At first I was grateful that I was hired by a foreign company. But because of the language issue, they talk down to me and I feel very stretched. Everyday is exhausting! Today I realised a client moved the goalposts about the contract. I was 100% in charge of this project and I tried to fix it since it was as plain as the nose on my face that they are taking advantage of my bad language skill. When my boss heard this he was beyond angry, he shouted at the top of his lung. I was really shaken up by that and just sat through the meeting holding back tears. I think I need to find a way to mitigate this problems that I keep creating. Now I'm preparing a lot of visual aids that could serve as a buffer for possible miscommunication. Although I'm only taking on subordinate projects, It's time to consolidate myself as a competent team member who pulls at least my own weight. I need to speak up when I detect partial decisions and take sides of people who genuinely care about the work.
