As we move to a more global and sustainable world, the Chinese and Russians
in our company need to do their part and learn proper English, for
heaven sake. After all, English is the one and ONLY language of
business.
In India, everyone speaks English! In Singapore as well!
Even in Quebec (which is "up" in Canada) people have started to speak English.
Stan pointed out that it takes 40 years
to learn Chinese; Stan told me that "no one uses Russian any more,
except the Russians". So neither the Russian or Chinese language are
either global, or sustainable.
How did the lanaguage issue come up?-one
may ask. Well, Stan and I were in a concall on Friday and Stan
understood 3% of what was said.....3% before tax! (I understood much
more, because I am a linguist, having mastered French.)
Stan texted me on Saturday:"I want a
unilingual company in a year, Gloria. Even the Scots try and have an
English accent. Just get this company linguistically global by Q2 2014".
Is this HR's domain? I believe it is. I will do anything to keep my seat at the table in our global company.
I am the First Lady of HR with a stellar career. "People" is my middle name, on Tuesdays.
