For those who don’t understand. If they are looking for people to who speak other languages they will be looking to drop extra work on your lap which may even be outside your job description for the same pay hence why they ask if they get paid more and the more they pay the better her spanish will be. Pay nothing more she doesn’t speak any, pay a little more and she has basic spanish etc etc
Yep! Expecally for like a retail job where there are spanish customers they might make you the translator for them or just hand you off to them, which is fine but they better be paying for that work for the spanish speaker

Remember anything said with HR you might as well be talking to your boss they're there for the company not for you they're there to protect the company and to make the company more money not for you doesn't matter what happens
I've done this at a job before. They kept offering promotions but never made them happen so I just started producing work based on what I was paid. One day there was an issue with my pay that I was fighting and I basically drafted what a lawyer would. They said something about how I must have hired a lawyer to write it. I said no, I wrote it. They said that's not how you write for us. I said what I write for you is at the level you pay me for. You aren't paying me for my full potential and ability so you won't be unjustly enriched.
@user-ev4sx8sm6v Everyone has different reasons. For me, it's because the job gave me a lot of flexibility to come and go as I pleased and I was so familiar with it that I could do it in my sleep, so I could finish a week's worth of work in a couple days. I used that familiarity and my ability to do my job with ease to establish and build a business until it did well enough that I no longer had to work for anyone and I earned more with that than I ever could have working for someone else. That job was also the best education I could ever have in learning how to build and run a business along with how to find the right talent to get things done. They got what they needed out of me, at the price they paid. I got what I needed out of them, which was priceless.

My boss was just a total wack. She got upset at me cus I updated the tablet they provided to me that was so slow it pretty much didn't work and was useless. She didn't know how to maneuver the tablet after the update and tried to send it to IT to "fix it". I also had issues with a computer that we used to clock in and all it needed to do was just be connected with the wifi or an ethernet cable and she looked at me like I was speaking alien when I told her it's a simple fix but she insisted she MUST have IT fix the problem. This lady was batshit too and hated men for just existing. She was full of herself in every way and thought her position meant everything to the point she told me that she was my superior and could speak to me as she pleased and if I didn't like it that I could find another job.
@@Xenon-h9z or maybe the issue is capitalism. Capitalism is not trying to give you the best product. Just look at Tesla the cars.

@@BryanM86 a major portion of the US population doesn't speak more than English. The people that are bilingual in the US are almost entirely migrants. I've lived in the US for 17 years now and from first hand experience I see far more people who can barely speak English than any other language and I did mention right off from the start that I spoke multiple languages and they said it wouldn't affect my pay but then months into the job I was being called to speak to many customers in departments that had nothing to do with me. If they couldn't find me they would try to get a Spanish speaker to translate for Portuguese or Italian as if it were the same thing when it's not and often times those people were being misguided by the pure ignorance and arrogance of management. I said no lies there and to be frank I think that people who claim everything and anything you see on the internet as being fake are absolute morons and worse than those who naively believe what they see on the internet. If I had claimed Bigfoot is real then sure you can call me out on my BS but it's so fuckin stupid to make the claim that something so mundane is a lie and I'm tilted by how dumb it was for you to say such a thing.

When the PM asked him "wait do you also speak German then?" without missing a beat, still talking German, my dad answered "Depends, do you also pay German?"

I work at a translation/interpreting agency and people think this isn't a real industry. Speakers valuing their skills makes language skills more valuable for everyone!
I work at a hospital and they roll in a device that connects to remote translators. So great that the service can translate for nearly every known language. Much better than having a partner or child translate since they don't know medical terminology
I grew up in Texas & a lot of the children of immigrants spoke half Spanish. They had plenty of gringo Spanish words. They used Truck-a for truck & Car-o for car so often I believed they were real Spanish words.
Once I was asked for my monthly rate. I told them if I was going to be requested and guided I would request X. If I was going to work by myself and some issues my rate would be 2X. If I was going to have to communicate with people, solve issues, make agreements, meet deadlines and fix mistakes my rate would be 5X. They paid 5X and I spent 2 years with them before another company doubled my income.
@@samanthab1294 let's say in my country the top is X while with the languages the base is X, the top can be up to like 50X.

I love this! I did this with Excel. My old job found out I was pretty proficient in Excel, and suddenly guess who was doing all the stats and data and reporting (in addition to my actual duties) and it just became an avalanche of work. When I discussed some more pay with my boss for doing all this additional work, he said that it fell within the “other duties as required” and I said no, that’s for the random, short term things that may pop up, not for having an entire second role added to my current. He didn’t see it that way so I started looking for jobs, and I put that on my resume “Can be proficient in Excel” or something like…
fuck that boss man. in good places such excel skills amount to a few thousands worth jump in salary depending. it looked like you might even have had done data analytics which is an entire pay grade by itself.
Proficiency in Excel is such a valuable skill!! One of the part timers at my job has had another full time job for 2 years now.... we still retain him and pay him weekly just on the off chance someone's fucks up any workbooks.

Unironically a good life lesson. If you feel like you arent being paid fairly for what you bring to the table, youre not being spoiled, you actually probably arent and there is probably another company out there that would pay you more fairly
I had the same at a rather stressful job, one day they asked me if i could speak english yet would offer no further compensation, the job itself was stressful enough as it was and they only paid as little as they could get away with so they just wanted to throw more work on top with no further compensation or relief. Suddenly my English skills were not sufficient for conversation, they tried to send me English speaking customers anyway because they thought i would just do it if confronted. Long story short, i didn't. I refined it to a point where i pretended to read a pre written statement "i am sorry i can't speak English" but managed to purposefully butcher it so hard that the 2nd customer hang up with a horrified "oh god !". That kinda threw me into a laughing fit.
I always tell my bilingual coworkers not to translate to customers for free, they have a skill they are literally giving away without any compensation because they don't think about it being a value they're adding.
THIS. If you work in corporate, what you do is telegraph learning the skill so they'll consider a raise for incentive (or display it if you have it, but only informally so they know you have the skill). DO NOT JUST LET THEM GET YOU WORKING BILINGUALLY WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT. Here in Canada, bilingual Fren/Eng positions make at least 1-2$ more on average for the same job/position level at the same company, but that's for "work communication" level of French (so basic communication - you can make a full sentence and understand a full sentence, but are not yet fluent) and will pay MORE for fluency and even MORE if its native fluency or first-language fluency with fluent English skills as well. Learn another language, it helps keep your mind healthy AND its a bargaining chip for job negotiations... Best thing my mom ever did was INSIST I go into French Immersion. It caused me some issues with learning to read and write in English, but since English is my native language, I was able to fix that easily enough. I just wish I had KEPT fluency from graduating with biling. certs from secondary. I ran so fast away from studying language after I exited grade 12 that I now have to RELEARN in order to market as bilingual-fluent. Do not be me, kids, practice that sh1t.
@nock1388 Do you even KNOW what he's working as before assuming it's the worst job ever tho? He's just simply saying that his bilingual co-workers are basically giving away one of their valuable skills that could be charged extra if they just do it for free instead of asking to be paid for their translation service.

I worked a job once where i would get pulled to provide customer service in spanish. First time, no biggie, second time, mehh. When it started to become the norm, i asked for a raise for my ability to do a job no one else was capable of doing. When they denied my request, i told them i spoke english just like everyone else in the shop and I would no longer be "helping" a multi billion dollar co. By doing more for nothing.
Sent my CV to a hotel, as a cook. Asked to take up in the "asian/sushi restaurant" they want to start. I have enough time on my CV to take up head cook in it. "Will you give me the appropriate pay you're advertising?" "Well, since you applied as a general cook, no" "Then I guess I actually don't know Japanese" "Wait, you know Japanese?" "If you pay me to speak it, sure I do." "I'll... get back to you on that... meanwhile, come up with a menu in case we hire you" Honestly, I don't care if I get the gig or not. If they pay me? I got a dozen dishes with variations on and a name for it. If they don't? I guess sayonara for'em.

Everything is negotiable. You just haven't met the right price.
EVERYTHING with HR is negotiable.
Not necessarily
@@Hirotoro4692 - Trust me it is... I have told them flat out. No pay, No on call. Simple. They paid. Depends on whether you have a good hand to play or nada.
It's the Puerto Rican accent that sent me
Def 😂😂😂😂
dead lol
It’s because we know 😂
Lmao 😂😂😂
Me too! We recognize our own lol
For those who don’t understand. If they are looking for people to who speak other languages they will be looking to drop extra work on your lap which may even be outside your job description for the same pay hence why they ask if they get paid more and the more they pay the better her spanish will be. Pay nothing more she doesn’t speak any, pay a little more and she has basic spanish etc etc
Yep! Expecally for like a retail job where there are spanish customers they might make you the translator for them or just hand you off to them, which is fine but they better be paying for that work for the spanish speaker
@@artsyscrub3226 I used to work in security for a public mall in Sacramento, when we had German tourist's I would be called to the scene.
I would say that depends on the Job. For big producing companies that sell to many countries (or that buy raw Material from many countries) it is often Standard to have many bilingual or multilingual workers.
But i understand what you mean and the Video IS pretty cool 😄
@@Marcus_Postma That kinda implies German tourists are a security risk. As German tourist, I agree with that assessment, socks + sandals are sartorial assault.

"If you're good at something, never do it for free."
Lmao, bird stared sounding like she was a local Spanish speaker from one of the Countries itself as soon they said 2.50 😂
it cut off in this short, but she basically says "for 2.50 I'll speak it like it's the only language I know. Lemme sign that contract"
@@OatmealTheCrazy
Amazing lmaooooo
@@waroftheworlds2008 2.50 extra an hour sounds great
Thank you so much for restating and explaining the joke. I would have never laughed if not for this comment.
@@waroftheworlds2008
Depends on the hourly but an extra 2.50 an hour is actually really good
"So we really do need a Spanish speaker" damn employers screwing over people before they're even hired
Trying to get a Spanish speaker for free
Right I am sick at the idea that I have to go back into the work field to deal with BS like this.
Bargaining is something very important while getting a job in America. In other countries it's normal to bargain the price of goods that you are actively buying. Different places different customs/cultures.
Remember anything said with HR you might as well be talking to your boss they're there for the company not for you they're there to protect the company and to make the company more money not for you doesn't matter what happens
I've done this at a job before. They kept offering promotions but never made them happen so I just started producing work based on what I was paid. One day there was an issue with my pay that I was fighting and I basically drafted what a lawyer would. They said something about how I must have hired a lawyer to write it. I said no, I wrote it. They said that's not how you write for us. I said what I write for you is at the level you pay me for. You aren't paying me for my full potential and ability so you won't be unjustly enriched.
@user-ev4sx8sm6v Everyone has different reasons. For me, it's because the job gave me a lot of flexibility to come and go as I pleased and I was so familiar with it that I could do it in my sleep, so I could finish a week's worth of work in a couple days. I used that familiarity and my ability to do my job with ease to establish and build a business until it did well enough that I no longer had to work for anyone and I earned more with that than I ever could have working for someone else. That job was also the best education I could ever have in learning how to build and run a business along with how to find the right talent to get things done. They got what they needed out of me, at the price they paid. I got what I needed out of them, which was priceless.
That 'yo espico español' was gold. As a native spanish I sometimes hear it from english speakers but that's a good joke for us too 😂
I was wondering about that. I've learnt a little bit of Spanish and I was taught hablo, not espico.
What does Yo espico.. mean?
@@Curry_Tales2107 It's gibberish but on purpose. It's a joke implying the person doesn't have any real vocabulary so they took an English word (speak) and Spanishized it. May as well have said "My el trucko."
"Oh i see whats happening" lmao 💀
"oh i see what's happening here" 😂😂
Baby girl hold out for $5.00 you know they got it 😂
It was still very informal at 2.50 😂
Yes they probably would have it but that might be pushing it. At some points you need to know when to fall back. Now if you have more of the leverage ie you have other options, then go for it.
@@rosequartzjewelryllc They dont have a spanish speaker so its not like they would know xD
@@cmg2853 true. I’m just pointing out she’s still not giving them more than they pay for.
Bilingual speakers should only get paid a $1 more. It actually coddles the Spanish speakers who should learn English when they come to the USA.
Im quad-lingual and my job had the audacity to tell me im not all that when i asked for a raise. No one else in the entire building could communicate with every customer the way I did. I left of course
Hell yeah!
@@Xenon-h9z unlikely, I have good work ethics and will go above an beyond with everything I do whether I'm praised for it or not. I can't help but do what I'm supposed to and more. My boss was just a total wack. She got upset at me cus I updated the tablet they provided to me that was so slow it pretty much didn't work and was useless. She didn't know how to maneuver the tablet after the update and tried to send it to IT to "fix it". I also had issues with a computer that we used to clock in and all it needed to do was just be connected with the wifi or an ethernet cable and she looked at me like I was speaking alien when I told her it's a simple fix but she insisted she MUST have IT fix the problem. This lady was batshit too and hated men for just existing. She was full of herself in every way and thought her position meant everything to the point she told me that she was my superior and could speak to me as she pleased and if I didn't like it that I could find another job.
@@Xenon-h9z or maybe the issue is capitalism. Capitalism is not trying to give you the best product. Just look at Tesla the cars. They are so poorly made that they can lock you inside the car by accident, and it is frequent that people are seeking glass breaking Hammers, as accessories for the car.
What I am saying is, they will always try to pay as little as possible. Not what is fair. If you find a boss that is fair, that is an abnormality within the system.
What if suddenly you went with the customers like "sorry me no speak Espanol"
@@BryanM86 a major portion of the US population doesn't speak more than English. The people that are bilingual in the US are almost entirely migrants. I've lived in the US for 17 years now and from first hand experience I see far more people who can barely speak English than any other language and I did mention right off from the start that I spoke multiple languages and they said it wouldn't affect my pay but then months into the job I was being called to speak to many customers in departments that had nothing to do with me. If they couldn't find me they would try to get a Spanish speaker to translate for Portuguese or Italian as if it were the same thing when it's not and often times those people were being misguided by the pure ignorance and arrogance of management. I said no lies there and to be frank I think that people who claim everything and anything you see on the internet as being fake are absolute morons and worse than those who naively believe what they see on the internet. If I had claimed Bigfoot is real then sure you can call me out on my BS but it's so fuckin stupid to make the claim that something so mundane is a lie and I'm tilted by how dumb it was for you to say such a thing. Call me mad but I just can't stand that level of stupidity personally, it's just too much for me to let it pass without saying anything.
😂😂 even the accent came out clear. It sounded Caribbean 😂

If any of my job interviewers would be a cute cartoon mushroom i wouldn't be jobless
Reminds me of when my dad was being interviewed in English for an HSE position in a German oil&gas company by the PM, then the construction manager busted into the office swearing in German about a supervisor from the client messing with a team. PM tried to save appearances by introducing my dad and the CM in English, and my dad presented himself in German (he speaks that language too). When the PM asked him "wait do you also speak German then?" without missing a beat, still talking German, my dad answered "Depends, do you also pay German?"
And that's how my dad got a raise before even being hired. Different times...
Uau! Er so fröhlich mit seinen arbeit, ja?
Different aditude.
I was selling cars and this old Chinese couple came in. Man spoke some English but his wife was talking smack about me. Heard a few racist terms here and there. So in Mandarin, I said "I'm sorry, I don't speak Mandarin. Can we continue in English?" And her face went so red lmao.
Oh yeah I have on my resume that I speak French, and can communicate with deaf people through ASL, but my ability fades as soon as you reveal I'm not getting a half decent top up
I can also understand Arabic, but can't speak it, only my hairdresser knows about that one
Mi Espanol es muy Bien por una persona usar Duolingo para dos anos. Actualemente mas un dos anos, mas quiero (not sure if more like is mas quiero or ) cerca del tres anos
I work at a translation/interpreting agency and people think this isn't a real industry. Speakers valuing their skills makes language skills more valuable for everyone!
I work at a hospital and they roll in a device that connects to remote translators. So great that the service can translate for nearly every known language. Much better than having a partner or child translate since they don't know medical terminology
If you don't mind me asking, what agency do you work for, and do they have remote work?
@@jellyfish_adventures9877 - house MD had a child deliberately translating incorrectly.
I watch this to laugh hysterically. Really, it's that funny! I love the 'gringo' non-word "espico". I died!! OMG!
I grew up in Texas & a lot of the children of immigrants spoke half Spanish. They had plenty of gringo Spanish words. They used Truck-a for truck & Car-o for car so often I believed they were real Spanish words.
I love the added detail of "best employer" framed on a wall. XD
Just the comment I was looking for 🎉
Never have i ever been more motivated to learn another language just to do this 😂😂
Once I was asked for my monthly rate. I told them if I was going to be requested and guided I would request X. If I was going to work by myself and some issues my rate would be 2X. If I was going to have to communicate with people, solve issues, make agreements, meet deadlines and fix mistakes my rate would be 5X.
They paid 5X and I spent 2 years with them before another company doubled my income.
@@cagtbd how much can you high your payment base in the languages you know?
@@samanthab1294 let's say in my country the top is X while with the languages the base is X, the top can be up to like 50X. Of course the top with languages comes with so much knowledge and responsibilities I wouldn't dare to try it unless I get "scammed" into it because I don't want to get close to it, I love my freedom.
I speak Japanese, but apparently that isn't a useful language to speak in the US lol
@@coolbrotherf127 it really depends on the industry you're working for.
I see choosing water in a job internship very smart decision, while the other interviewer is having coffee
I love this! I did this with Excel. My old job found out I was pretty proficient in Excel, and suddenly guess who was doing all the stats and data and reporting (in addition to my actual duties) and it just became an avalanche of work. When I discussed some more pay with my boss for doing all this additional work, he said that it fell within the “other duties as required” and I said no, that’s for the random, short term things that may pop up, not for having an entire second role added to my current. He didn’t see it that way so I started looking for jobs, and I put that on my resume “Can be proficient in Excel” or something like…
Yes if they can give you extra money for extra skills present them as “extra skills”
fuck that boss man. in good places such excel skills amount to a few thousands worth jump in salary depending. it looked like you might even have had done data analytics which is an entire pay grade by itself.
Proficiency in Excel is such a valuable skill!! One of the part timers at my job has had another full time job for 2 years now.... we still retain him and pay him weekly just on the off chance someone's fucks up any workbooks. He created ALL of them over the years, and the day he can't come in to fix them, we're FUCKED.
Yeah. Pretty much all butthole bosses will use the "falls under other duties as required" bs to get away with their abuse. If Sally doesn't have to do it and she has the same job title, then hell no, I'm not going to do it either.
I'm just seeing this, but fck excel, bridge yourself to access and then to SQL or go straight yo SQL. The certs alone are worth a 30k raise
Is that negotiable?
-No- Yes
Things are almost always negotiable if they really want/need someone
Nyes
These videos are pure gold
2.50 gets you the accent and the slang.
Spanish is fascinating to me because each country had it own candace
But that's every language
As opposed to English? Grow up!
Wait till you hear people Glascow speak in "English"
Or Australians...
@DimT670 True, but Spanish has a large range of countries that speak it. Almost to the point that some cannot understand eachother.
@@Lanteaderbecause each have there own slang and grammar. Funny enough most of the “Spanish” taught around my area (SC) is Spain Spanish but we really should be learning Mexican and other Latino Spanish which are the groups that actually make us have to attempt to learn Spanish in school
An extra $2.50 an hour is the equivalent of $100 a week and $5,200 a year before tax
So is it a big amount or a small?
@@Curry_Tales2107I would say big. 😊
Small
@@rayofhop3depends on where you live and your mansion. It could be a rounding error or a significant part of your income.
Big if they don't use e-verify and pay you in cash. Small if you pay taxes.
For $2.50 she got 100% Puerto Rican slang with all the accent 🤣🤣🤣 thats so funny
Know your worth and do not sell yourself short. Thats what I get from this.😂
Remember. Apply this to EVERY extra skill you have. Not just language. If they want more, they pay more. Its how every other commodity on the planet works.
@sumduma55 good thing careers died in 2015 when employers stopped giving raises and promotions. Remember, hiring budgets are higher than retention budgets.
You get what you pay for. You cant complain the $4 steak didnt have truffle butter on it just because the $50 steak did.
@sumduma55 exactly. Hence why, if you have those skills, dont use them for an employer who isnt paying for them.
The algorithm has blessed me with this timeless masterpiece. 🙏🏅🙌 Great job, keep it up!
Welcome welcome ❤️
She sold the Spanish DLC extra xD
Clever
She said “One peso fifty cents - I can speak Spanish - A little more - Hey, a little faster”

@@YoungTheopholis AND a little faster
I love this. Be in power girl, you deserve to get paid for what you bring to the company.

@@alice.the.adder.960right. I’m a Dominican. It’s def Boriqua😊
"ask the board for $5 and let me know what they say" it NEVER hurts to ask. this gets you 2.50 or higher.

"We don't pay you more. We just single you out for specific callers."

🎉they deserve it. My Spanish speaking co workers had to talk to clients in spanish while typing in English, wow!
Unironically a good life lesson. If you feel like you arent being paid fairly for what you bring to the table, youre not being spoiled, you actually probably arent and there is probably another company out there that would pay you more fairly
I had the same at a rather stressful job, one day they asked me if i could speak english yet would offer no further compensation, the job itself was stressful enough as it was and they only paid as little as they could get away with so they just wanted to throw more work on top with no further compensation or relief. Suddenly my English skills were not sufficient for conversation, they tried to send me English speaking customers anyway because they thought i would just do it if confronted. Long story short, i didn't. I refined it to a point where i pretended to read a pre written statement "i am sorry i can't speak English" but managed to purposefully butcher it so hard that the 2nd customer hang up with a horrified "oh god !". That kinda threw me into a laughing fit.
Lmao
"oh god" 😂😂
I love this, also, whenever I switch between my languages, my voice totally changes 😂
Knowing your going to be "the Spanish speaker" and delegated a lot of tasks because of it, I can see where the "could" comes from now.
Gonna try this at my interview next week.
Let me know the results 🫶🏼
So, results?

She said 1.50, for that much i can speak a little spanish slowly.. for 2.50 im fluent as hell
I always tell my bilingual coworkers not to translate to customers for free, they have a skill they are literally giving away without any compensation because they don't think about it being a value they're adding.
THIS. If you work in corporate, what you do is telegraph learning the skill so they'll consider a raise for incentive (or display it if you have it, but only informally so they know you have the skill). DO NOT JUST LET THEM GET YOU WORKING BILINGUALLY WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT. Here in Canada, bilingual Fren/Eng positions make at least 1-2$ more on average for the same job/position level at the same company, but that's for "work communication" level of French (so basic communication - you can make a full sentence and understand a full sentence, but are not yet fluent) and will pay MORE for fluency and even MORE if its native fluency or first-language fluency with fluent English skills as well.
Learn another language, it helps keep your mind healthy AND its a bargaining chip for job negotiations... Best thing my mom ever did was INSIST I go into French Immersion. It caused me some issues with learning to read and write in English, but since English is my native language, I was able to fix that easily enough. I just wish I had KEPT fluency from graduating with biling. certs from secondary. I ran so fast away from studying language after I exited grade 12 that I now have to RELEARN in order to market as bilingual-fluent.
Do not be me, kids, practice that sh1t.
@nock1388 Do you even KNOW what he's working as before assuming it's the worst job ever tho? He's just simply saying that his bilingual co-workers are basically giving away one of their valuable skills that could be charged extra if they just do it for free instead of asking to be paid for their translation service.

Sent my CV to a hotel, as a cook. Asked to take up in the "asian/sushi restaurant" they want to start. I have enough time on my CV to take up head cook in it.
"Will you give me the appropriate pay you're advertising?"
"Well, since you applied as a general cook, no"
"Then I guess I actually don't know Japanese"
"Wait, you know Japanese?"
"If you pay me to speak it, sure I do."
"I'll... get back to you on that... meanwhile, come up with a menu in case we hire you"
