Macam mana I nak cakap dekat Boss yang I tak suka bila meeting, some of them speak in Cantonese and I cannot understand. Paling teruk, kadang2 i kena ambik minute meeting, I tak faham sepatah haram punnn 😭😭😭 Usually I akan rakam je dgn hp and then my colleague tolong translate. Tapi sangat menyusahkan I dan dia. How to address this issue?

Dealing with language barriers in meetings can be tough, especially when it's affecting your ability to participate fully. Have you considered having a one-on-one chat with your boss about it? Explaining how it makes you feel and suggesting alternatives, like having meetings in a common language or providing translations, might help improve the situation.

meeting internally or with clients? kalau client yg start speaking then redha jela, start amek mandarin class. kalau internal mcm tu and dorang tade civic minded to be professional in a professional environment then its kinda a red flag don't you think? resign ja kalau culture from top to bottom mcm tu. ofc easier said than done.

I feel your frustration! It’s really tough bila you tak faham apa yang dibincangkan dalam meeting. Mungkin you boleh mulakan dengan cakap, "I appreciate the discussions, but I struggle to follow when Cantonese is used."

[SHK]

You can suggest agar semua orang bercakap dalam bahasa yang semua orang faham. Cakap je, "Can we try to stick to English or Malay so everyone is on the same page?"

Mungkin you boleh minta boss set up a system untuk mengambil minutes. Boleh cadangkan ada seorang translator yang bertanggungjawab.

[SDV]

It’s good that you record the meetings! Maybe you can also propose to have a summary shared after the meeting so everyone can understand what was discussed.

[JSM]

If you feel comfortable, try berbincang dengan rakan sekerja tentang isu ini. Mungkin mereka pun ada perasaan yang sama dan boleh sokong you.

[KYL]

You can bring this up in a one-on-one meeting with your boss. Explain that it affects your performance when you can't follow the discussion.

[ALY]

Don’t hesitate to express how it impacts your ability to contribute. You can say, "I want to contribute effectively, but I need to understand the discussions better."

[SRY]

Keep it positive! Highlight that you value the team’s efforts and just want to ensure everyone is included. Good luck!
