Example: several of my former coworkers are from Mexico, Peru and Argentina, meaning they share Spanish as a common language.
I used to practice Spanish with them, but my last charge (like a ward’s manager) would yell at us to stop it, use English only. She would get very angry really fast if she heard anything in a language she didn’t understand.
I find it stupid, because some of them would use Spanish to better explain to the new nurses how to do certain procedures, but maybe I’m missing something?
It is always negative in the case of the user’s context with the information we have. You implied an entirely different situation, meaning it’s an entirely different question.
It’s not an entirely different question. This is how conversations work on message boards. You say something in response to the post, and people add to the conversation. In this particular situation with the OP it could be racism, it could be dissuading people from talking about unions, quite simply all you’re doing is guessing, because you don’t have the entire story. I added that there could be more, not flat out denying what you said, saying there is context that could be the reason for situations such as this.
