policy.
In February, she was issued a written warning about speaking Spanish. Julie Rios said she has received verbal and written warnings for talking in her native language.The memo issued by CoWorx read: "You are being issued your first written warning for not adhering to company policy by speaking English only when communicating with others on the production floor."
Looking at these facts and what she claims. She has been told of the company policy but ignored it untill she was given an official reprimand in writing. "This is my first language, Spanish, and it's hard for me sometimes when I'm speaking. I have to stop and think what I'm going to say in English," Rios said.
Her comment here makes me wonder then if she is here on a visa or just crossed the boarder. Part of a work visa is the expectation that the recipiant speak with an understanding of being able to communicate in English.
CoWorx's, the company who hired Julie Rios, parent company, Foxconn, did not specifically address the allegations made by Rios, but issued the following written statement.
"Foxconn is a minority-owned international company with numerous locations throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Due to the extensive diversity of the company and the great plethora of languages spoken at our various global locations, it is necessary to ensure that business meetings are conducted in a consistent language to ensure solid communication between all parties and avoid any potential misunderstandings."
This seems resonable enough and logical. However Julia does not see it this way. "I don't think it's right. I have the right to speak whatever language I want … They knew we were Mexicans," she said. "They shouldn't have hired Mexican people."
So useing her logic because she speaks spainish first we as a country should cater to her. That we should just change all of our culture to fit around her. Julia has a good job, benifiets, and an incoming check. But this isn't good enough for her. Living in a foriegn country not of her native birth. The country needs to catter to her and bend the rules all because she is hispanic.
I wonder if she thinks it is unfair that this company she works for doesn't speak spainish in the orient should she work up the ladder and be given a position in the orient.
For the record, English is accepted as the language of buisness around the worlds. Like it or not, it just is.
