Am I in the wrong for speaking in English?

[bigcockman]

Today is a bad day. What a lousy end to the week.

In the morning, I was chided by my tigress boss for wearing jeans. She refused to accept my explanation that HR policy for Friday is dress down day. She said there is no such thing as dress down day if we have a client's meeting. I had to endure her black face the whole morning and afternoon.

This afternoon, at the client's presentation, my tigress boss kept on interrupting me and translated my presentation to Mandarin for the China clients. I can speak Mandarin, but I refused to do so (like my peer colleague) because I do not want to "bend" and compromise my style and my own ways of working.

Singapore has an English speaking working culture. If you cannot understand English, you shouldn't be here in the first place. Of course my peer colleague has a different view on this matter. I respect his own style and his own ways of working if he wishes to speak dual languages in his presentation.

The tigress boss interrupted me so much that I was unable to present my creative ideas and thoughts smoothly and seamlessly. It was sort of a disaster.

After the meeting ended at 4.30pm, my tigress boss asked to see me in her office. She gave me a lecture about my bad presentation skills and chided me again. She even insulted the university I had graduated from.

So, I rebutted and said it's all her fault because she kept on interrupting my presentation flow to translate for the China clients. In return, she accused me of being "inflexible, stubborn and lacking basic communication skills".

And she said I need to pull up my socks, otherwise, she will part ways with me.

What's wrong with insisting on English as a way and means of communication. If I am Indian or Malay, surely, she cannot scold me right? Just because I am a Chinese and I can speak Mandarin, it doesn't mean I should be taken advantage by China clients. I am working in Singapore, not China.

Am I inflexible, stubborn or lacking in basic communication skills as she had alleged?

Any constructive views for me will be seriously appreciated for my own self examination.

Thank you in advance.

how much was the deal worth?

I have no idea. A couple of hundred thousands maybe, but that's really not my problem or job scope to be bothered by financial numbers.

 

[Balls2U]

Women cannot be given managerial roles. Period.

 

[Balls2U]

how much was the deal worth?

I go for meetings involving million dollar deals in t-shirt and bermuda and sneakers. 80% of the time can close. The 20% exception is because the terms sucks or it's a con job.

But if the client is AMDK, I will put on a pair of chinos and a polo t-shirt. That's all.

Obviously you are an idiot. You should always speak in the language your client is most comfortable with if you can. At the same time dress appropriately when you have a meeting with a client regardless what day it is. Honestly I do not think you have a future in the company. Join grab food delivery and you can do whatever you want.

KNN my uncle also think this dress up dress down policy is nonsense KNN it all leepend who you expecting to meet KNN eg in apple everyday is dress down for backend workers KNN can wear bermuda slippers shorts etc but the sales people can wear shorts then later if they going out they can change before going KNN this should be the way KNN but my uncle also think dress up for client presentation or giving good presentation does not leelee affect the overall leesult becas the client is purelee looking at proposals and cost KNN they won't give a damn even you wear until very smart or give very good presentation KNN

KNN my uncle think for this you need to see what language the client is more comfortable with KNN as above the client won't care what language you speak so long they can understand and more importantlee is still the proposal and the cost KNN I.e you can start off with your preferred language KNN if you find the client comfortable then continue with it KNN if your boss interrupt ask her stfu in polite way KNN if you find the client keep leeplying in Mandarin then change to Mandarin la KNN if you still insist then my uncle also will interrupt you KNN

Why I am being called an idiot for speaking English, Singapore's language of working? Why do I need to subject myself to other languages? If they want to come to Singapore to do business, they integrate into our language of working, not the other way around. No?

I am glad you agree with me on this point about my dress code yesterday.

Why can't I speak English? What if I am an Indian or Malay? Must I learn Mandarin just to work in Singapore?

 

[bigcockman]

haaaa

If you are my boss, I will sack you first by quitting.

 

[bigcockman]

KNN if you find the client keep leeplying in Mandarin then change to Mandarin la KNN if you still insist then my uncle also will interrupt you KNN

I am fine if they wish to reply in Mandarin. They should accept it if I reply in English. Why I am being discriminated for speaking my language of comfort and proficiency?

 

[bigcockman]

Honestly I do not think you have a future in the company.

Just because I refuse to speak Mandarin?
