They are being asked not to speak in a language other than English *as much as possible* because of policies such as anti-harrassment, as well as productivity. If the managers do not understand the language, how can they be sure that the conversations they are having are good mannered and work appropriate? If English speaking employees are held to a certain standard, then employees who speak another language should be held to the same. If they need to be able to use their native language to better understand something, they are allowed to do so, but using their native language while they are working is much harder to keep track of. Would you rather that folks who speak other languages as their primary language not be hired at all?
I agree.
