I’m back in school with a bunch of Indian dudes, and communication is 100% a thing. It sucks that it is, what should be nothing more than benign social friction with immigrants feels different in a hostile society.
The one guy I’ve been talking to seems pretty cool, but I’ll get these texts from him occasionally that are a bit rough, it really seems like the language barrier does not help our interactions lol
Not that it’s super bad or anything, it’s just that we have frequent, minor misunderstandings and sometimes need several back-and-fourths getting on the same page
Totally cool and normal… for cool and normal people. But when all that yappin takes place on the company dime :porky-scared-flipped:
