A recently surfaced video which showed employees engaged in a heated argument during a team Zoom call has shed light on the challenges of communication in a diverse workplace. The video, shared on the page @desitrolls on Instagram, depicted a discussion among several workers as they deliberated on their New Year plans. During the virtual meeting, tension escalated when one employee requested communication in English, citing a lack of understanding of Hindi among some participants. The individual initially complied but eventually reverted to Hindi, prompting frustration and leading to a full-blown argument. In an attempt to diffuse the situation, another team member offered to translate the conversation. However, this intervention proved futile as the participants began conversing in their respective native languages, further complicating the exchange.

Kindly get educated..Read the Constitution of India.” A second went on to say, “Whats wrong in that? If someone is not understanding local language you should speak in english.. Thats why corporate companies mades english language is mandatory to all.. So that they will not face this problem.” A third user replied, “Valid point though.. should speak in a language understood by all.”
